VMware Workstation 6.5 consolidates the best of desktop virtualization

Virtualization software can help you run programs that your native Linux distro wouldn't. While Linux users have many virtualization options, none comes close to the all-encompassing VMware Workstation 6.5. Introduced last month, VMware Workstation 6.5 continues the tradition of outshining and outpacing the competition with a host of useful new features, and boldly goes where no virtualization software has gone before -- into the realm of virtual machines with accelerated 3-D graphics. Despite the advances, some of the new features are still in beta, so Workstation 6.5 might not be the best virtualization option for everyone.

VMware's Mobile Virtualization Strategy Calls for Open Source Responses

Proprietary virtualization player VMWare has just announced its VMWare Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) designed to bring virtualization to mobile phones. It's due to ship in 2009, and is a lightweight software layer that can run even on memory-constrained phones. For several reasons, this virtualization platform could have an impact on mobile phones running open source operating systems, and on application development for mobile open source operating systems.

Make virtualization work for mobile devices

Despite virtualization's obvious appeal to embedded software developers and OEMs, adoption of the technology may stall due to inherent limitations in virtualization platform architecture. Here is a look at the limitations and how they can be overcome by a different approach to building embedded virtualization software.

Enabling Desktop Virtualization in High-Risk Environments

Server virtualization has moved well beyond the arena of early adopters and is an accepted solution to many of the challenges faced by IT organizations. However, desktop virtualization has not made the same inroads. Certainly, there have been some key uses for desktop virtualization, such as development and test, but there has not been broad penetration into the non-technical desktop market. There are signs that this trend is about to change.

VMware to Bring Virtualization to Mobile Devices

VMware, Inc., a provider of virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacenter, today announced plans to bring virtualization and its benefits to mobile phones through the new VMware Mobile Virtualization Platform. Built on technology acquired from Trango Virtual Processors in October 2008, the company claims that its VMware MVP will help handset vendors reduce development time and get mobile phones with value-added services to market faster. In addition, it says that end users will benefit by being able to run multiple profiles – for example, one for personal use and one for work use – on the same phone.

Microsoft's GM of Virtualization Strategy: "Our Customers Are Ready"

"Doing more with less resources has never been more true. And virtualization software has matured at the right time so that customers can save money on buying fewer servers, use less energy in datacenters and use less real estate," says Mike Neil, Microsoft's GM for Virtualization, in this Exclusive Q&A with SYS-CON's Virtualization Journal.

Virtualization Webcast on SYS-CON.TV - Red Hat and the Opening of Virtualization

Open Source. Open Standards. Open Collaboration. For the past 15 years, Linux has served as the benchmark of a successful global open source project. The impact has been far reaching: today it powers the Internet, a significant portion of the datacenter, is the emerging market choice for the desktop, and soon will likely be on your phone. Over the last 5 years, this open community has turned its attention to virtualization.

VMware goes embedded

Enterprise virtualization software giant VMware has launched its first virtualization product aimed at mobile phones. The Linux-compatible Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) is based on technology that VMware acquired last month when it quietly bought French virtualization vendor Trango Virtual Processors.

OS and Virtualization or Virtualization and OS: Red Hat Analyst Day

We each behave according to our nature. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that while a virtualization supplier believes that the operating system is, effectively, a feature, an operating system vendor would argue that the converse is true. The philosophical differences between Red Hat and VMware could not have been more apparent during their respective events - September’s VMworld gathering in Las Vegas and yesterday’s Red Hat analyst day held at the New York Stock Exchange.

VMware Server 2 shows some improvement

In the early days of desktop virtualization, there were few low-priced alternatives to VMware Workstation that didn't involve a steep learning curve. Even the freely available VirtualBox didn't affect Workstation's market domination and instead faced competition from the newly rebranded VMware GSX server, which was offered for free as VMware Server. Despite being an entry-level server virtualization product, many people used VMware Server on the desktop. Taking that into consideration, you have to look at the recently released VMware Server 2, from two angles -- as an entry-level server virtualization platform and as an alternative to desktop virtualization products like VirtualBox. With its performance and other improvements, it does enough to keep existing customers happy, but probably not enough to get others to switch.

Virtualization Journal: In a Major Move VMware Expands into Mobile

VMware, the bruised and bloodied virtualization leader, will announce today that it’s going into the mobile business with a high-end real-time cell phone hypervisor called MVP, short for Mobile Virtualization Platform.

VMware Eyes Smartphones as Next Virtualization Bonanza

Virtualization heavy VMware has set its sights on the mobile world. Having already developed products for virtualizing multiple systems on a single server or personal computer, the company will next look into smartphones. Virtualization on mobile devices could speed up device development, it may help IT staff manage device use, and it might even have implications in mobile security.

Server Virtualization & Power Savings

It's a story that is all-too-familiar across organizations today. Rising electricity costs, shrinking power supplies, and mounting social and economic pressure to be "green" are forcing organizations across the globe to rethink their IT strategies. For an increasing number of organizations, server virtualization has become a significant means to a power-reducing end. In fact, according to recent research from the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), organizations resoundingly think server virtualization will have the single, greatest impact on reducing power consumption in the data center - twice the impact above the development of more energy-efficient physical server technologies.
