What's Hot about VMWare version 4

April 27, 2009

Analysis by:Howard Bergman, Vice President,

VMware unveils its cloud OS; Wants to be a bridge for the enterprise | blogs.zdnet.com

The best new feature of VMware v4.0 (dubbed vShphere) is the inclusion of "FT" - Fault Tolerance.  Essentially, if a primary server fails, the 2nd "Shadow" server will seamlessly assume the role of the primary server.  This means - zero - downtime. There are certain caveats, such as shared storage is required and a high speed link between the 2 servers is assumed, but IF you need true fault tolerance, this is a great idea.

Why can SaaS revenue rise in a down economy?

In a down economy, SaaS revenues rise | www.computerworld.com

SaaS represents "hard" cost savings to most businesses.  This is particularly true in small to medium organizations where IT management/spending conflicts with the ability to focus on primary business operations.

Where is IT spending heading in 2009

December 8, 2008

Analysis by:Howard Bergman, Vice President,

How much data centers really cost | www.networkworld.com

What technology will businesses purchase in 2009?   Most people and firms are concerned about technology spending slowdowns based on current macroeconimic trends. Surveys and comments all suggest a slowdown at best, or a major stop at worst.  So if businesses will invest next year, the ROI (return on investment) MUST be faster and more assured than ever.

Microsoft Virtualization Products Due In Thirty Days | www.informationweek.com

If you have ever worked with Microsoft’s Virtualization you will then know there is a reason it is free. It does not work very well. VMWare is so far in front of them that it’s not even funny. As long as MS keeps their virtualization technology dependent on their OS I will be skeptical from the get go. Give me a virtualization product that will run on a low over head kernel such as Linux, with out a full blown OS, well I’ll choose that product over MS any day, So will the enterprise customer, so far. I really don’t see MS changing anything anytime soon in the virtualization arena. We are still seeing huge investments into VMWare, but the ROI is well worth it.
