April 24, 2012 11:00 AM
Virtualization is still gaining steam in data center, and it is moving to the desktop, as well. However, many IT managers are finding that they have to tiptoe around licensing issues and deal with vendors independently to secure the best deal and not break the law.Verizon, Partners Push OpenFlow, SDN

Large enterprises that have moved toward a virtualized network infrastructure are now beginning to look at adopting private clouds, a trend that is moving from hype to actual deployments this year, says Tom Bittman, a VP and analyst with Gartner Research.vMotions a Killer App for 10GbE at Vonage
April 13, 2012 09:00 AM
Every year since the first Global 2000 company installed VMware, server virtualization has been at the core of more and more data center architectures. Vonage is one major corporation that is now making the leap, and its architects shared with me how 10 Gigabit Ethernet is playing a key role in how the organization handles vMotions.EMC Unveils More Flexible IT Bundling
April 12, 2012 09:00 AM
These days, companies basically have two options for bringing new information technology into their data centers. They can acquire all the servers, storage, networking and software from different vendors, try to put it all together and make it work, or they can buy one big appliance that’s simpler to set up but is of a fixed configuration. EMC is offering a third option that combines the best attributes of the previous options, which it calls VSPEX.SNW Trots Out 'Cool' Storage Tech
April 09, 2012 09:00 AM
The Storage Networking World I attended in Dallas last week was a substantially different event than SNWs of old. In the past, SNW was the event where storage vendors socialized with each other, mixing business and pleasure over drinks and the pre-conference golf outing. This SNW seemed to have a lot more end users there for the education sessions and hands-on labs.Virtualization: Microsoft Picks Up Momentum, VMware Lags, Citrix Stumbles

April 05, 2012 09:00 AM
On the whole, server virtualization has been a blessing due to physical machine to logical machine consolidation that leads to better system and CPU utilization and attendant improved IT cost economics. But servers are only part of broader interlocked “systems” of hardware components (including networks and storage) and software (including operating systems and applications) that must work in harmony together. And any change in one component (in this case, servers) may cause complications or problems (such as performance and capacity utilization) with another component (in this case, storage). This is yet another instance of the law of unintended consequences. However, Virsto’s chosen role is to repeal that instance of the law through the use of its storage hypervisor.Citrix Gives CloudStack To The Apache Software Foundation
April 03, 2012 09:05 AM
Less than a year after acquiring Cloud.com, Citrix is sending CloudStack, the open-source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines as a highly available, scalable cloud computing platform, to the Apache Software Foundation Incubation program, joining such as OpenOffice and Wave, which was spun out from Google. Citrix will continue to sell and support a commercial CloudStack offering, and there is no change in pricing or support. Last year's cloud announcement, Project Olympus, the company's commercial implementation of OpenStack, is at an end. This marks another twisting turn in Citrix' path in cloud software.Wyse Can Add Up to $2.5B to Dell Revenues
