If you haven&#8217;t upgraded to VMware vSphere 4 by now, you should consider it and rethink your strategy. VMware has removed all but the most recent versions of their Virtual Infrastructure product binaries from their download page on June 17th. As of May 2010, the following Virtual infrastructure products have all reached end of general [...]]]></description>

When we are selling, designing and/or building a virtual infrastructure, we brag about consolidation ratios we can accomplish.
But what&#8217;s a consolidation ratio of 8 to 1 or 10 to 1? In this case a picture says more than a thousand words &#8230;&#8230;..

On the right a part of the servers we collected during a recent VMware [...]]]></description>

Last week I had another nice discussion around the 90 day assignment rule for Windows Server licensing on a VMware environment.  To answer this shortly: You may move running instances between licensed servers without acquiring additional licenses. However you cannot exceed the maximum number of instances each server is licensed to run.

Project Virtual Reality Check finally posted a new document about previous results and possible clock drift when using the &#8220;Login Virtual Session Indexer (VSI)&#8221;.  Previous test setups and results didn&#8217;t take into account how different hypervisors handle passing time.
In my opinion this is a serious setback to Project VRC which is considered an institute in [...]]]></description>

To get a new project funded is often hard work. You have to calculate how much it costs to build your virtual infrastructure and how fast you can save money so you can justify the investment. Even after you started the project and you are building the infrastructure you still have to keep an eye [...]]]></description>

After some hard pushing and nudging with Oracle sales the last couple of months I almost became a Oracle licensing guru. Not what I had in mind and was aiming for to be honest. While completing some business cases about virtualization for several customers, Oracle products became a hot issue again.

The world of licenses and subscription models is a complex whole, by adding a virtual component it even got more complex. Virtual machines aren’t bound to one physical server and can move freely across several physical servers or even in and out of a cloud. Fortunately more and more software vendors are changing their license [...]]]></description>

Can the application be virtualized? or in other words does the application run without problems in a VMware environment?
