XenEnterprise is a virtualization platform for multiple guest operating systems (Windows and Linux) that:
• Supports both paravirtualized and fully virtualized guests
• Uses Intel VT or AMD-V hardware virtualization assist available on all Dell 9th generation servers to run Windows and other unmodified guests
• Delivers fast paravirtualized I/O for all guests
• Enables Windows guests with support from Microsoft for their Premier Support customers
PHD Virtual Monitor 10.0.1 – a new update of the product from PHD Virtual. This product is compatible not only with VMware vSphere, but also with Citrix XenServer. The product can monitor not only the physical hypervisors and their respective VMs, but also the surrounding physical infrastructure (servers, switches, routers…). The application monitoring is also possible where you can get deep look at your applications (running inside of VMs or on physical servers) requires the agent deployment in each VM or physical server.
vReplicator is the recognized host-level software-based replication solution for VMware infrastructure. vReplicator enables companies to leverage virtualization to support High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies.
vOptimizer Pro 2.1 is a new tool from virtualisation specialist Vizioncore that automatically manages the hard disks used by virtual machines (VMs) hosted by VMware ESX Server. The suite does not work with VMs hosted on the embedded VMware ESXi, although support may be added in a future version (see VMware’s web site for an explanation of the differences between ESX and ESXi). Currently, vOptimizer Pro, which costs $299 (~£202) per processor socket, works only with VMs running Windows 2000 or later, although support for Linux VMs may be added later this year.
VMware View Clients for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Linux, iOS, and Android allow you to connect to your VMware View virtual desktop from your device of choice giving you on-the-go access from any location.
StarWind Native SAN for Hyper-V is a storage hypervisor that builds a reliable, fast, and easy-to-manage shared storage in the existing infrastructure, which makes this solution affordable for the small and medium-sized businesses.
StarWind found a spectacular way to save your money! We designed the revolutionary SAN configuration where the storage software is installed directly on the hypervisor servers.
Depending on the reliability level and uptime requirements, two or three existing Hyper-V servers are needed for the creation of a highly available storage cluster. Therefore, this configuration requires only half of the expected hardware (servers, switches, network cards, cabling) and provides tremendous cost savings.
VMware Horizon Mirage provides single image management for desktop images, including the operating system, user data and user-installed applications. The tool isolates different layers of the desktop environment, allowing administrators to update specific layers without affecting others. Synchronization technology in Mirage ensures that every change a user makes to his desktop is backed up to a centralized Mirage server.
