VMware wants a bigger role in your data center VMware is still the top player in the hypervisor market, but the coming year will see the company move far beyond its original focus of virtualizing x86 servers. Key to its success is Virtual Datacenter Operating System (VDC-OS), a forthcoming software platform that will aggregate virtualized servers, storage and network resources into one big computing pool that allocates resources to users and applications.
A primer on cloudbursting The term "cloudbursting" was coined by Amazon Web Services evangelist Jeff Barr to describe the use of cloud computing to deal with overflow requests, such as those that occur during seasonal rushes to online retail sites. Rather than invest in additional hardware, software and personnel to scale and manage the myriad pieces of infrastructure necessary to increase capacity for Web applications, cloudbursting enables you to take advantage of the cloud to increase capacity on an on-demand basis.
Scottrade turns up the heat, saves energy Temperatures are rising in online brokerage Scottrade Inc.'s data center -- and that's a good thing. The move has allowed the St. Louis-based company to reap enormous energy savings while increasing reliability.
A slick solution for data center virtualization In a typical data center, it’s common to provision more servers and storage devices than are needed in order to handle forecasted peak workloads as well as high availability and disaster recovery needs. This results in vast underutilization of expensive resources. In fact, server utilization rates are often less than 25%, which is why server virtualization has caught on like wildfire in the past few years.
Economic trouble driving green IT initiatives The slowing economy is causing many companies to ramp up the speed of green IT initiatives, while a much smaller number of companies have decided to slow down green activities.

9 myths of Microsoft's virtualization busted or confirmed Virtualization is as critical a technology for Microsoft as its operating systems. But an awful lot of fiction circulates about virtualization and Microsoft's role in the market, including Microsoft's true market share, its enmity with Red Hat, and the costs of virtualizing desktops. For these reasons, Microsoft Subnet invited Mike Neil (pictured left), general manager of Microsoft virtualization, to be a guest for a "10 questions for" interview.
Podcast:Desktop virtualization key to reduced power consumption By moving to a virtualized desktop client, IT shops can ditch power-hungry 300 watt desktops in favor of juice-sipping 75w thin clients. That switch has a number of backend benefits as well, says Nemertes' Andreas Antonopoulos, who sees big things for desktop virtualization in 2009. (9:50)
The long and bumpy road to Brocade/Foundry Cisco Subnet blogger Brad Reese writes: The most successful rock and roll instrumentalist of all time - Duane Eddy, had a 1959 top ten hit song titled - Forty Miles Of Bad Road (a genuine personal favorite of mine which peaked at #9), and today it could very well be the "theme song" for the long and rough road to the finish line that has become "di rigeur" for the Brocade - Foundry merger.

Is your organization looking to achieve higher utilization and lower hardware costs through server virtualization and consolidation?
