Virtual pc, virtual machine and multiple operating system solutions by Parallels, Inc. Guest OS Install Guide: Update: Support for guest OS paravirtualization using VMware VMI to be retired from new products in 2010-2011. VMware has begun the phased retirement of support for guest OS kernel-based paravirtualization using VMware’s Virtual Machine Interface (VMI) technology.
We have decided to retire support for VMI in 2010-2011 as a result of innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and AMD which have surpassed the performance improvements provided by VMI. As these CPU innovations are expected to become ubiquitous in the next 2-3 years, VMware has begun a phased retirement of the VMI functionality. This announcement is not applicable to device-based paravirtualization technologies provided by VMware which will continue to provide significant customer benefits for years to come.
VMTN Discussion Forums: Static MACs not working. Storage Basics – Part I: An Introduction. I am increasingly finding that both my SMB and Enterprise customers are uneducated on the fundamentals of storage sizing and performance.
As a result, storage is often overlooked as a performance bottleneck despite it being a vital component to consider in a virtualization implementation. Storage will only increase in importance as hosts are getting bigger, data volumes increase, and more workloads are virtualized. For some reason, most people can grasp the importance of CPU and memory performance constraints but storage performance is often overlooked and can be hard to explain to business users or executives. Case in point – I have recently been called into some environments that were not performing well – these environments happened to be running Microsoft SQL, but could just have well been running any application or collection of virtual machines. 1.) 2.)

Securing networks in VMWare. Contributed Article from Hezi Moore, co-founder and CTO of Reflex Security While new technologies can provide significant improvements to IT operations, organizations must also consider potential network and data security implications.
Increasingly, server virtualization technologies are being used to consolidate physical servers and help organizations address data center management, operational and security challenges. Virtualization provides IT departments with a great deal of deployment, configuration and performance flexibility and is emerging as one of today’s most compelling new technologies. However, virtualized environments face unique network security challenges that can affect the entire organization. Software Virtualization. What is Endpoint Management?

BixData is a system, application, and network monitoring tool which allows you to easily monitor nearly every aspect of your servers.
The newly released version 2.6 is the only application that has the ability to control both Xen and VMWare virtual machines. You can control both VM Hosts (the computer that's running the VM software) and VM Guests (the virtual machines running on the hosts). Installation The first thing we need to do is install the BixServer onto one of our boxes. I'll be installing this on a Linux box but I could have easily put it on an OS X, FreeBSD or Windows machine. Wget tar -zxvf BixServer-2.6-linux-1-DB.tar.gz cd bixdata nohup . Now I'll install BixAgent on two boxes, one is running Xen and the other VMWare.
