Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
A "feature-complete" version of Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization software is now available for testing ahead of the commercial release scheduled for August.
While a beta version of the hypervisor shipped with Windows Server 2008, but the new release is described as "near-final code."
"As customers begin deploying Windows Server 2008, we want to ensure they have the tools to optimize their IT infrastructure. Hyper-V will help customers consolidate IT systems and allow their businesses to respond more rapidly to ever-changing market conditions," said Bill Hilf, general manager of the Windows Server division at Microsoft.
"Virtualization has been too complicated and expensive for most organizations, which is why less than 10 percent of servers are virtualized today. Our goal is to make Hyper-V broadly available, easy to adopt and cost-effective while delivering powerful systems management capabilities for customers’ traditional and virtualized IT environments."
The Hyper-V release candidate has been tested with Windows Server 2003 SP2, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3 as guest operating systems.
Other improvements include English, German and Japanese language options (with more to come in the final release), broader hardware support, better performance and scalability, and the option of running the Hyper-V Manager Microsoft Management Console on Windows Vista SP1.
