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.
Microsoft intends to have a beta version of a new hypervisor virtualization system before the end of the year in an attempt to bridge the gap between itself and the field in both proprietary and open source markets on the Intel platform. The new hypervisor technology will enable system administrators to run multiple operating systems in virtual machines on a single server.
Windows and Linux based systems already have access to an open source
hypervisor virtualization project called Xen, while EMC company VMWare
also offers free hypervisor virtualization products for both Windows
and Linux based systems. Microsoft has a virtualization product for
Windows it released last year called Virtual Server 2005. However, it
is a Windows centric product, with some recently added support for
running a few Linux distributions.
Although it is being rushed to market, the new hypervisor technology,
code-named Viridian, is not expected to be available until early 2008,
about six months after the anticipated release of the Longhorn server
product.
Microsoft has also announced its intent to acquire Softricity Inc.
Softricity offers the SoftGrid Desktop Virtualization Platform, which
turns almost all Windows applications into a service using application
virtualization and streaming software technologies.
Softricity technology provides customers with application
virtualization solutions that are expected to allow Windows customers
the ability to reduce the TCO of desktop deployments. Applications are
installed and managed centrally and then delivered directly to the
user’s desktop in a contained, virtualized image that does not
interfere with or require interaction with the operating system itself
and other applications present on the desktop.
