5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Other changes include support for a wider range of guest operating systems - Windows 2000, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 have been added to the roster. iSCSI SAN support, VLAN trunk support for virtual bridges, and control over CPU, disk and network resource allocations have also been added to XenEnterprise 3.2. XenSource claims the additional drivers shipped with XenEnterprise make it "the virtualization platform with the broadest possible hardware support." The next version of XenEnterprise is only a few months away, and will support 64-bit CPUs and live migration - the ability to move virtual machines between physical machines without having to stop and restart the applications or operating system. This is a key feature for maintaining high levels of availability and efficiently meeting service level agreements that dictate application performance. XenSource's primary competitor is VMware, but Microsoft is expected to enter the market next year.{moscomment} |
