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.
The multiprocessor support applies to Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP guests. Other improvements affecting Windows guests include better network performance, the ability to suspend/resume virtual machines, support for up to 8G of RAM per guest, and signed drivers with WHQL certification.
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.
