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 plans to forge its first major open source alliance in a move to combat the increasingly unassailable dominance of VMware in the virtualization space.
Under the agreement, Microsoft's Longhorn Server virtualization
software will provide support for Linux guest operating systems,
supported in partnership with XenSource. This would be the first time
that Microsoft has provided virtualization support for Linux guest
operating systems running on a Windows host.
In virtualization technology, Microsoft lags considerably behind market
leader VMware, owned by EMC, and up and coming open source player
XenSource. Both VMware and XenSource have hypervisor technology while
Microsoft is not planning to release a hypervisor until at least 2008.
The move to form an alliance with XenSource, which is a Microsoft
competitor, is being widely seen as a stop gap measure for Microsoft to
curb the rising dominance of VMware until Longhorn ships in the distant
future.
