Not an entirely unimportant release! This allows you to put computing, storage and network resources into a dynamic pool and deliver infrastructure as a service. Think of it as your own private cloud in your own computer facility. Integration with the public cloud (Microsoft Azure) and public partner clouds (like Nobel Cloud Services) will be [...]

Virtual Machine Manager vNext
During the MMS2010 keynote of Bob Muglia, Edwin Yuen showed a glimpse of SCVMM vNext. The short demo presented a very interesting view ahead of what a complete virtual management solution looks like.
Next to the familiar categories like Hosts, Virtual Machines, Library, Jobs and Administration a few new categories were visible: Datacenter, Network and Storage. [...]

VMware is targeting MS for not using Hyper-V for their virtualization platform. Well in fact they are not using Hyper-V current version but Hyper-V vnext (possibly even vnext R2) version. Hyper-V R2 already benefited from the experiences with Azure Hypervisor and the upcoming Hyper-V or even the next service pack will benefit in an identical [...]

The server container is the new form factor
The new form factor is no longer the blade enclosure or the rack, but rather a complete container stuffed with servers, storage and network infrastructure. In some containers you’ll recognize traditional Dell servers and HP blade servers in others.
The amount of processing power and vast amounts of memory is absolutely amazing. In fact it [...]
Moving a Hyper-V virtual machine to Azure
Although not fully embracing the capability and scalability of the cloud, Ray Ozzie, chief software architect from Microsoft, talked about the ability to move a virtual machine to the cloud. I heard about it on Twitter and went on to look for the source. Apparently it was talked about during the PDC which is held [...]
