Track:Deploying Virtualization in the Enterprise
Virtualization radically changed how organizations deploy hardware, operating systems and software. Although virtualization dramatically improved the way these tasks are done, an important problem still
subsists: application configuration and assembly for VMs is still largely a manual task. The VIRTU system aims at configuring and managing application stacks on a virtualized environments. It allows setting up applications on demand, creating virtual machines fully configured with application stacks. VIRTU targets mainly the use cases of testing and developing applications in complex distributed environments. At test at the European Space Agency, VIRTU is being released under a dual-licensing model, known as Quid-Pro-Quo.

SYS-CON's International Virtualization Conference & Expo series, now in its third year, is the leading event covering the booming market of Virtualization for the enterprise. This industry-leading event now comes to Europe, and Virtualization Conference Europe 2009 will be co-located in Prague with our Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009. This combined event will surely deliver the #1 i-technology educational and networking opportunity of the year for leading Virtualization technology providers.
Virtualization Journal seeks to demystify virtualization and help IT professionals and Data Center Managers to understand fully the benefits of virtualization and to help remove the confusion and provide assistance in comprehending the similarities, differences and how they?re related as well understand more fully the functionality, benefits and challenges of each approach.
In other words, VMware’s server density is higher. Boles suggests this means that customers should be “assessing virtualisation on a ‘cost per application’ basis. VM density has a sign
Traditionally, the way people have implemented high availability is by using a high-availability management package like Linux-HA[1], then configure it in detail for each application, file system moun
