Judging purely by all my Hyper-V posts as of late, you might think I was anti-VMware.\u00a0 Far from it.\u00a0 I reckon they have a great product.\u00a0 It’s not perfect.\u00a0 In my opinion, they need to start playing nice with others and provide better end-end management of their enterprise solution from centralised management solutions.\u00a0 I’m not just talking about placement of VM’s (Virtual Center); I’m talking about health of hardware, health of VM’s, hypervisor performance, etc.\u00a0 On that they could take a page from Citrix, e.g. Presentation Server.\u00a0 Pricing is something else they need to reconsider too, e.g.pay less for the product and maybe make the profits from the support or management services.\n<\/p>\n
Now I’ve just read something rather interesting on Bink<\/a>.\u00a0 Some regional director is spouting that the days of the operating system will be over in 5-10 years<\/a>.\u00a0 Oka-ay then.\u00a0 I for one, am not throwing my OS books into a fire in the back garden tonight.\u00a0 Is this really<\/em> how VMware are thinking?\u00a0 Is this how they think they will survive the serious entry of Microsoft\/Citrix into the enterprise hypervisor world?\u00a0 This is not good; not good at all.\n<\/p>\n Is industry moving to the hypervisor?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 But not all machines are candidates for virtualisation.\u00a0 I certainly don’t see the virtual appliance replacing the operating system.\u00a0 Is the operating system changing?\u00a0 Definitely.\u00a0 Windows Server 2008 already features component based installation.\u00a0 You can get an even smaller footprint using a Core installation.\u00a0 And Core isn’t so scary as I found out for myself<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Credit these comments to the kook bank and don’t expect to see this looneytune making a big splash in the future.\n<\/p>\n Credit: Bink<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Judging purely by all my Hyper-V posts as of late, you might think I was anti-VMware.\u00a0 Far from it.\u00a0 I reckon they have a great product.\u00a0 It’s not perfect.\u00a0 In my opinion, they need to start playing nice with others and provide better end-end management of their enterprise solution from centralised management solutions.\u00a0 I’m not … Continue reading “Are VMware Bonkers?”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
