As I’m sure most of you are aware by now… VMware has finally released vSphere 4, the first cloud operating system.
From VMware’s site:
VMware vSphere delivers the cloud OS through the following essential components:
- Application Services provide built-in controls over service levels to all applications running on the cloud OS, regardless of application type or operating system.
- Infrastructure Services virtualize server, storage and network resources, and aggregate and allocate them on demand to applications, based on business priority.
This is HUGE news! VMware is really taking the industry several leaps forward with this product. It increases flexibility of IT infrastructures with compromised control over physical and virtual servers all over the datacenter. Cloud computing is finally done right!
