Virtualization, the new battleground?
Posted on December 19, 2006 • 1 min read • 114 wordsHistory is repeating itself…
Through the collaboration between Microsoft and Novell, Microsoft now has access to a Linux distribution that includes virtualization software.
Microsoft is going to support SuSe Linux within their Virtual Server software. In addition, Microsoft is going to build drivers and tools that ensure Windows Server runs optimally in Xen, the Open Source virtualization platform.
The collaboration does not stop at virtualization. Steps will also be taken to exchange information between Active Directory and eDirectory.
This time, I will try to stay neutral. I would recommend everyone to go check out the article on the Microsoft site and the presentation(s) themselves and then form an opinion.
