SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1: Virtualization Technology Support

Tags:
linux - open source

Overview SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 provides integrated Xen-based virtualization, which can be used to provision, de-provision, install, monitor and manage multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical system. Out of the box, it can create VMs running both modified, highly tuned, paravirtualized operating systems and unmodified operating systems. Xen serves as the hypervisor, or VM monitor. It is a layer of software that runs directly on the server hardware and controls platform resources, sharing them among multiple VMs and their operating systems by presenting virtualized hardware interfaces to each VM.

Ubuntu strips off for virtualisation

Virtualisation lets operating systems and higher-level software run in compartments called virtual machines (VMs), and those VMs can be stopped, started, saved to disk and moved from one computer to another.

VMware shows off next-gen virtualisation

One audience member who was keen on the Storage VMotion was Kyle Meyer, a senior systems engineer at Johnson Controls, which has 350 to 400 VMware-powered virtual machines out of a collection of 2,300 total servers.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
