Microsoft's Hyper-V Competes with EMC's VMware
For quite some time now, VMware, now a part or EMC has been the leader in virtualization technology.
VMware and its virtualization technology allows muliple software systems, each of which used to require a separate hardware box, to be run on a single
server.
This ability to leverage one server's resources was accomplished by virtualizing the hardware and its settings so that one server could act like multiple
different servers each with its own settings, software and interfaces.
Having experienced a fair amount of success, as of the beginning of this year, EMC and VMware has competition from Microsoft and its Beta release of its
Hyper-V(TM) initiative.
Towards that end, Hyper-V(TM) is available in Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta. So just what is Microsoft's Hyper-V?
Hyper-V is an infrastructure with an administrative toolset empowering users to successfully manage and maintain virtualized servers.
According to Microsoft, Hyper-V's key benefits are: its ability to reduce the costs of operating and maintaining physical servers by increasing your hardware
utilization, its ability to increase development and test efficiency by reducing the amount of time it takes to set up hardware and software and reproduce
test environments, its ability to improve server availability without using as many physical computers as you would need in a failover configuration that
uses only physical computers and its ability to increase or reduce server resources in response to changes in demand.
It appears likely that as Hyper-V matures and becomes a true release, its ability to be integrated into the Microsoft infrastructure will give Hyper-V
distinct advantages.
FaceBook Integration
FaceBook, the well known social networking web site is more than just a place to meet individuals on the web these days. FaceBook has gone corporate! In fact, more and more businesses are utilizing FaceBook for industrial purposes.
You see, FaceBook has an application programmable interface which allows seamless integration with other web applications and web sites. FaceBook can be utilized, among other purposes, to store contact information.
Towards that end, the FaceBook web site is being utilized as a Contact Relational Management system of sorts. In do doing, CIOs are offloading their system and disk management to FaceBook. These system and disk management services, now supported by FaceBook would otherwise need to be managed in house.
In fact, by using FaceBook, companies are creating a sub-networks of FaceBook, for the web site's end users.
What is more, for Database operations, such as Extract, Transform and Load, each record can easily be inserted into FaceBook, along with any other default data, after that particular record has been inserted into the primary database.
Yet another beneficial aspect of utilizing FaceBook as a contact manager is that FaceBook has instant brand-name recognition. In addition, its ease of use makes FaceBook's configuration an easy-to-implement integration point.
Talk to NPM today about integrating FaceBook into your business.
