VMWare Deployment Considerations
Thursday, 30 March 2006
(Read my VMWare Server Review)
I’m not affliated with VMWare in any way. If you haven’t signed up for the VMWare e-mail newsletters, go do it now. It’s not spammy, and has plenty of meaty technical material.
The latest e-mail points to the VMWorld 2005 Conference Sessions. There are free audio downloads for you to listen on your MP3 player. Hint to VMWorld: Make a RSS Feed for the sessions.
If you think that CPU virtualization (AMD Pacifica and Intel Vanderpool Technology) will kill VMWare’s business, think again. The bar to virtualization is going to be lowered and will allow customers to focus on high availability, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, SOX), and clustering. Link
I’m listening to the one on Security Best Practices for VMWare. You should start at 8 minutes mark, because before that it’s general administration for the conference. Interesting: the virtual machine is locked from spoofing virtual MAC addresses, and is unable to sniff traffic from other virtual machines running off the same network card.
