Desktop virtualization had become the hot topic in town. Many of us had adopted server virtualization for years and now had be the right time to seriously consider desktop virtualization with the latest release from VMware View with PCoIP. As part of the deal in VMware View, they bundle together with VMware Thinapp to enable application virtualization in VMware View Premier. You can also purchase VMWare Thinapp without VMware View.

I just got the confirmation from the Cisco representative as the Nexus 1000V will be bundle on the Cisco UCS as FOC if the customers who deploy the virtualization VMware vSphere 4 with Cisco UCS platform. It will definitely be helpful and encourage more users to be adopted on nexus 1000V implementation in the Virtual Infrastructure when the VMware vSphere 4 are deploying on Cisco UCS platform. If you are running the VMware vSphere 4 with others server vendor, the Nexus 1000V will be an extra features with additional cost.
Microsoft had included the virtual PC with backward compatible of Windows XP to support the users who may had difficult to run their application on Windows 7. This is free and we can see more user will sure include this as part of the Windows 7 installation move forward. Bear in mind, if you have VMware Workstation running on the same machine, you may see the conflict happen if you have your Virtual PC application running and you try to start up a virtual machine from VMware Workstation. There will be a message prompt to inform you that there are existing hypervisor utilize the virtualization capabilities on your machine. The only way to get your VM start up is to end the session of your Virtual PC application. You should able to start your virtual machine up. Not very sure whether there are any workaround beside this, but at this moment, it consider a conflict and we need to choose either 1 to be run at a time.
With my last 3 years of experience, I had seen numbers of companies require significant expansion in the data center to support the business growth, just because of the additional 200 to 2000 servers or storage shelves they need to put in to the data center. With the technology today, it does help us to reduce the space we need to slot in the servers, and storage thanks to the success of virtualization and higher capacity disk drives in the market. To run a full solution of data center with less number of server racks for SME and enterprise, will no longer be a dream due to some facts below,
- Higher consolidation ratio in virtualization with the latest CPU, memory and servers performance
- Higher capacity disk drive which significant reduce the number of storage expansion require
- Virtual I/O which allow the higher utilization of the available bandwidth in data center
- UCS to provide consolidation and higher capacity of bandwidth to support network and storage utilization in the data center
