VMworld News

VMworld hasn’t officially started yet for the masses, but there are numerous internal partner and VMware  events and discussions going on.  This is building up to be a landmark event for the virtualization community, which is no surprise.  Aside from VMware, many 3rd party vendors both hardware and software have major announcements that will be surfacing this week. 

A couple of items that are gaining steam and will flood communication lines the next few days:

• Cloud Computing and How VMware is Addressing – VDC OS (Scott Lowe’s Blog does excellent job defining this – http://blog.scottlowe.org/2008/09/15/follow-up-on-the-vdc-os-announcement/
• Updated Core Products – ESX 4.0 Beta, VDI 3.x and more
• Improved Enterprise Desktop to include Application Virtualization via ThinApp
• Community Best Practice Collateral :  http://viops.vmware.com/home/index.jspa

 Public announcements will be more detailed starting Tuesday morning after the keynote by Paul Maritz.  This entry will be updated to reflect the news once public.
