ProxMox: The high-performance virtualization server for the rest of us: What sounds like a cross between a Ferengi mating practice and an OREO cookie clone, but is actually the latest and greatest in Open Source turnkey virtualization servers? It's the ProxMox Virtual Environment, a new open source project that has been flying under the hypervisor radar, but may pose a...; Tags: High-performance, OpenVZ, Server, VMware Inc., Virtual Machine, VM, ProxMox VE, Virtual Machine Setup, Virtualization, Linux, Cloud Computing, Storage Management, Utility Computing, Open Source, Operating Systems, Hardware, Software, Storage, Jason Perlow; Blog posts 2008-06-24
The virtues of virtualization: The virtues of virtualizationAn OS with virtue doesn't need virtualization...OS virtualization is an expensive proposition, with significant overhead unless you make the hosted systems less like separate operating systems and more like cooperating multitasking applications. Better is to have an operating system that's designed from the start to run many...; Tags: Storage management, Utility computing, Operating systems, OpenVZ, OS Virtualization, virtualization, Microsoft Windows; Discussion threads 2006-12-07
