Virtual Server 2005 SP1 베타가 나왔습니다.
SP1 버전도 x64 환경을 지원하는 것을 포함한다고 하는데... 그렇다면 Virtual Server 2005 for x64는 왜 개발했는지 의문이 듭니다.
x64 버전이 ... 제 구실을 하려면 실제 Guest OS를 위한 VM 환경을 x64로 에뮬레이션해줘야 할 텐데.
어디 한번 설치해 보고... ^^ Virtual Server 2005 for x64가 안정적인지, SP1이 안정적인지 테스트해봐야 겠습니다. 다음은 microsoft.public.virtualserver 뉴스 그룹에 "Richard Cardona"란 분이 포스팅한 내용입니다.
Virtualization for Improved Flexibility and Utilization of Hardware
Environments
Virtualization allows customers to make more efficient use of hardware
resources and reduce IT infrastructure costs. In his keynote speech,
Ballmer announced Microsoft's increased investment in both
virtualization and virtualization management technology, demonstrating
near-term product improvements and laying out a long-term strategy for
both areas.
In the short term, Microsoft is responding to customers' needs by
improving the performance and interoperability of Virtual Server 2005
and improving manageability through integration with Microsoft(R)
Operations Manager (MOM) 2005:
-- The Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1) beta version is
available today, delivering 64-bit compatibility and improved
performance and availability. Virtual Server 2005 SP1 will enable
support for Windows Server(TM) 2003 x64 editions as host operating
systems and, along with performance improvements in the virtual machine
software, will enable customers to further increase the efficiency of
their hardware environments. Virtual Server 2005 SP1 beta is available
at
https://beta.microsoft.com/. The final version is scheduled to be
available by the end of the year. -- Microsoft is working with industry
partners to expand the support of third-party guest operating systems
running on Virtual Server 2005 SP1. This expanded support is designed to
make Windows Server 2003 and Virtual Server 2005 a powerful platform for
heterogeneous server consolidation. -- A new MOM 2005 management pack
for Virtual Server 2005 provides administrators with a central console
for managing the health and performance of both physical and virtual
machines seamlessly, allowing customers to leverage their existing
server management tools to manage their virtual environments. --
Microsoft will license royalty-free the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) to make
it easier for partners to develop VHD-based solutions and continue to
enhance the capabilities and extensibility of the VHD file format. A
common file format helps improve security, reliability and
cost-efficiency for customers. Microsoft is committed to enhancing and
extending the capabilities of this format over time.
In addition to these near-term product deliverables, Microsoft is
working with the industry and increasing its investments to provide
customers with more robust virtualization and virtualization management
solutions for the Windows(R) platform:
-- Microsoft will build virtualization capabilities into the Windows
platform based on Windows hypervisor technology, planned for
availability in the next product wave of the Windows operating system,
code-named Windows "Longhorn." This integrated hypervisor technology in
the Windows operating system will be designed to provide customers with
a high-performance virtualization solution for Windows and heterogeneous
environments. -- Microsoft Windows hypervisor technology will support
enhanced hardware technologies, such as Intel Virtualization Technology
and AMD's Pacifica specification. The combination of these software and
hardware technologies will open the door to widespread use of computer
virtualization in the future. -- Increased investments in Microsoft's
System Center family of products will result in management products that
are optimized to take advantage of the unique capabilities that
virtualization brings to the Windows platform.
"Gartner sees the integration of virtualization technology with the
operating system as a natural evolutionary step for the x86 platform,"
said Thomas Bittman, research vice president and distinguished analyst
at Gartner Inc. "The broader adoption of virtualization that is spurred
by this integration will make management even more important as
customers strive to exploit this technology and further improve the
utilization and flexibility of their hardware environments."
"Intel is excited to be working with Microsoft on the foundation of a
more dynamic and manageable computing environment, one that maximizes
our companies' hardware and software virtualization expertise," said
Abhi Y. Talwalkar, vice president and general manager of the Digital
Enterprise Group at Intel Corporation. "Microsoft's virtualization
technologies, in conjunction with Intel Virtualization Technology, will
help deliver virtualization solutions that increase the security,
manageability and flexibility of both server and client infrastructures."
