VM6 Extends Internal Cloud Offerings with VMex Enterprise Edition

VM6 Software, a provider of software solutions to extend the benefits of virtualisation to Remote Office and Branch Office locations (ROBO) has released VM6 VMex Enterprise Edition. VM6 says VMex leverages Microsoft Hyper-V to create an internal cloud to provision, consolidate, manage and protect all of the ROBO workloads without the costs and complexity of traditional solutions. Therefore, installation and maintenance requires Microsoft Certified System Engineers specialized personnel. With the single console to manage the entire enterprise, or each site individually, administrators have the ability to easily manage up to 65,000 distributed objects.

VM6 VMex is a solution aimed at providing Virtualisation (Server and Desktop), Shared Storage (Virtual SAN) as well as High Availability (HA) & failover in a single and simple software package. It requires 2 standard x86 servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2008(R). Since everything is integrated into the VM6 VMex solution there is no particular need for external storage (SAN), third party software for replication, High Availability (HA), VDI broker, management and so on. VM6 says VMex is a quick to set-up (15 minutes) and simple to manage, with a very low footprint and dramatically reduced power consumption. VM6 VMex is expected to provide 70% lower TCO over 3 years when compared to alternative approaches. Additionally, VM6 VMex provides a centralized management interface that can be accessed remotely to monitor, alert and orchestrate your distributed virtualised environment.

VMex Features

Features of the new release include:

Scale: VM6 VMex Enterprise Edition includes a telecommunication function to supports an unlimited number of sites. Also, VM6 VMex is meant to enable the local infrastructure to scale up to 32 nodes and supports unlimited Virtual Shared Storage in each site

Embedded VDI: the releas sports embedded virtual desktop infrastructure brokering (VDI) designed specifically for the needs of remote or branch offices, which is meant to remove the dependency on wide area networks, (optimized for low bandwidth and high latency), allows for a portfolio of desktop and virtualized servers, and reduces resource utilization as it doesn’t require expensive shared storage

Enterprise IT Management Console: the release includes monitoring and alerting features including default monitoring and recovery plans. With the intuitive dashboard and centralized event logs, administrators can get a consolidated health assessment of the entire enterprise. VM6 VMex can also be configured so that alerts can trigger external commands or Power Shell scripts

Claude Goudreault, Founder and CEO of VM6 Software said, "With VM6 VMex Enterprise Edition, enterprise IT leaders have a single solution for managing, provisioning, consolidating, and protecting their distributed servers and desktop environment across all of their locations for a fraction of the cost associated with traditional solutions."

Best Practices for Enterprise SOA Deployment Bob Marcus, the leader for SOA and Distributed Virtualization standards at the Network Centric Operation Industry Consortium (NCOIC.org), discusses requirements and best practices for enterprise SOA Deployment, in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008. The session is based on Bob's experience working with large enterprises such as General Motors and Boeing. It also includes recommendations from a Session on 'SOA Deployment: Industry Best Practices' that Bob has organized for several US government agencies.

Designing Reusable Service Interfaces One of the challenges of SOA is the development of services, which are reusable. Such services can participate in several different processes and orchestrations. Experienced architects are aware that designing and implementing reusable services is much harder task than implementing services for single use. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Matjaz B. Juric discusses best practices for designing reusable service interfaces. We will discuss the possibilities provided by WSDL. We will address the versioning issue, which becomes crucial when changing/modifying services in order to make them more reusable.

Doing More With Less In the Downturn - Interview with Embarcadero's Philip Rathle Having affordable access to the right tools at the right time has never been more important, especially with today’s intense scrutiny on budgets and expectations to do more with less. Centered on the theme of recession storming, over fifty top level IT decision makers joined Saltmarch Media and Embarcadero Technologies with the objective of demystifying the changing IT environment and its impact on global business. Watch this full interview with Philip Rathle, Director of Product Management, Embarcadero All Access.

Business Transformation vs. SOA Transformation - Can I do Both? Corporations are transforming their business models in an attempt to increase revenue, operational efficiency and global competition by designing innovative business models and processes to be disruptive in their market space. In this keynote, recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, the Vice President of IBM's Global Solutions and Assets division says business leaders are looking for IT to provide and support the disruptive business models. However, the majority of IT's budget and resources are spent in maintenance leaving little time and resources for IT to be innovative and meet the business demands. In addition, many IT Corporations have adopted SOA in adhoc fashion and achieved some maturity in the technology. The key to aligning the IT objectives with the business objectives is a structured approach. Come hear about new ways to develop the required capabilities and prioritize the initiatives to create a Business and SOA transformation roadmap.

Brian Behlendorf on Open Source, Subversion 1.5, the rise of Globalization and Carbon Offsets Brian Behlendorf, Founder and former CTO of Collabnet, in a free-wheeling interview talks about the concept of an open source company in today's world, the indirect economic value being created by open source projects, the commercial drivers behind open source projects, the intense sharing culture promoted by social networking and collaboration tools, and his green responsibilities and how he carbon offsets his travel. Brian also discusses how application development needs to change to meet the needs of an increasingly globalized world, benefits of a virtualized infrastructure management system, factors that will hinder adoption of Subversion 1.5 and how Subversion stacks up against the competition.

Software + Services: Fundamental Shifts in Platform Computing We are at the cusp of a big industry change. The way software is delivered and monetized is undergoing a fundamental shift. The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.
