At WMworld 2007, VMware’s annual user conference, held earlier this month in San Francisco, you could find VMware rival XenSource tucked away in a booth in the furthest corner of the trade show floor.
A new version of the XenSource virtualisation hypervisor, released on Monday, now works on servers running the Windows 2000 operating system from Microsoft.
Organisations preparing to move to virtual environments will find broader options in 2007 as competitors to market leader VMware emerge with enhanced, enterprise-ready offerings.
