'Viridian' Beta Delayed. Is Longhorn Next?
by Alex Woodie

Work on "Viridian," the codename for the hypervisor virtualization technology that Microsoft is developing for Windows Server "Longhorn," is going slower than expected. As a result, Microsoft says the first public beta of Viridian, which had been scheduled for release by the end of June, will now be delayed to the second half of the year. Despite the importance that Viridian poses to Longhorn, Microsoft says the delay won't have any impact on the current schedule to ship Longhorn by the end of the year, but questions remain.

by Alex Woodie

Internet security watchers are girding for a major round of attacks on Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 systems following Microsoft's disclosure last week of a newly discovered DNS flaw in the operating systems.

Dell, IBM Push Power-Saving Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Server makers Dell and IBM are looking to use the power efficiency of their respective PowerEdge and System x X64-based server lines as a means of stealing business from each other and their competitors. Dell has even gone so far as to carve out a specific energy efficient server line, dubbed Energy Smart, from its general purpose machines. IBM seems content to offer power saving options on its System x machines as well as building features for controlling power use into every machine. READ MORE >


Marathon Makes Virtualization Fault Tolerant with v-Available
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Server virtualization hypervisors may not be used on every server today, but the technology is in the process of going mainstream on X64 servers after being on mainframe, proprietary midrange, and RISC/Unix servers for a number of years. And now, thanks to a partnership between fault tolerant server maker Marathon Technologies and XenSource, the commercial entity behind the open source Xen hypervisor for servers, it will be coming to servers equipped with Marathon's fault tolerant everRun software for X64 gear running Windows.READ MORE >
