Microsoft Working on New Virtualization Technologies for Longhorn
by Alex Woodie
Microsoft gave more credence to its insistence that Longhorn will be more than just another service pack at the WinHEC 2005 conference Monday when officials detailed new virtualization technologies that the company is working on for the next version of Windows. When Longhorn Server ships in 2007, it could sport a new hypervisor layer, dynamic hardware partitioning software, co-processors used to manage partitions, and other high-end features designed to decrease downtime.

Getting from here to there, reliably
From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.

With AMD coming ahead of Intel with dual-core server chips, AMD's partners are keen to use the edge that this gives their products.

VMware Sales Double As It Plots Future Virtualization
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The VMware subsidiary of disk array maker EMC doesn't have to break out its financial information separately from its parent company, but because it is growing revenues at a triple-digit rate--which is a nice thing to be able to brag about--and because the company wants to justify the $625 million it spent to acquire the company in December 2003, EMC talks about how VMware, which creates workstation and server virtualization software, is doing each quarter.
