Interesting Article on New Server 2008 Features
Posted by on February 5, 2008
Useful Post on betanews from last year on details of new kernel level features in Windows Server 2008 as presented by Mark Russinovitch at WinHEC in May 2007
I like this excerpt from Mark’s keynote presentation… lol 🙂
“This slide…this being a keynote, the marketing people had to make a pass through the deck. And this thing is technical, which is a little bit different from what they’re used to, they didn’t understand any of the slides. But they still wanted to feel like they were adding value, so they threw this slide in. And of course, I don’t understand this slide. But I hope you like it.”

VMWare ESX on IBM Blades

I’ve worked with HP c-class stuff recently, but this is a good article on the IBM equivalent and the post looks a lot simpler to read than all the official IBM docs!
In my book if you are virtualizing your infrastructure there is less of a religious argument on the underlying hardware – it’s a lot more flexible so do you care as much?
Thanks to Martins post on Bladewatch for the handy link
Windows Server 2008 RTM’s Also…

Must be the day for it! I’m looking forward to Server 2008 and have a couple of projects lined up to try and take advantage of the new terminal services functionality.
Hyper-V will follow within 180 days… MS have a long way to go to win ground from VMWare but will have the usual single-vendor support argument so it’s going to be an interesting 18 months.
