"As is usual when dealing with mobile operators and corporate IT, some caveats apply. So far only Android devices will work with the Horizon hypervisor with VMware unable to offer the benefits of a hypervisor-enabled virtualization on Apple’s iOS devices including the iPad and iPhone for Verizon. Steve Herrod, the CTO of VMware, said in an interview that’s he’s happy to do it when Apple decided to let others play around with its operating system. Meanwhile he reiterated that eventually he hopes to get VMware’s Horizon product written into the Android code."

"User response to the new licensing at VMware's community forum has been decidedly negative. One person commenting on the VMware forum writes: "We just purchased 10 dual-socket servers with 192GB RAM each (enterprise license level), and we'll need to triple our license count to be able to use all available RAM if allocated by VMs." Another person claims that his small and medium business will see a 300 percent increase in price as a result of the new model."

"Soltero made it clear that VMware has no intention of doing so, indicating that open-sourcing the hypervisor wouldn't benefit customers in the same way that open-sourcing Cloud Foundry does. Cloud Foundry is open so that you can readily move your application from place to place. With vSphere, he indicated, application portability isn't an issue. Earlier in the day, ex-MySQL boss Marten Mickos asked Soltero if the rise of Cloud Foundry meant vSphere would be open-sourced. "I hope he was joking," Soltero told us."

"In two or three years, Whitehurst predicts, virtualisation and cloud tools will still be a minority of Red Hat's revenue, compared to subscription fees of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, though it will be a "substantial" minority of the revenue by then.

On Tuesday, Red Hat reported gains in both revenue and net income for its fiscal 2011 first quarter. It reported net income of US$24.1 million -- up from $18.5 million a year earlier -- and revenue of $209 million, of which $179 million was from subscription revenue. "

"VMware and Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT), two rival virtualization technology providers with little love between them, are now publicly feuding over what VMware's decision to offer an OEM version of Novell (NSDQ:NOVL)'s SUSE Linux means.
The latest spat between the two stems from a June 9 announcement that VMware will distribute and support Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system with its vSphere technology, and will standardize its virtual appliance-based product offerings on that operating system, known also as SLES."

"Two areas where Thadani said he believes Red Hat's KVM-based virtualization currently has an advantage over VMware are price and application support. Exact costs depend on the number of hosts and machines being virtualized, as well as the operating systems concerned. However, using RHEV instead of VMware could result in between 40 percent and 80 percent costs savings, he claimed. Red Hat guarantees that, because RHEV is built from the same kernel as RHEL, any Linux application that runs on RHEL will also run in a RHEL virtual machine virtualized on RHEV. If it doesn't run properly in this way, Thadani said Red Hat will provide support to fix it so that it does."

"In response to archrival Red Hat (NYSE: RHT)'s flurry of virtualization announcements this month, Novell (NSDQ: NOVL), has agreed to collaborate with VMware to help developers create virtual appliances for SuSE Linux Enterprise. The collaborative deal affords ISVs using VMware Studio a free evaluation redistribution of appliances built on SuSE Linux Enterprise. The offer is designed to help developers simplify the process of creating virtual appliances."

"VMware is no stranger to the open source ecosystem having made numerous pieces of software available under open source licenses over the years. Today, VMware is adding another one to the mix with the VMware View Open Client which will be available under the LGPL."

"So let's look at the two ways you can run Linux. You can set up a Mac to dual boot, using Apple's Boot Camp system, which is included with Leopard 10.5 and available for download if you're still running Panther (10.4) from Apple's Web site, but somehow that seems clunky at best given the great virtualization capabilities on modern Apple hardware. As a result, I'm going to focus on getting Linux up and running simultaneously with running Mac OS X."
