Windows Server 2008 Adds Virtualization -- In Beta Form

The Release Candidate of Windows Server 2008 will include the
beta code for Microsoft's much-anticipated virtualization technology. Is that a good idea?


When the production version of Windows Server 2008 (WS08) ships -- the official launch is planned for February 27, 2008 -- it will include beta software code. Microsoft announced that Microsoft will include the beta of Windows Server Virtualization (WSV) within the release version of Windows Server 2008, its updated flagship server operating system.
Why is Microsoft taking the drastic step of including beta code with the release of an otherwise finished product? According to Arun Jayendran, program manager for Windows Server Virtualization, it's because customers are so interested in the new WSV.

There is no doubt that there's a great deal of interest in server virtualization. There is also no doubt that Microsoft is behind the competition. As the major server operating system vendor, it needs to get into the virtualization space. But rushing beta code to market may be a risky tactic. Windows Server Virtualization will be an unfinished product: it will implement the hot virtualization method of the moment, hypervisor technology, in a kludgey way, and it will lack features like live migration.

Why Virtualization?
Machine virtualization is the simulation of an actual machine running in a virtualized hardware environment on top of a physical machine which acts as the host. What is great about virtualization is that virtual machines behave exactly like a physical machine when you interact with it. End users see no difference at all (and in some cases, they see improvements in performance). In addition, you can run multiple virtual machines on the same physical hardware -- sometimes up to 15 or 20 machines on the same box -- saving hardware, data center space, and power consumption.

Virtualization is taking the IT marketplace by storm. There are already several players, and all have generated significant revenues in the past few years, including VMware, the current market leader in the field, and XenSource, a Linux-based virtualization. And, of course, Microsoft. According to Microsoft, fewer than 5% of servers in the world are currently virtualized. If this is true, then the size of the virtualization market is huge.

This growth is being driven at least in part by a new approach to virtualization tools in the form of hypervisor technology. Virtualization has been around for several years, but it had at least one important limitation: In many cases, the virtualization products (such as Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 R2 and VMware's VMware Server) needed to reside on existing operating systems. Hypervisors do not reside on top of the operating system, but are virtualization engines that are baked into the OS, reducing their overhead and providing a better virtualization model.

Hypervisors Take Center Stage

As a result, hypervisors are becoming very popular. On September 10, 2007, VMware announced that it had made a deal with server hardware manufacturers IBM, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens Computers, Dell, HP, and NEC to include VMware ESX Server 3i, VMware's hypervisor directly into the server hardware. This would make virtualization deployments simpler: Just hook up the server to your infrastructure, integrate it into your virtualization management space, and load it with virtual machines.
Meanwhile, on August 15, 2007, Citrix Systems, known for its thin-client solutions, announced that it would purchase XenSource, adding XenSource's guest OS virtualization capabilities to its existing line of virtualization products.

In this atmosphere, it was only a matter of time before Microsoft announced its own foray into the hypervisor market: Windows Server Virtualization (WSV). Windows Server 2008 was due to hit the streets late this year; however, Microsoft delayed the release until February to give the Windows Server Virtualization team time to include their beta code into the product. (Windows Server Virtualization is due to be official released 180 days after WS08 is released to manufacturing.)

There is no doubt that when it does hit the streets, WSV will make its own bang. Unlike Virtual Server 2005, WSV will not run on top of the operating system, but will run with the operating system, reducing the virtualization overhead on hardware. In addition to 32-bit virtual machines (VM), WSV will also support 64-bit VMs, something Virtual Server cannot do today.

WSV will be managed through a new Microsoft Management console, doing away with the need to deploy Internet Information Services (IIS) on each server that runs the hypervisor -- once again reducing the overhead and making for a more secure hardware layer (see Figure 1 again). WSV will take advantage of the virtualization features that Intel and AMD have built into their processors. Virtual machines running on WSV can have up to four processor cores and up to 32 GB of RAM. Failover clustering will be available for both hardware hosts and virtual machines, providing service continuation at both levels.

Problems At The Start
There are problems that Microsoft will need to address. It will be missing some important features, such as live migration of virtual machines (moving a virtual machine from one hardware host to another without an interruption of service) and hot addition of resources while virtual machines are running, as well as overall resource reallocation based on current need -- features that Microsoft has announced will be added later.

In addition, according to Microsoft its trimmed-down hypervisor is less than 1 KB in size. But in order to run, it will have to be installed with WS08's character-based Server Core version -- a typical installation of which is more than 1 GB in size. Compare that to the newly released VMware ESX 3i, which is 32 MB altogether, and you'll see that WSV is really a "fat" hypervisor. And the hypervisor will have to run on 64-bit hardware, since WSV does not support 32-bit hosts.

On the other hand, WSV will change the way people look at virtualization. Currently, hypervisors cost a significant amount of money and single-VM hosts do not exist because no one wants to spend the money on a hypervisor to run one single workload. It just isn't cost effective.

Because of this, organizations running them need to make the most of each hypervisor installation, running as many as 15 to 20 virtual machines per host. With the hypervisor available in the OS, Microsoft will help organizations change this model by letting them determine the size of the workload to run on each hardware host. If the workload demands all of the host's resources, then the host will become what is called a "single-VM host" -- a host that is dedicated to one workload. Even with only one workload, it still helps to virtualize the workload because virtualization liberates all workloads from the physical hardware and lets you move them around from host to host on an as needed basis.

MIT alums win MacArthur 'genius' awards

MIT alumni Saul Griffith (S.M. 2001, Ph.D. 2004) and Yoky Matsuoka (S.M. 1995, Ph.D. 1998) have been awarded 2007 MacArthur fellowships, more commonly known as "genius" grants.

Griffith, an inventor who received the 2004 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for creating a "desktop printer" that makes low-cost eyeglasses for use in underserved communities, was honored for "engineering innovations spanning optics, high-performance materials and nanotechnology in the service of the world community," according to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Matsuoka, an associate professor and robotics expert in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle, was chosen for "devising complex prosthetic devices and rehabilitation strategies that hold life-changing potential for those suffering from brain injuries and manipulation disabilities," the foundation said.

Griffith and Matsuoka are among the 24 MacArthur fellows chosen this year for their creativity, originality and potential to make important contributions in the future. Fellows receive $500,000 in "no strings attached" support over five years; in other words, they may spend the money as they see fit.

According to The Seattle Times, the MacArthur Foundation official who notifies award winners issues a standard warning when the unsuspecting recipients pick up the phone: "I've got shocking news," he says. "If you're holding anything fragile--like a baby--you might want to set it down."

Matsuoka told the paper that she just happened to be nursing her 8-day-old son when the special call came in.

"He told me I was the very first one in 20 years who actually was holding a baby," Matsuoka, 36, was quoted as saying.


According to a biography provided by the foundation, Matsuoka is transforming experts' understanding of how the central nervous system coordinates musculoskeletal action and of how robotic technology can enhance the mobility of people with manipulation disabilities.

Working at the intersection of computer science, biophysics, material science, biomechanics, and psychophysics, Matsuoka creates sophisticated prosthetic devices and designs complementary rehabilitation strategies.

In one line of research, she constructed an anatomically correct robotic hand, complete with an intricate tendon structure that enables it to respond to sensor signals closely resembling neural commands.

This model has facilitated investigations into the neuromuscular forces necessary for precise finger movement and constitutes an important step toward the development of a dexterous prosthetic hand that can be controlled by the brain's neural signals.

Another major project Matsuoka is working on involves the use of virtual environments and visual feedback to distort recovering stroke patients' perceptions of tasks they perform during therapy.

Prior to receiving advanced degrees from MIT, she received a B.S. from the University of California, Berkeley. From 2001 to 2006, she was an assistant professor affiliated with the Robotics Institute, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University.

'Boundless energy'
According to the foundation, Griffith, 33, shares his "boundless energy" for inventing across several disciplines. Already the holder of several patents in optics, textiles, and nanotechnology, Griffith is a "prodigy of invention in service of the world community," the foundation said.

While a graduate student at MIT, Griffith designed the low-cost eyeglass maker and invented the I-cycle, a bicycle made of plywood; a 3-D chocolate printer; a 3-D micro-fabrication method for rapid construction at the nanoscale, and the e-rope, a smart rope that can sense and report the strain of the load it bears and where it has frayed.

In 2005, Time magazine named Griffith's e-rope as one of that year's 40 most amazing inventions. Also in 2005, Technology Review ranked Griffith as one of the world's 35 top innovators under the age of 35.

Griffith credits his MIT peers for inspiring him, noting that the Institute is "highly dense with people who are obsessive and passionate about what they do."

A native of Sydney, Australia, Griffith currently invents at Squid Labs, the California-based engineering/technology company he and his colleagues founded in 2004. The low-cost lenses and accessible eye-exam technologies are a major focus of research and development energy at Squid Labs, which also developed the e-rope.

As technical advisor at Potenco, a spin-off company, Griffith initiated the project design for a hand-held human-powered generator, which has the potential to improve access to electronic devices such as laptops and water purifiers throughout the world.

Before receiving advanced degrees from MIT, Griffith received a B.MET.E. from the University of New South Wales and an M.E. from the University of Sydney.

Griffith and Matsuoka join 29 current and former members of the MIT community who have won MacArthur Fellowships, according to the Office of the Provost. They include 13 current faculty, seven former faculty and four research staff.

Team demos safety of RNA therapy

Researchers from MIT, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and other institutions have demonstrated the safety of a promising type of genetic therapy that could lead to treatments for a wide range of diseases such as cancer and viral diseases.

The work, which will be published in the Sept. 27 issue of Nature, describes a new approach to conducting the therapy. A paper in Nature last year reported that another commonly used approach caused fatalities in mice.

The research focuses on RNA interference, or RNAi, a key part of the body's genetic machinery. RNAi works by using short strands of RNA to block the expression of specific genes.

"RNAi has huge potential as a therapeutic agent," said Daniel Anderson, a research associate at MIT's Center for Cancer Research and one of the authors of the new paper.

However, a paper published in Nature last year by a different team showed that large doses of one type of RNA used for RNAi, short hairpin RNA, disrupted another key RNA pathway, the microRNA pathway, and caused the mice in the study to die. That result worried some RNAi researchers, said Anderson.

"That first paper demonstrated that short hairpin RNA could lead to mouse fatality," he said. "Researchers were concerned that a second type of RNA, small interfering RNA (siRNA), would induce the same toxicity."

In the current study, the researchers demonstrated that siRNA did not have the same toxic effects as large doses of shRNA because it does not interfere with the microRNA pathway. Further, they achieved 80 percent silencing of target genes in mice and hamster liver cells.

"Using chemically synthesized siRNA, you can deliver sufficient siRNA to achieve therapeutically valuable gene silencing, without interfering with the cell's endogenous microRNA," said David Bumcrot, a director of research at Alnylam (an MIT startup) and one of the authors of the paper.

The research team used a new RNA delivery system developed at MIT, the details of which will be published in another upcoming paper, to perform the RNA interference.

In many RNAi studies, including the one that the MIT/Alnylam team was following up on, researchers use retroviruses to deliver genes that code for short hairpin RNA, which is a precursor to siRNA. Once the gene is incorporated into the cell's DNA, short hairpin RNA is synthesized and transported from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm for further processing.

The earlier study showed that large amounts of short hairpin RNA blocked the cell's ability to export microRNA, which uses the same export pathway. Without normally functioning microRNA, the mice died. Low doses of short hairpin RNA were not toxic, but the dosage is difficult to control because once the shRNA gene is incorporated into the DNA of the host cells, it is expressed for long periods of time, said Bumcrot.

In the current MIT/Alnylam study, siRNA was delivered directly to the cell cytoplasm, so it did not compete with the export of microRNA.

"We wanted to demonstrate that if you go downstream of that (export) step in the pathway, you don't get interference with the microRNA pathway," said Bumcrot. "With synthetic siRNAs, we deliver a defined dose and we know how long the effect lasts. If toxicity issues arise, dosing can be stopped at any time. It's much easier to control and, therefore, safer."

Other MIT authors on the paper are Institute Professor Robert Langer and Michael Goldberg, a graduate student in chemistry. Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are also authors on the paper.

The work at MIT was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Sheffi named director of Engineering Systems Division

Professor Yossi Sheffi has been appointed director of the Engineering Systems Division, effective Nov. 15, Dean of Engineering Subra Suresh announced this week.

Sheffi received his B.Sc. from Technion in Israel in 1975, his S.M. from MIT in 1977, and his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1978; he holds faculty appointments in the Engineering Systems Division and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. An expert in systems optimization, risk analysis and supply chain management, Sheffi serves as director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, a position he will continue to hold as ESD director. Under his leadership, the center has experienced substantial growth, launching many educational, research and industry/government outreach programs.

Sheffi is the author of numerous research articles and two books, including the bestseller "The Resilient Enterprise: Overcoming Vulnerability for Competitive Advantage," published by the MIT Press in 2005. It received rave reviews from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and The Economist, as well as dozens of trade publications; The Financial Times chose it as one of the best business books of 2005; and it was awarded the "2005 Book of the Year" in the category of Business and Economics by Forward Magazine.

Since 1998, Sheffi has served as the director of MIT's Master of Engineering in Logistics degree, a program he founded. The program grew from 17 applications at its inception to hundreds of applications today and has inspired the creation of dozens of similar programs worldwide.

In 2003, Sheffi founded and has since led the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, an international collaboration among academia, industry and government. This program has led to substantial economic growth in Aragon, and in 2006, he received the Aragon's presidential award for "the most substantial contribution to the regional economy."

Outside the university, Sheffi has consulted with numerous governments and leading manufacturing, retail and transportation enterprises around the world. He is also an active entrepreneur, having founded five successful companies, and is a sought-after speaker for corporate and professional events.

Sheffi has been recognized with numerous awards and honors in academic and industry forums and was on the cover of Purchasing Magazine and Transportation and Distribution Magazine. In 1997 he won the Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor given by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. He is also a life fellow of Cambridge University's Clare Hall College.

In his announcement, Suresh also thanked Institute Professor Joel Moses, who has graciously served as the Interim Director of ESD since January 2006, and added that he is looking forward to working with Sheffi and colleagues in ESD.

MIT tether could aid asteroid missions

Using a tether system devised by MIT researchers, astronauts could one day stroll across the surface of small asteroids, collecting samples and otherwise exploring these rocks in space without floating away.

The ability to visit asteroids could also be invaluable for testing equipment for a mission to Mars by humans. Further, knowing how to tether an asteroid could be helpful if one needs to be towed away from a potential collision course with Earth, says Christopher Carr, a postdoctoral associate in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences.

Carr and Ian Garrick-Bethell, a graduate student in the department, describe their system in an upcoming issue of the journal Acta Astronautica.

Walking on an asteroid is much more difficult than walking on a planet because asteroids have so little gravity. An astronaut who tried to step onto one would likely fly off or hover above the surface.

Now Carr and Garrick-Bethell say that tying a lightweight rope completely around an asteroid could solve that problem. Once the rope was in place, astronauts could attach themselves to it and maneuver or possibly even walk along the surface.

That would allow an in-depth exploration of the composition and history of asteroids, which could shed light on some of the big questions about our solar system, such as how the planets formed, said Carr.

"This is an innovative approach to a task nobody has spent much time thinking about," said former astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, an MIT professor of aeronautics and astronautics who sponsored the paper. "NASA has taken a brief look at a human visit to a Near Earth Object, and it may be something we can do long before going to Mars. Clever ideas will be necessary to allow people to do useful work near objects on which you cannot 'land,' but only 'dock.'"

An asteroid's gravity varies depending on its density and size, which can range from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers. On an asteroid that has a diameter larger than eight kilometers, an astronaut who jumps will probably come back to the surface, Carr said. But if the asteroid is smaller than that, the astronaut may float away.

Even if an asteroid has enough gravity to keep an astronaut on the surface, it would be difficult to move around or collect samples. "You couldn't touch anything without sending yourself on a new trajectory or spinning yourself around," said Garrick-Bethell, who is the first author of the Acta Astronautica paper.

Some people have suggested that astronauts could bolt themselves directly to the asteroid, but the granular material covering the asteroids could prevent this.

"It would be like trying to bolt yourself to a pile of gravel or sand," Garrick-Bethell said.

The MIT researchers envision deploying their system with an astronaut or a remote-controlled rocket that unwinds a spool of rope while flying around the asteroid. When the craft reaches the starting point, a loop is formed and tightened. Astronauts could then be held to the asteroid using one or more ropes, permitting them to work on the surface.

One unknown is whether the rope would cut into the granular surface of an asteroid, hindering the system's effectiveness. But even if the rope does not allow astronauts to walk on the surface, it could at least give them something to hold onto as they pull themselves along the asteroid without floating away, said Carr.

MIT Museum expands with new gallery

The MIT Museum will celebrate the grand opening of its new 5,000-square-foot addition with a Sept. 29 ribbon-cutting, new exhibits and events, and free admission for all visitors to the museum Sept. 29 and Sept. 30.

The $3 million addition will house the Mark Epstein (S.B. 1963, S.M. 1964) Innovation Gallery, MIT 360, a media-rich program and activity area, a new museum store and a new street-level entryway.

"With this major expansion, the Museum will establish a bold public presence on lower Massachusetts Avenue. For the first time, we'll have enough space to feature highlights of some of the most current research and innovation here at MIT," said John Durant, MIT Museum director.

One of the museum's goals for the addition, which converted offices into exhibition spaces, was to permit visitors easier access to the museum as well as to provide "vivid examples of the ways in which MIT researchers are continuing to invent the future," Durant noted.

The celebration starts with a ribbon cutting at 10:00 a.m. Sept. 29 and launches a weekend full of exciting activities.

Exhibits in the ground floor gallery will feature first-time presentations of MIT science and technology research. These include:

The MIT Media Laboratory City Car
This lightweight, intelligent electric vehicle radically reduces urban energy consumption and carbon footprints. It's not only completely electric, but also stacks for easy parking.

MIT and the Sea: Pioneers in Ocean Exploration
MIT's collaborations with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the U.S. Navy and industry have illuminated the darkest mysteries of the sea. The multimedia exhibition showcases work by MIT engineers in developing undersea robots for ocean exploration.

No Ordinary Fish: Zebrafish as a Model for Cancer Research
Set in the middle of the new gallery is an aquatic habitat system that houses 10 aquariums filled with zebrafish, which are used in MIT cancer research.

The gallery will also feature sculptural works by Arthur Ganson created specifically for the gallery.

"We are very grateful to the MIT alumni and museum board members who jump-started this hugely important project," said Mary Leen, associate director of the museum.

Leen also noted, "When the Mark Epstein Innovation Gallery opens, the museum's capacity for event rental space will also increase, opening up the possibility to not only host MIT events, but local, corporate and community events as well."

ISRO developing cheaper satellite phone link

HYDERABAD: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is working on a new device to drastically reduce the cost of satellite phone usage and enable access to remote areas of the country, a top space agency official said on Monday.

"We are finalising the design of GSAT-6 experimental satellite that will carry the device to connect mobile handsets through a satellite link. It will make access cheaper with connectivity even in remote areas," ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair told IANS at the first plenary session of the International Aeronautical Congress (IAC 2007) on the inaugural day.

Referring to the exponential growth of mobile subscriber base in the sub-continent after the advent of the cellular technology in the GSM and CDMA space, Nair said a similar revolution would take place when satellite phones become affordable by better and efficient use of space technology and applications.

"We hope to launch GSAT-6 in the next three years with the special device in the transponders for providing direct access to mobile phones on the lines of direct-to-home (DTH) satellite link used for television broadcasting," Nair pointed out.

The GSAT-6 will be launched by the indigenous GSLV (geo-synchronous satellite launch vehicle) and deployed in the geo-stationary orbit at 36,000km from earth by 2010.

"A subscriber will be able to connect his or her GSM phone when signals from the mobile service provider fail or do not reach by automatically switching over to the satellite link," ISRO Scientific Secretary Bhaskara Narayana said.

"We are also designing a larger solar antenna for the satellite, which will be five times bigger than the present 2.2 metre antenna used in the communication satellites for newsgathering and television broadcasting," he added.

The larger antenna will be deployed as an umbrella in space.

It may be recalled Iridium LLC, a satellite phone service provider, shut shop after it went bankrupt in 2000 due to heavy losses and dwindling subscriber base owing to steep access costs.

Abu Dhabi-based Thuraya Satellite Communications is the only operator providing both satellite-based and GSM-based services to millions of users in about 110 countries from two commercial satellites.

Need for setting up Aeronautics Commission

BANGALORE: It is imperative for the country to set up an Aeronautics Commission akin to the Space and Atomic Energy Commission to bring all Aeronautical R & D, Design and manufacturing establishments under one umbrella, Vice Admiral (Retd) Raman Puri said on Wednesday.

Delivering the CSIR Foundation Day lecture at the National Aerospace Laboratories here, Puri said though the government had initiated a number of aeronautics developmental activities in the last few years, "what is badly lacking is a long-term vision and a unified approach from concept definition of a system to its final operational deployment".

"If we recognise that aeronautics is a crucially important activity for India, it is essential to bring in a unified and well-coordinated approach with clear objectives in aeronautical R and D, technology development and design and manufacture of new systems", he said while speaking on 'Strategy for Indigenous Capability Building in Aeronautics'.

The capital intensive nature of aeronautics in India cannot be left entirely to market forces and a deliberate way forward has to be defined for both military and civil aircraft development and manufacture in the country.

This has been recognised for quite some time by the aeronautical community. The Aeronautical Society of India has made a proposal for defining a National Aeronautics Policy and establish an Aeronautics Commission on the lines of the Space and Atomic Energy Commission, he said.

For a variety of reasons, this proposal has not yet been approved but it has recently been revived, he said.

Mac Virtualization Software

SWsoft Inc., the company behind the Parallels Desktop virtualization software for Macintosh, expects to release a beta version of a server edition of the software in the next four to six weeks. It is also working on new management tools for the data center that will control other vendors' virtualization products.

The company sees Parallels Server as a product for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) or for departmental use in larger companies, filling the niche between its desktop products and Virtuozzo, its OS-level virtualization system for data centers.

Where Virtuozzo allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on one machine using a single instance of the same operating system kernel -- either all Windows 2003, or all Linux -- Parallels Server will allow disparate operating systems to run on the same server. While large companies tend to have the power to force standardization on a single operating system, making Virtuozzo's virtual environment approach appropriate for them, SMEs need the flexibility that true virtualization offers, according to Benjamin Rudolph, director of corporate communications at SWsoft.

Some of the features of Parallels Server, such as full 64-bit support for host and guest operating systems, and support for multiprocessor VMs, should also appear in the next major version of the desktop edition, due in the first half of next year, said Rudolph.

Supporting 64-bit operating systems "is not really necessary on the desktop, but on the server it is," said Rudolph. The feature will take away one of the advantages of Fusion, a rival desktop product from VMware Inc., which already has the capability. Both products continue to evolve and add features: Parallels offered a downloadable feature update for its version 3 desktop software earlier this month, and VMware began beta testing version 1.1 of Fusion on Tuesday.

SWsoft's planned addition of SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) support in Parallels Desktop will allow Mac OS X users to get the best performance from multiprocessor-aware applications such as PhotoShop running in either operating system. Currently, virtual machines in Parallels Desktop run on (and emulate) just one processor core, with other cores in the system occupied by the host operating system.

The company's new data center management tools will debut in Virtuozzo 4, now in beta testing, where they will allow management only of Virtuozzo virtual environments. But SWsoft intends to extend the capabilities in future versions to allow management of other virtualization systems, including VMware, Xen, and Microsoft's Veridian, said Rudolph.

That move would come as no surprise to IDC research director Chris Ingle. As virtualization technology itself becomes more of a commodity, virtualization vendors will be forced to develop innovative management tools in order to remain competitive, he said recently. An IDC study found that while cost is the prime reason in deciding whether or not to virtualize, it is less important than the availability of management tools when choosing a virtualization vendor.

Rudolph also hopes that other vendors will offer management tools for Parallels Server when it is released: SWsoft plans to open up the APIs (application programming interfaces) to allow that, and some of the software tools in its SDK (software development kit) will effectively be open source, he said. SWsoft hasn't yet chosen the license under which it will release that code, he said.

VMware Battles Back with Fusion 1.1 Beta.

Mac users seem to be getting a lot of attention these days what with Parallels and VMware going back and forth updating their Mac virtualization platforms in a relatively quick fashion as they battle for dominance in that market.

If you are just joining the party, VMware and Parallels both offer a desktop virtualization platform to allow Intel-based Macs to run virtual machines that operate Linux or Windows operating systems so that you can easily run your favorite applications that work on those operating systems.

VMware's latest Beta version of its Fusion product, version 1.1, includes a number of new features and bug fixes. Most notable of these new features are:

New experimental support for DirectX 9.0 3-D graphics (without shader support).

Improved USB support for syncing the iPhone in Microsoft Windows virtual machines

Improvements to Unity such as the option to show or hide the Windows taskbar and Start menu in the View menu and the VMware Fusion "Launch Applications" window no longer appears automatically when no Unity windows are open

Eject key now automatically ejects the optical drive, even if the optical drive is attached to a virtual machine

Improved support for running on Mac OS X Leopard hosts

VMware Shared Folders created with Windows Easy Install now default to "Read Only" access of the Mac's home directory for maximum security
