The following opinion article we will explain the new tool Vmware virtualization company, known as vSphere 4.1.

In previous articles of this blog have talked about virtualization, operation, and we also talked about a particular product VMware. You can refresh memory in the following items:

Clear concepts: Virtualization of servers and / or services

A practical example of Virtualization with VMWare

The company VMware has announced that for the month of August will release the new version of the well known vSphere, version 4.1. This new version has some significant improvements, mainly in the following diagram we can see how it distributed the following versions:

If we analyze this new scheme we noted that the services of High Availibility (HA) and VMotion are located now in the standard version, while Tolerence Fault (FT) is now part of the Advanced version. Without any doubt this change in versions of great benefit to users with a license can take advantage of lower cost two services very good. We recall that serves vMotion for moving virtual machines between different physical nodes hot and HA is a feature that continuously monitors all physical servers and in case of failure, affected virtual machines restarted on another physical server.

According to the company VMware, vSphere 4.1 features improvements in the management of virtual machine resources and performance of the network also announced the entry into force of a new licensing system virtual machine, so far was for hardware.

vSphere 4.1 includes several significant changes to come closer to SMEs. It incorporates a new memory compression technology that enables a throughput of up to 25% higher than the previous version (data demonstrate outstanding). It also incorporates an improved management of resources, this version allows over the previous, double computing resources in each network. We also noticed that it has substantially improved the speed of migration of virtual machines from one physical node to another, up to 5 times faster than the previous version. Now each physical server can be able to manage up to 10,000 virtual machines, three times more than in the previous version. For SMEs VMware released a product called VmwareGo that facilitates the introduction to the world of virtualization, to make it easier to adapt to this new technology.

VMware is also introducing two new products:

• VMware vCenter Configuration Manager, which allows operating enforce policies and prevent configuration errors by automating manual processes on all servers and workstations, both virtual and physical.

• VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager, which maps accurate and fast way dependencies between applications to speed up movement within the data center, also plans to consolidate infrastructure and virtualize business-critical applications.

Prices vary according to the needs of customers and hardware versions. Prices range from 65 € to more than 3,000 € of some licenses, but the two previous products is priced at $ 50,000 per virtual machine.
