VMware Announces vSphere

Hi folks, unless you have been hiding under a rock lately you will notice that VMware is poised to announce the launch of vSphere their new virtual server product which was renamed from ESX 4.0.

The masses wait eagerly in anticipation for the release of vSphere during this crazy virtual war that's going on right now. With vSphere released, expect VMware to launch a shot across Microsoft and Citrix's bow to keep them at bay.

VMware will be making the announcement on April 21st, 2009 and we will also be having a representative from VMware making an announcement at my company's twice annual conference "Epic Technology Day" at the Victoria Inn in Winnipeg, Manitoba on the same day.

Some of the upcoming cool features are vStorage which allows for thin-provisioned disks and the new Cisco vSwitch which allows you to have a virtual Cisco switch embedded in your ESX hosts.

There will more information to come from me after the announcement!

-Cheers, RP
