Virtualization tool box
With VMworld on the horizon, a slew of vendors update their tools and technologies to take on virtual environments.
Microsoft App-V 4.5 Integration with Microsoft's System Center deployment and operations management tools, addition of Dynamic Suite Composition (DSC) that allows virtualized applications to share middleware resources such as a database, and new versions in 11 languages. App-V servers up applications via a server that provides containers that run in their own "sandbox" on the desktop. Among other benefits, App-V lets different versions of the same application run at the same time, such as the desktop that shows incompatible versions of Microsoft Excel (97 and 2007) running side-by-side.
