VMware to spill the vSphere beans on April 21
Mark your calendars. VMware will launch the next generation of its virtualization platform on April 21, at an event at its Palo Alto headquarters, flanked by partners Cisco and Intel.
...
The hypervisor itself will be 64-bit, will provide support for up to 256 GB of RAM per guest and eight-way virtual symmetric multiprocessing, or SMP. On the management side, it will be possible to cluster the vCenter servers, and users will be able to create and provision virtual machines using new host profiles and guest templates.
...
In addition to core ESX and vCenter products, VMware is also expected to launch several new ancillary products, including the long-awaited VMware Fault Tolerance, and AppSpeed for performance management of applications running within a virtual machine.
