Novell's Virtualization Partnership

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the thinking-out-of-the-box dept.

Jane Walker writes "The push for a virtual data center and utility computing continued this week as Novell announced that SuSE Linux would have support for Virtual Iron out of the box." Novell has also guaranteed that 'that all existing independent software vendor (ISV) certifications will not be affected.' From the article: "'The applications certification [component] is huge,' said Novell director of data center applications Justin Steinman. 'Customers want to know that their existing applications are not going to break when they deploy their technology [on a virtual server].'"

    I had a virtual iron once, but I had to get rid of it because I became constantly worried that I had left the damn thing on.
