Registration is now open for Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference 2003. According to Microsoft, PDC is a critical event for any developer who wants to see the debut of next-generation technology. Look into the future of Microsoft® Platform Software—Windows® "Longhorn," SQL Server "Yukon," Visual Studio® "Whidbey," and others—with the developers who wrote the code.
Early Bird Full Conference Registration works out at $1695.00 per person before september 10th and $1995.00 per person thereafter.
In addition, VMware has also developed "VMotion" software, which lets IT managers move a virtual server from one physical server to another, without interrupting the apps running on the virtual server. "It's like moving a file from one place to another in Windows," says Michael Mullany, VMware's senior director of product management. "Before VMotion, there would be hardware downtime to transfer virtual servers."
While companies such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun Microsystems have established strategies or visions of what utility computing will look like, virtualization of servers, networking, and storage form the foundation. From there, companies can automate resource allocation among virtual resources and write policy-management programs, Mullany says.
VMware is making available scripting APIs for Control Center, which will be available in the fourth quarter. The availability of these interfaces is expected to make it easier for companies to use VMware with more comprehensive IT management software from Computer Associates, HP, and IBM.
