HDX session SYN322 doubled to 90 minutes! Posted: 17 May 2013 05:39 PM PDT Due to the high level of interest that Synergy attendees have expressed in learning about the enhancements to our HDX technologies in the upcoming Excalibur release of Project Avalon, my Synergy session SYN322 has been doubled in length, allowing me to cover more topics , show more video/demos and invite some of my colleagues to share the podium. My theme this year is "Excalibur: reinventing HDX for mobile, 3D graphics and beyond".

Customize XenApp 6.5 AppCenter Posted: 17 May 2013 03:32 AM PDT In multi-lingual environments, where let's say the Windows 2008 R2 installation is in English and you add MUI languages packs, the XenApp 6.5 AppCenter console will pick up the language of the current user while many would need the console to use the English language. Also, customers with XenApp Enterprise can't use Citrix Single-Sign On (formely Password Manager) product as it isn't included in the… Read More

Release: VMTurbo Virtual Health Monitor Posted: 17 May 2013 06:09 AM PDT On May 14, VMTurbo announced the availability of its free product, a Virtual Health Monitor tool, a monitoring and reporting tool which is an evolution of the community edition of its control system for cloud and virtualized data centers, VMTurbo Operations Manager. VMTurbo's Virtual Health Monitor would allow  monitoring and reporting across vSphere, Hyper-V, XenServer and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, collecting metrics and providing insight to risk and efficiency issues identified across the environment. The solution automates decisions for resource allocation and workload placement in software to ensure applications get the resources required while maximizing utilization of IT assets. Among the features of VMTurbo Virtual Health Monitor: Instant visibility to health and performance Unlimited use across virtual data centers of any size Free monitoring and reporting for any hypervisor Lowest TCO due to innovative product architecture Weekly analysis of  utilization rates and areas to improve efficiency and reduce risk Derek Slayton, vice president of marketing at VMTurbo said: As more organizations expand their use of virtualization to include different hypervisors and more applications being run in VMs, new performance challenges are arising. While this shared resource model improves utilization, it also increases the likelihood for interference and resource contention across workloads and applications, monitoring and reporting are important capabilities to understand health and performance in the environment, and they should be fundamental and free on any hypervisor. Our tool focuses on delivering that in an unlimited fashion across any hypervisor with instant time-to-value – and providing unique insights to risk and efficiency improvements that should be made to our users.

Google Compute Engine moves to Debian Posted: 13 May 2013 03:22 AM PDT Since its announcement Google Compute Engine is in the spotlight as a potential competitor of Amazon AWS. Up to now Compute Engine has been based on customized versions of Ubuntu and CentOS but after the release of Debian 7.0 "wheezy" on May 4th, Google has officially chosen Debian as the default OS, a reasonable move, from a technical point of view, as wrote Jimmy Kaplowitz (Site Reliability Engineer and Debian developer) on Google App Engine Blog. From a business perspective the choice of Debian is more complex to understand. CONTINUE READING ON CLOUDCOMPUTING.INFO… Labels: Compute Engine, Google
