Citrix Has Put Out XenServer 4.1, the First Rev of the Open Source Virtualization Software Since it Bought XenSource Last Year

 The pricing, different from the usual per-socket licenses that Citrix claims jacks up the overall cost of virtualization and adds customer-annoying tracking requirements, applies to all editions of XenServer, including the coming new Platinum Edition due out this month, which dynamically provisions both physical and virtual server. The Citrix pricing is good for servers with up to four CPU sockets.VMware – as will Microsoft when it gets here this summer – charges per processor. A free Express Edition is still available for use on a single server.Citrix claims the number of resellers trained to sell XenSource has jumped from 300 to 2,500 since October and the unspecified customer base has doubled. It also claims that OEM agreements with Dell, HP, Lenovo and NEC have embedded it “on more than 50% of all 64-bit x86 server sold worldwide.”Meanwhile, it’s cut a deal with NetApp that delivers a server virtualization scheme that embraces NetApp’s storage. It means using a jointly developed Adapter for NetApp ONTAP that manages storage configuration and provisioning from a single console. All on ONTAP features can be accessed from the console and is supposed to simplify the use of virtual servers in NetApp networked storage environments.The stuff’s bundled in XenSource 4.1 and can be used for thin provisioning og virtual disk images (VDIs), VDI cloning and snapshots.

IBM is going to buy Transitive, the British cross-platform virtualization firm that salvaged legacy Macintosh programs and made Apple's move from IBM to Intel chips as graceful as a prima ballerina’s pirouette. Transitive is clever at running applications written for one kind of micr...
IBM has found something else to do with Linux. Its Lotus software operation is going into the hardware business – it’s concocted a Linux-based server appliance for e-mail, calendaring and its OpenOffice-based Symphony software for SMBs called IBM Lotus Foundations Start.

The Linux Foundation asked its people to wet their pencils and figure out the total value of Linux and the effect the open source platform was having on software economics. And so according to their calculations it would take $10.8 billion to build a Linux distribution like Fedora 9 th...
