L’annonce :
Virtual Iron Version 4.2 is the first Xen®-based server virtualization solution to include:
- Multi-pathing for virtual server Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks to support business continuity and redundancy.
- LiveSnapshot™ – virtual server snapshots for hot backup and patch management. These capabilities enable offloaded, space efficient and no-downtime backups on live virtual machines running in production environments and also reduce the time for virtual machine patching in development and test processes.
- The ability to dynamically increase the size of both disk groups and virtual disks – providing increased storage on demand.
The release also adds other new capabilities including:
- Broader OS support, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, to meet demand for mainstream, production use.
- Packaged Virtual Server tools as an ISO, which appears to the administrator as a virtual CD ROM, to further simplify deployments and upgrades.
