They say it’s dangerous to speak in terms of certainties, to take a “black or white” view of the world. Here’s one that should be safe, though: VMware is the leader in the enterprise server virtualization market. Its acquisition of B-hive Networks doesn’t change that, but it could widen the gap between VMware and the rest of the virtualization pack, as B-hive’s Conductor technology will allow VMware to target higher-end, more mission-critical applications, as well as users looking to seriously step up service levels.

According to VMware CTO Stephen Herrod, the company is intent on making VMware environments the best place to run high-end, complex applications, and B-hive’s technology immediately helps them do just that. A virtual appliance that sits outside the software stack, Conductor works across different operating systems and machines, and provides detailed information on application performance — something Herrod says has been “one of the critical factors that people have looked to as they get higher- and higher-end applications running on VMware infrastructure.”
