Melbourne IT has flipped the switch on vSphere 4, making the Australian web hosting provider the first company in the world to go live with VMware’s new virtual infrastructure platform. VMware introduced the vSphere 4 platform in April and today announced its general availability.
“The new virtual machine size limits and the performance enhancements in VMware vSphere 4 will help us meet the performance needs of our larger corporate customers while new scalability features such as Hot Add and Hot Plug will enable us to scale up our applications to meet business requirements without any downtime,†said Glenn Gore, chief technology officer, Melbourne IT.
“This will allow us to grow and deliver the necessary resources to even our most resource intensive applications, extending the benefits of VMware vSphere 4 to our entire datacenter.â€
VMware vSphere 4 is claimed to extend the previous generation VMware platform – VMware Infrastructure 3 – along three dimensions: efficiency and performance required to run business critical applications in large scale environments, control over application security and service levels, and preserves customer choice of hardware, OS, application architecture and on-premise vs. off-premise application hosting.
It’s exciting to read how people are using the technology and how they are in this case using vSphere 4 as part of their virtualization solution. I wonder if this might encourage more disaster recovery or off site virtualization platform delivery? My email servers down the wire on a virtual platform?
I’m off  to read up more about it, do check it out.
