Nov, 2009 : Infinitely Virtual Upgrades to VMware vSphere 4
📅 - Enables the company to release new products, including those based on VMware Fault Tolerance, which provides continuous availability.
Infinitely Virtual, a provider of virtual server technology, last week announced an upgrade to VMware vSphere 4 - a move that increases operational efficiencies for the company, and provides customers with break-though virtualization features. The company states that the upgrade to vSphere 4 was accomplished with no downtime for its customers. VMware vSphere 4 is the industry's first cloud operating system, and the next evolutionary step in IT computing.
It further states that the vSphere 4 upgrade features significant performance enhancements, which include increased scalability and performance. vSphere 4 includes support for up to 8 core virtual CPU's, a maximum of 255GB of virtual machine ram, and can run on host machines that have up to 64 CPU cores and 1TB of memory. The company adds that vSphere 4 workload throughput is improved as a result of resource management and processor scheduling. It explains that hardware-assisted memory virtualization reduces both CPU and memory overhead. Storage is improved through a new paravirtualized SCSI driver, and additional ESX kernel-level storage stack optimizations. Significant enhancements to the vSphere 4 network subsystem result from the addition of VMXNET Generation 3, the third generation of paravirtualized NIC adapters from VMware.
The company claims that the upgrade enables it to release new products, including those based on VMware Fault Tolerance, which provides continuous availability, without any data loss or downtime, to any application. It further explains that IV also plans to offer support for vApps, which consists of one or more virtual machines and uses Open Virtualization Format to designate and enclose all components of a multi-tier application, as well as the operational policies and service levels relevant to it. This support for vApps guarantees flawless application movement between clouds. The VMware vSphere 4 upgrade allows the company community to gain even more out of their infrastructure, and further reinforces the importance of virtualization in today's hosting technologies.
"Infinitely Virtual is committed to exceeding our customers' expectations for stability and performance. By completing this ground-breaking upgrade on time and without service interruption, our team has again delivered at highest levels," explains Adam Stern, President and CEO of Infinitely Virtual and Altay Corporation.
