Ai Virtualisation terminate agreement with Accario
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to no longer sell the Accario product portfolio and have terminated our distribution agreement with Accario Inc. We will still continue to provide support to existing customers where required as it appears that Accario have ceased to function as a software vendor.
We are in discussions with another software vendor,The development Cloud, who will have a similar solution ready for market within the next 4 months... to register your interest, please contact andy@aivirtualisation.com with the subject line Accario alternative solution interest. We will keep you updated with the progress of this new solutions release timeframes via email.
It is The Development Cloud’s intention to come to market in the near future with next-generation products for the Access Gateway that not only encompass functionality provided by products previously available, but also bring new features such as support for Windows 7 and better integration with Windows security such as User Access Control. It is anticipated that these solutions will not only offer new customers innovative ways of working with Access Gateway but will offer existing customers of other 3rd party solutions a route forward.
In order to be able to do this, OEM agreements with 3rd parties such as OPSWAT need to be put in place and these are currently under negotiation. Once these discussions reach a positive conclusion The Development Cloud will be in a position to announce further product details and expected timescales.

Virtualization: Tips for avoiding server overload - Use VirtualIQ Pro from ToutVirtual
Don't fall into the trap of overestimating physical-to-virtual server ratios; it can come back to bite you, big time. Computerworld - As virtualization stretches deeper into the enterprise to include mission-critical and resource-intensive applications, IT executives are learning that double-digit physical-to-virtual server ratios are things of the past. Virtualization vendors may still be touting the potential of putting 20, 50, or even 100 VMs (virtual machines) on a single physical machine, but IT managers and industry experts say those ratios are dangerous in production environments, causing performance problems or, worse, outages.nullread more

The tricky math of server virtualization ROI - Use VirtualIQ Pro from ToutVirtualI
InfoWorld - Server virtualization is supposed to save buckets of cash, largely from server reduction. After all, consolidating some 20 physical servers to three host servers means less hardware and reduced power and cooling, not to mention less management overhead. But wait! The math is much trickier than that -- and unless you're a large business, there's a good chance it'll cost you more than you save, at least from the outset. "Probably 50% of the small and [midsize] business virtualization implementations I see are not cheaper than simply replacing the physical servers already there," says Matt Prigge, a virtualization consultant and InfoWorld Test Center contributor.nullread more

Multiple virtualization vendors in one IT shop? If so, the management challenge changes
A survey published at The Hot Aisle this week purports a shift in the virtualization market that we've heard about from Microsoft and Citrix more and more over the past few months: people are adopting more than one virtualization technology in their environments. VMware has had an impressive run as a near-monopoly in the server virtualization space for the past several years. And, the competitors have been saying that any day now they will begin chipping away at VMware's dominance. Truth is, data points making that case have seemed few and far between. Now either that's changing, or data supporting this view is getting more visible.nullread more
