x86V has decided to focus on a monthly topic, to better concentrate the efforts of this sites research efforts, and not just randomly post topics which may be of interest to our readers. We invite all other virtualization blogs and software blogs to follow our topics or submit articles to be published on this blog as guest bloggers, with appropriate attribution.

July

In honor of the 4th of July celebration of Freedom (in the US), we are going to focus on “FREE”, no strings attached software and virtualization methods. There are many great Free products out there, including VMware Server, VMware Player, Virtual Server 2005, Virtual PC, and VirtualBox.

August

Being the hottest month of the year, in the northern hemisphere besides July which already has a topic, the topic of August will be “GREEN”. With virtualization leading to green computing, the month of August will cover the cost benefits, equipment benefits and operating savings of running virtualization in the corporate environment.

September

If all goes well, the acquisition of new Apple hardware will lead this month to be “APPLE” month. The topic will focus on VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, and the barely discussed OSX Server Virtualization.

October

The month of October ends with Halloween. So the topic will be the “SCARY” part of virtualization. This is all about what happens when virtualization goes wrong, hardware dies, and how to safely backup restore and move Virtual Machines.

The best way to stay up to date with the virtualization industry is to subscribe to the RSS Feed and receive the latest headlines as soon as they get posted.

Enjoy
