Microsoft Windows Virtualization
“Green” computing and simple administration in an environmentally responsible manner
Managing resources and looking out for our environment is quickly becoming critical in today’s world. Environment-friendly initiatives have grown to an industry-recognized and budget-influencing requirement. Technologies like virtualization and server consolidation are tools for lowering power waste, getting more out of your hardware and software.The idea of “green computing” means workstations require less processing capability since it leverages the computing capability of the server.
In the past we talked about our new web-based Document Console, which can now be executed and run over a network in a browser based environment. The process in which web-based products work is on a “Client-Server” model or in the old days a similar process was used for ‘terminals’. In short, it means that the server will do all the work, meaning the workstations (or clients) will be more a messenger between the server and the client. Much like searching for something on Google, the user is required to input the search item, and then the browser will return the results. In the same way the user would login to an application and the server machine would send the necessary data over for the client to run the application on their end. Over the next year you will be hearing more about Windows Virtualization and Windows Server.

Why should I keep my Microsoft Windows Operating System up-to-date?
The Internet has rapidly become a part of our daily lives. It has erased borders between communities and has changed the globe by becoming a single entity. It is a significant tool offering an unconstrained quantity of information and services from around the globe. Knowledge is what keeps you surfing safely, and protecting your information, and so ignorance of the hazards is no excuse. Remember that your Windows Operating System is only as good as its last update. Keeping current with Operating Systems, like Windows XP SP2 or Vista SP1 (32-bit) tightens your system security. To get complete protection, you must update regularly with the latest patches and fixes. An unwanted problem can harm hardware, software and productivity. Learning how to browse the web safely, keeping informed and protected is always the best policy.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008
Reaching the next major milestone in virtualization development, Microsoft made broadly available a feature-complete release candidate of Microsoft Hyper-V, the hypervisor-based virtualization software available with various versions of Windows Server 2008. A beta of Hyper-V was included with Windows Server 2008 when it launched last month, and this release candidate provides updated, near-final code.
Hyper-V provides customers with efficient and cost-effective virtualization infrastructure software. It enables customers to reduce operating costs by increasing hardware utilization, optimizing infrastructure and improving server availability.
