I first saw F5 demonstrate long distance VMotion at VMworld 2009. A couple years ago, you were considered the cool kid on the block if you threw out the term ‘VMotion.’ Today it has become part of our everyday language and IT administrators consider it one of the best features of server virtualization.

The solution is also shaping up [...]
Why in the world would VMware invest in an e-mail and collaboration application?
Arm VMware vCloud partners. VMware wants to arm its partners with solutions that align with initial first movers to the cloud. They will likely be mid-market companies constrained for IT resources and ready to consume compute capacity on demand and e-mail services from [...]
Remember this sound? Busy Signal
I actually can’t remember the last time I dialed a number and received a busy signal. Answering machines, call waiting, call forwarding, call routing, etc. have pretty much made the busy signal obsolete.
