2nd day at foss.in 2008
Well… 2nd day, I didn’t enjoyed much except the talks i had with VMware engineers…
They were doing demo of their new product : ESX 3i
ESX 3i virtualization platform (OS), has been reduced from about 2GB [ ESX] in size down to an incredible 32MB in size. This is possible because the Linux service console has been removed and what is left is the small ESX Hypervisor kernel. In actuality, the hypervisor that really provides the virtualization services has always been about 32MB. Over time, VMware has been moving management functions out of the service console and into remote management tools.
The benefit to going to 3i is that there is no installation (if it is embedded in the server when you buy it) and it is simple configure. 3i is great for people who are new to virtualization and also for existing customers who want to simplify their ESX installation.
Since the ESXi is just 32 MB, you may be able to install the Vmware server in a USB? Well Ii will try this when i get some time..
And you know, its free downloadable..
