Hi, Directory developers, I've been meaning to ask the list if anyone had been following this topic; other articles are available if you Google:
"With VMware's help, BEA ditches the operating system" (URL may wrap) http://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid94_gci1234289,00.html I've worked a decent amount with VMware and Xen running infrastructure services. If not specifically any of the aforementioned vendors, then at least this model (VM tight to the hardware) has a lot of merit; partly for performance but mostly for management. I also think it has a big role to play in what we're trying to do at the Directory project. For a long time I thought JNode was the answer here, but this "operating system-less" model is even tighter. And we have a story, with IDfusion, for how to separate services to make realm control even more flexible. Food for thought. Enrique
