(RTW = Released to the Webtubes)
Today at the 2011 Microsoft Management Summit Microsoft announced the availability of the BETA of the next version of System Center Virtual Machine Manager – SCVMM 2012
Here are more details you should check out:
“What are you most excited about in this release, Kevin?”
Oh wow… several things I’ve seen, just off the top of my head:
- The ability to compose virtual machines from not only hardware and software profiles, but also applications.
- Being able to compose an entire service, built of a template that has, for example, different tiers of a multi-tiered application, with definitions of the number (and a numeric range) of instances of machines, with the load balancer and networking all configured as a part of the deployment. Drag your machine templates in place and LAUNCH. Amazing.
- Adding support for managing Citrix XenServer virtualization, alongside of VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V.
I’m downloading mine right now!
