Sun xVM Ops Center 1.0

Today is the day we finally announce the general availability (GA) if Sun xVM Ops Center 1.0!  It's been a long time coming, so I'm really excited.  We'd planned to announce this last month, but decided to fix up a few more things based on some early customer feedback.

This is the first step in a journey for this team.  Sun xVM is the first new software platform that Sun has built in a long time, and I'm hugely proud of the Ops Center team that has worked so hard to achieve this milestone.

For our potential customers, and for the Sun sales and services organization, I want to make it clear that this is just the beginning.  We know that Ops Center 1.0 will find uses in a range of customers, but we have so much more planned.  As we go out to work with our first customers on 1.0, I'll be sharing plans for upcoming 1.5 and 2.0 releases of Ops Center. 

These releases will make the platform even more exciting.  In the mean time, the tech pubs and marketing team put together a little a little "commercial" for Ops Center 1.0.  I've never worked on a product with an actual commercial before, so this is really cool.  Click on the thumbnail below to watch it.
