昨天Sun's xVM portfolio开张. 这个项目对Sun很重要，对整个工业界也很重要，让我来介绍一些主要的部分：

xVM portfolio共有4个组成部分，: xVM Server, a bare-metal hypervisor that is easy to manage, xVM Ops Center, an "internet-scale" (i.e. oogles of machines) management product for it, xVM VirtualBox, virtualization on your desktop/laptop, and xVM VDI, virtualization of Desktops. The Launch Site 的工作做的相当成功，有不少公司主管参加会议 (but not just Sun, also Microsoft, Intel and CSC Financial Services), 还有展览和示范. 请看报导 SDN News.

Sun 和 MS 又在一起合作了 - 像这个合作项目 Metro - and they have agreed to interoperability between their Virtualization offerings - see the xVMBlog and reports at OStatic and BusinessWire. The press has done a pretty good coverage of the general launch, see InternetNews, VNUnet, TheWhir, TradingMarkets.

还有许多GLOG可以看到更多的报导, hopefully all tagged as xVM.

Added - Reflections and thank-yous Steve; the HPC watercooler folks Do a Recap that points to the community site at OpenxVM.ORG; and Marc writes about the Implications of xVM for HPC; the VirtualBox folks do a Summary.
