(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Virtual server technology provider Infinitely Virtual (www.infinitelyvirtual.com) has completed an upgrade to VMware’s (www.vmware.com) latest virtualization platform, vSphere 4, increasing its operational efficiencies, and providing customers with break-though virtualization features, scalability and performance.
According to a Friday announcement from Altay Corporation (www.altayusa.com) subsidiary Infinitely Virtual, the upgrade to vSphere 4 was accomplished with no downtime, and has allowed customers to gain more out of their infrastructure. Further reinforcing the importance of virtualization in today’s hosting technologies, Infinitely Virtual looks forward to bringing customers the many benefits of VMware vSphere 4, billed as “the industry’s first cloud operating system,” and “the next evolutionary step in IT computing.”
“Infinitely Virtual is committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations for stability and performance,” Infinitely Virtual president and chief executive officer Adam Stern said in a statement. “By completing this ground-breaking upgrade on time and without service interruption, our team has again delivered at highest levels.”
vSphere 4 includes support for up to 8 core virtual CPUs with a maximum of 255GB of virtual machine ram, and can run on host machines that have up to 64 CPU cores and 1TB of memory. vSphere 4 workload throughput is improved as a result of resource management and processor scheduling. Hardware-assisted memory virtualization also reduces both CPU and memory overhead. As well, storage is improved through a new para-virtualized SCSI driver, and additional ESX kernel-level storage stack optimizations.
VMware vSphere 4 also lets Infinitely Virtual release new products, including those based on VMware Fault Tolerance, which provides continuous availability, without any data loss or downtime, to any application. Infinitely Virtual also plans to offer support for vApps, which ensures seamless application movement and choice between clouds using Open Virtualization Format to designate and enclose all components of a multi-tier application, as well as the operational policies and service levels relevant to it.
Since its launch in May, vSphere 4 has been downloaded more than half a million times, showing that the vSphere platform is being chosen as the foundation for running many businesses’ critical applications in the cloud.
