VMware adds Linux, iPhone to virtualisation mix (ZDNet)

[Posted September 18, 2008 by cook]

ZDNet reports that the next version of VMware's VirtualCenter Server will work with Linux and the iPhone. "The VMware VirtualCenter Server update will run on Linux and will be supplied as a virtual appliance, which is a ready-to-run virtual machine that has been preconfigured with all the necessary software, Stephen Herrod said in a keynote speech at the Las Vegas conference. Herrod also said that a future version of VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client, which is the software used to access VirtualCenter Server, would be made available for the Apple iPhone and other mobile devices."

Who cares if VI Client is available on the iPhone -- when will a native Linux client be available? :-)

Awesome! Having to keep a Windows box around to run the, rather crappy, VC server is a major pain.

I see people commenting +1. Forget that. I say +5.
