SWsoft introduces New (read old) Features

The funny thing is that Information Week is reporting this as if it is a new idea... Those smart people at SWsoft! Sorry, it is still early in the morning... I'm sure that SWsoft has a good product, but I don't know that it is really virtualization so much as partitioning or something. When I was looking into ESX for the first time, I was at a trade show where SWsoft had a booth. They were trying to explain how they differed from VMware. It never really sunk in, I guess I'm either too thick or their guys were just way too confusing. Either way, I've talked to a few people since then that use their stuff and are very happy... So, true virtualization or not, they must make a good product.

  • It's my understanding that SWSoft truly is more "partitioning" than virtualization. They don't virtualize the hardware, and they don't require that you run multiple copies of the OS--this, they claim, is what gives them such great performance benefits. However, it also makes it impossible to do what VMware does--run multiple operating systems on the same hardware. That, in my eyes, is VMware's greatest strength.
