The difference between VMware and Virtuozzo Containers is more than just the name. Only hosting companies using VMware can offer complete flexibility, security and capacity, as well as options for high availability, load balancing and disaster recovery.

Operating System Flexibility

A basic difference between VMware and Virtuozzo is that VMware creates individual virtual servers directly on the hardware, at a bare metal level, while Virtuozzo’s containers run at the operating system (OS) level.

All container environments running on the same physical hardware must share the same host operating system. This means that while each environment can run its own client OS, the one you can run on your virtual environment will be limited to those that are compatible with the host. Virtuozzo is limited to Linux or Windows at both the host and client level, and can only run a client OS on a physical server that uses the same host OS; in other words, a Linux client on a Linux host, and a Windows client on a Windows host. Of course, limiting the operating system also limits your choice of software to that available for Linux and Windows.

Running at the hardware level, VMware accomplishes virtualization by using a physical machine’s hardware resources to serve multiple virtual servers, each of which can run an independent operating system. In this way, VMware virtualization supports many diverse operating systems on any server system. This allows VMware to support a variety of Windows versions and many different flavors of Linux, including Ubuntu, SuSE, and Red Hat, as well as non-Windows and Linux operating systems such as Solaris and Netware.

With Virtuozzo, because your virtual environment must run the same OS as the host, you don’t have the option to manage and modify your own operating system. The need for uniformity extends to updates—all environments must run at the same patch level. That means that if your virtual environment’s software has not been optimized for the latest Windows or Linux update, and your hosting company installs it (on the host system and across all virtual environments), your software may function poorly, or not at all.

With VMware, you can manage and modify your own operating system, as well as run different patch levels than the host system. This offers your company installation and update control on your virtual servers, and the freedom to use an extended range of software, software releases, and even multiple software flavors on the same OS, such as SQL Standard, Web and Express editions.

In Virtuozzo’s containers, when you need to reboot your virtual environment, such as during a test phase, you’ll have to wait for a scheduled system outage for the entire physical server, chaining you to your hosting company’s calendar. Using VMware, you can reboot your operating system when and as often as your situation requires.

Finally, a hardware-based virtual server like VMware offers something an OS-based virtual environment does not and cannot offer—virtual memory. Virtual memory, called swap in Unix or page file in Windows, allows your applications to use an assigned piece of disk space as working memory when necessary to avoid crashing. Because all container environments share an operating system core, containers don’t have independent access to swap. Using VMware, your hosting provider can give you swap space or a paging file as large as that available on a physical server.

Security

Virtual environments that all run the same operating system are more vulnerable to both security breaches and simultaneous code faults. If the virtual servers on a hosting physical server are all running one operating system, and any of the operating systems are hacked, then they all are; if the host operating system experiences a failure due to a bug in the software, then they all do. This is not the kind of virtual server environment you can depend on to failover gracefully or recover quickly.

In a Virtuozzo environment, security is complicated by the need for OS patches to be certified by the company. That means that when a critical operating system patch is released, the patch must go through another layer of complexity and time before it is applied—time in which your virtual server could be vulnerable. If your servers are hosted on VMware, you can apply patches as soon as they are released.

On-Demand Capacity

Because a VMware virtual server can operate on any physical server in the network, and because VMware supports live migration or vMotion, your whole virtual server can be moved as needed to another piece of hardware—with no downtime. This saves your company data and time, and it could save you customers and money. It also means that when your hosting company needs to take a physical server down for maintenance or replacement, you never need to know. Unlike in an OS virtual environment, live migration will allow your virtual server to continue running on the hosting company’s other servers. This is a feature that Virtuozzo still does not have.

High Availability, Load Balancing and Disaster Recovery Options

VMware virtual server lets your hosting company offer high availability, load balancing, and disaster recovery, unlike OS virtual environments. With VMware, your hosting company can offer load balancing, so your workload can run on the physical server that suits your needs during peak times.

With an OS-level environment, it might be impossible to move live data from one server to another. Even with compatible operating systems, the server might require a reboot.

When You’re Looking for Virtual Server Hosting, Think Infinitely Virtual

Virtual Server platforms aren’t all the same, and your hosting company needs to use the most flexible, secure and available virtualization technology. VMware, which runs virtual servers at the hardware level, is that technology.

According to various analysts, the number one rival for Microsoft is Google, but a strong candidate for the second position is a company that is scarcely known outside the technology industry, called VMware. Both companies provide similar challenge to Microsoft, by potentially undermining the dominance of its most profitable products, desktop software and operating systems.

While Google provides options for the Microsoft’s popular Office products like free advertising-supported software for e-mail, word processing, calendars and spreadsheets online, VMware allows a computer to run two or more operating systems at once. Its software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter and hard disk adapters, and hence helps both the hardware and the operating system.

The feature discusses various reasons for the VMware’s challenge to Microsoft.

Reasons for the threat:

1.    According to various reports, more than 80 percent of virtualized computing workloads ran on VMware at the end of last year. And the remaining share was further divided in Microsoft, Citrix Systems’ Xen, Virtual Iron and others. Hence, in virtualization market, Microsoft has a long way to go.

In July 2009, Microsoft had introduced its HyperV virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 and some new features will catch VMware with October launch. A research firm projected that Microsoft’s share of installed virtual machine software would increase to 29% by the end of 2012, from 8% at the end of last year. But, VMware had announced that it already signed more than 21,000 new customers in the first half of 2009.

2.    Last month, the company had acquired SpringSource at an estimated cost of $420 million. SpringSource is a maker of open-source software development tools, which analyze and tweak the performance of applications. The acquisition of SpringSource would allow VMware to built applications like Microsoft Windows.

3.    Paul Maritz, a former senior executive at Microsoft, took over as chief executive VMware and adds an edge to its bottom-up challenge to Microsoft. In the late 1990s, he was regarded as Microsoft’s third-ranked executive, after Bill Gates and Steven A. Ballmer. In January, he was joined by Tod Nielsen, former Microsoft executive, who became VMware’s chief operating officer. Hence, the company has an edge over its competitors.

4.    VMware has been also planning to enter the desktop and notebook market. It will introduce new technologies by next year for better handling for high-end graphics and will allow users to do work in the absence of any network connection.

5.    VMware, Intel partner to sell VMware vSphere 4: Earlier this month, VMware Inc has announced an agreement with Intel to sell VMware vSphere 4 with Intel products starting from Q4, 2009. After the deal, Intel will provide VMware vSphere 4 through its worldwide distributor network to resellers and system integrators that service small and midsized businesses (SMBs).

6.    VMware had reported $1.9 billion in revenue last year, while Microsoft reported first revenue drop since going public in 1986.

Conclusion

In 2007, VMware had successfully introduced its initial public offering, which was one of the largest technologies I.P.O. since Google. Now, various PC makers are voting for VMware with the precious asset of hardware real estate. VMware is the market-share leader specializing in virtualization software and its majority owned by EMC Corporation. Hence, VMware is definitely a threat to the software giant.

VMware was founded in 1998 by Diane Greene, Executive Vice President of EMC Corporation and President of VMware. 

Greene brings over twenty years performing in the technological field, including technical leadership positions at Tandem, a firm specializing in computer systems highly resistant to failure, Silicon Graphics, a pioneer in 3D graphics, Sybase, a leading firm dedicated to information management, and is also CEO of VXtreme, which was created in 1995 with the aim of producing a video solution for high quality Internet-focused businesses. 

She holds a Master degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, also a Masters degree in naval architecture from the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and a BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Vermont.

Greene founded the company with the original objective of importing the virtual machine technology from the mainframe-class to standard computers. VMware (Virtual Machine ware) produced its first product, VMware Workstation, in 1999 and entered the server market in 2001 with VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX Server. With the launch of VMware VirtualCenter in 2003 and the groundbreaking VMotion technology, the company ranked as one of the strongest market leaders in the newly emerging Virtual Infrastructure. VMware has kept being the leader of the Virtualization market with advanced features like FT, HA, DRS, Storage vMotion, Snapshots, and much more.

I dedicate today’s article on emphasizing the differences between VMware ESXi and VMware ESX. As many of you still believe that VMware ESX is better than VMware ESXi, where another team is still wondering if VMware ESXi is better than VMware ESX. As the two products names & functionality is very similar, they can easily get you confused. I don’t think you should ask which one is better, but which one fit me the best. Keep reading to find out how they different & which one is best suitable for your environment.

The first thing you should ask your self: What are the differences between VMware ESXi server & VMware ESX server?

- The first major difference between ESX & ESXi is that ESXi has no service console, which means that you can’t execute any commands on the local console of the machine like its possible with ESX. Please note there is a smaller subset of commands that can be executed against the ESXi remotely using “Remote CLI”, which is sufficient for most users. To be honest if you are an expert in VMware ESX, then you will know there is a very tiny unsupported console on the ESXi which meant to be only used by VMware support.

- As VMware ESXi has no service console, the size of it shrinks dramatically. In addition it will require way less patching than the normal version. Remember the Service console is running a stripped out version of Redhat which will require way more patches than the VMware kernel it self, so by getting rid of that you can save a lot of the time on getting updates.

- VMware ESXi was originally meant to be distribute as a very small image, which get to be preinstalled by your hardware vendor on a small flash memory drive (or solid state drive as in ESXi 3 the size is less than 32MB & in vSphere its less than 100MB in total. Though now VMware ESXi is available to be installed by the user, as long its supported on your particular server by your Hardware vendor.

- Please note the free VMware ESXi server includes the file system and functionality, VMFS, VMware Virtual SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) – which is the ability to configure more than one virtual CPU per VM, but in order to run advanced functionality such as VMotion, DRS, HA, Storage VMotion, FT you will require an additional license. If you need a basic & reliable Virtualization platform then the free ESXi can do the job for you, & when you decide to grow up & you require more advanced features you will only have to acquire the feature license and enable it in ESXi. In the other hand, VMware ESX has no free version offered & you will have to purchase a license to start using it. Please note the minimum license of VMware ESX has plenty more features than what is enabled on the Free ESXi before adding any license to ESXi. Though you always can obtain a license for the VMware ESXi & run all the features supported by VMware ESX without reinstalling anything.

- Please note when you obtain the free VMware ESXi, it will not include any official support till you obtain a license. This means if you are keeping the free VMware ESXi you will have to depend on the community support till you obtain a license which enable many features as said earlier. Its worth mentioning though the VMware community is very helpful.

So again you might be asking yourself when to use VMware ESXi & when to use VMware ESX?

Which one is the right solution for my environment is it VMware ESXi or VMware ESX?

With so many hosting options available, it can be rather confusing what to go with. This isn’t referring to the many hosting plans that are on the market. This is referring to whether you should use VMware hosting, dedicated hosting, or shared hosting. In this case, we’re talking about VMware virtualized hosting and dedicated hosting since you want your website to exist on its own server and not have to share with others. The point is, it is a large decision to make.

VMware Virtualized Hosting

VMware virtualized hosting is different from any other hosting that you may research. You’ll find that it exists on a virtual server that operates independent of any operating system instead of it existing on a physical server that operates an operating system such as Windows. Servers usually have to have an operating system to rely on, but VMware virtualized hosting does not. It is an effective IT solution for your business when you want to manage your server in-house and want to do so in an effective manner.

VMware virtualized hosting also allows you to get multiple servers running in a matter of minutes without having to purchase any new hardware. If you have your own servers in which you require hardware, you can actually combine your VMware virtualized hosting and your hardware servers to make it all more manageable. Basically, you’re creating several virtual machines that are operating in one centralized area. This can save you both manpower and a lot of time. If something happens to your server hardware, you can quickly create more virtual servers to back yourself up. You technically have your own data center at your disposal that can do anything you need it to do with your hosting.

Dedicated hosting

Dedicated hosting is hosting in which the business leases a server that is not used by anyone else. It is not like shared hosting where several customers share the same server. This is a server in which you, the customer, can have complete control over it or you can go for managed hosting that allows the hosting company to take care of your server for you. If you have any problems, you simply have your hosting company take care of it. If you choose to do things in-house, you consult with your own IT department. It is what you find to be more cost-effective for you that determines how your server is managed. If you can afford an IT staff, you can do that. However, if you find that paying for managed hosting is the better solution, you can go that route as well.

The main difference between VMware virtualized hosting and dedicated hosting is the fact that you have to have the actual hardware with dedicated hosting. You can choose your hardware, your operating system, and other elements, but it can be costly. VMware does not require hardware, is not reliable on an operating system, and is vey cost-effective. As stated before, you have the ability to manage multiple servers in one centralized location. You do manage it on your own, but it takes very little manpower to make sure everything is up and running and to operate multiple servers.

Which is better?

Of course it is up to you as to what route you want to take when choosing a server for your website. You may choose that you want the hardware and other options that comes with dedicated servers. Then again, you may choose that you want to take the low cost route of VMware virtualized hosting and having a small staff manage it. Each has their own set of benefits, but only one is the solution for you.

Key No. 3 – 7 essential criteria for selecting your ERP solution and technology partner

Once you’ve made your decision as to why you are considering an ERP implementation (covered in article #1 in this series) and investigated the total cost of ownership (article #2), there are several aspects you should consider in detail when selecting a specific system for your situation.

The seven most important of these are

• Functional compatibility with current and future business requirements
• Total cost of ownership
• Operational Metrics
• Flexibility
• Time and ease of implementation
• Vendor support and relationships
• Industry expertise and customer references

A survey by the Aberdeen Group (June 2007) found when it asked respondents what criteria were most important in selecting an ERP vendor, “remarkably little variation was visible across company size … functionality is the clear top priority for all companies, followed by total cost of ownership”.

1. Functional compatibility

The first question you need to ask is: what applications can accommodate your business needs?

As Christina Soh and Siew Kien Sia point out (MIS Quarterly, 2005), vendors create enterprise systems based around a number of common structures – “ES packages are not custom-built for each implementing organisation”.

”Vendors must make many assumptions about organisational requirements in such areas as organisational policies, structures, standard operating procedures, user knowledge, and interfaces. These assumptions manifest themselves in the processes and features in the ES package”, which the authors refer to as ‘package-embedded structures’.

”ES vendors claim that their package-embedded structures reflect best practice, However, many customers have found that these configuration options do not meet all their specific needs, and many question whether the ‘best practices’ truly do apply to all organisations.

”Developers’ context – that is, their reference organisations – may differ from potential implementers’ contexts, particularly those located in different countries or industries. Even within the same country and industry, contextual differences can exist.”

The system should be able to provide functionality for all of your current and future business processes. To ascertain that this is the case, you first need to define and prioritise your company’s processes, identifying the core business functions and developing a comprehensive requirements list based on input from all stakeholders.

This means that, as Soh et al recommend, “implementing organisations identify, as early as possible, misfits between the package and their organisation. They should create a basis for ascertaining when to align through organisational adaptation and when to align through package customisation.”

’Misfits’, missing critical features or unsupported business processes, could be the elements that transform an otherwise great fit into a complete mismatch. Very often, these only surface upon implementation.

Buyers should be very wary of future promises from software vendors. If the system does not have the necessary functionality right now in the current release, then you should discount any claims of functionality being available in the future.

The Aberdeen survey warns that, while functionality may be the top selection criterion, “ERP is often considered a commodity today. Don’t assume the functionality you need is available. Take a ‘show me’ attitude in demonstration.”

One who has documented this ‘road test’ guide to assess the suitability of a specific solution is Esref Akpinar (2005), who describes a software selection process for a liner shipping company using fuzzy logic decision making. This entailed five scripted scenarios to understand how software packages would handle specific key operational situations. A demonstration evaluation document was prepared, with every question in the document given a weighting according to their importance. An evaluation table was prepared of the results of the demonstrations which clearly indicated which product best fitted the company’s operations and requirements.

2. Total cost of ownership

Prospective buyers should ensure they fully understand the true cost of ownership beyond the initial software licence fees and hardware cost. These may include costs such as those for integration, interfaces, systems communications , extra staff required, upgrades and helpline support. This topic is so important that it has been covered in great detail by the second article in this series, “Managing The Total Cost Of Ownership – What You Need To Know”.

3. Operational Metrics

It is imperative to ensure that not only the costs, but also the benefits of an ERP system are controlled and measured during the implementation project. The benefits generally come in the form of cost savings and operational improvements (e.g. lead time reduction). Cost savings should be built into budgets and operation measures progressively tracked.

Legacy systems often do not support the operational metrics and these have to be assessed manually. A key selection criterion for the new system is thus also the ability to support these operational metrics.

4. Flexibility

Can the application be modified and scaled according to the changing needs of a dynamic and growing business?

Look for an ERP solution that will accommodate new operating protocols, future business growth, market expansion and any other initiatives that might arise.

Things to consider when evaluating flexibility:

• System parameters and default settings;
• Customer screen and menu options;
• Tools for modifying standard forms;
• Data access options and custom reporting; and modular format.

5. Time and ease of implementation

Key questions you should ask regarding the implementation process itself include:

• How long will it take to implement the ERP system?
• Will it cause any major disruptions to your normal business operations?
• Is there an implementation control process (ICP) in place to manage this?
• What sort of business process re-engineering will be required in order to implement the system?
• How long will it take to train staff to use the system?

6. Vendor support and relationships

Your software vendor decision is one that, hopefully, continues well beyond the normal, five-year decision cycle. To that end, three questions are important:

• Does the vendor have a sustainable presence backed up by experience in your industry and a proven track record on installations to similar sized organisations as your own?

• Will you and your management team have a comfortable working relationship that extends to their knowing you and your business intimately? Do they show a sense of responsibility and accountability for making your system choice a success?

• Do you have ‘one throat to choke’? In the event that issues need to be resolved, do you have a direct executive contact who is accountable for making sure your customer service experience is consistently at the highest level?

• How many total vendors will you deal with on your ERP package? Sustaining multiple vendors is cumbersome.

7.I ndustry expertise and customer references

Key questions that will determine the reliability of the vendor include:

• Does the vendor have a proven track record in your specific industry?

• Can the vendor point to a number of companies in your industry who are already using the software and who will confirm that they made a sound decision.

One issue that cuts across many of these selection criteria is the issue of customisation of the software, so it is worth briefly flagging the topic in this context. As Aberdeen Group points out (July 2007), only 11 per cent of respondents to one of its surveys got away with zero customisation.

According to Soh et al, the simplest form of implementation – so-called ‘vanilla’ implementation – requires the organisation to bend to accommodate the software package. “[Vanilla] promotes organisational adaptation, either by conscious redesign and substantial change management, or by piecemeal, evolutionary workarounds, such as individuals and groups adapting. Their adapted practices lead to new organisational structures. Package [software] modification can range from customising the package code to interfacing with custom-developed modules or modules from other vendors.

”Users tend to push for package modification to minimise the amount of change they will have to make. Consultants and project managers tend to advocate organisational adaptation, to simplify package implementation and avoid the tangible costs (time, resources and risks) of package modification.”

The playoff between these two apparently conflicting viewpoints can be a key ingredient to the success of the ERP project, particularly the total cost of ownership, and should therefore be a prime consideration among your selection criteria.

Most Internet technology departments today need to reduce their expenses and operate with better efficiency, even if managing multiple servers, administering an entire network on a daily basis while keeping the end users content. Those companies that have to control the costs of administration while reducing server sprawl see virtualization as an increasingly key business resource. In addition, there are new opportunities to leverage hardware for redundancy to increase overall system uptime. When a business consolidates physical systems within the data center by using a virtual infrastructure, companies may experience better utilization of their resources along with an increase in efficiency and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Virtualization can change the total cost of ownership with faster provisioning and installation. As several virtual servers can operated on a single piece of hardware, the addition of another server won’t require provisioning, eliminating the need to spend time on ordering, scoping and configuring a new one. In only several hours’ time a new virtual server can be fully installed – much fasted than the two weeks or so estimated for installing a standard server.

The total cost of ownership is also affected by a reduced server administration workload. The administrator of a normal server will need to check the hardware status and server logs on a continual basis. VMware eliminates the majority of this kind of work, reducing the overall amount of time needed to properly support the server infrastructure. Time saved can be quite valuable to business, especially those which use a large number of servers.

Additionally, VMware can help lower downtime, as well as the costs of disaster planning and recovery. VMware is an excellent tool for businesses that must rely on the availability of data, as this new tool can manage risks while ensuring that the resources required are at the ready. During a regular data disaster scenario, long-running or unsuccessful data recovery campaigns are quite common. Often, equipment will need to be replaced, or repaired at least. Then the systems will need to be reconfigured and reinstalled.

These VMware systems can also help with quick recovery from a disaster, assisting in long-term business survival. Virtual servers can be backed up on another server. So, if the machine is damage, the server can be restored from a back up and put on to another machine having the necessary speed and power for it. That means that VMware can also reduce the costs of planning for a data disaster recovery, as these recovery sites can be virtualized to reduce the necessary capital expense. Both hardware agnosticism and the single-step file recovery featured by VMware can significantly lower the amount of time necessary to fully recover from a data disaster situation.

VMware also reduces the total cost of business server ownership through workload consolidation. As most of today’s servers tend to be quite powerful but greatly underutilized, VMware has the ability to leverage available resources to allow multiple operating systems on just one single server. A normal server is running at about 15% efficiency in terms of processor utilization, and about 30% memory. With VMware, now companies are able to install new, virtual servers to existing hardware resources, instead of having to add new machines to the environment. This can help to significantly improve the return on your hardware investments. VMware is able to greatly reduce the overall cost of server ownership, reducing business risks – particularly when leveraged properly in a particular server environment.

Torrents are a very popular form of sharing files on the internet.  Most torrent users find there torrents on popular torrent search engine sites and download them from there.  This torrents sites are frequented by millions of computer users everyday looking for bit torrents. And will all of the hustle and bustle that goes on at these sites you can make a lot of money from uploading torrents.

A little while ago a form of making money on the internet using free torrents become popular. People make money by becoming affiliates of companies that pay them every time a torrent file that they uploaded gets download.  They usually pay between 10-25 cent.  And with the amount of visitors that torrent sites receive that 10-25 cent can easily turn into hundreds of dollars a day with if an affiliate has a popular torrent for download. 

All downloads are tracked by the affiliate site and payments are paid out once by some companies and twice a month by others. There’s no limit on the amount of files that you can upload and downloads that you can receive so you set your on pay according to the amount of work that you put in.  And because people go to torrent sites specifically to download torrents your guaranteed to get a high number of downloads every time you upload a torrent file.

To be successful all you really need is a torrent client, a working computer, and a good internet connection.  The rest of the work is taken care of by your affiliate merchant and the torrent site that your using.  You just have to stick to uploading files and keeping your computer running so that people can download the files from you.
