                    At this week's Microsoft Tech-Ed conference in Atlanta, Kemp Technologies released its Virtual LoadMaster Exchange for Hyper-V, a load-balancer designed to work exclusively with Exchange 2010 and Microsoft's hypervisor. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    I haven't found a public cloud provider yet that allows me to run a nested ESXi server as a virtual machine.

                    Six CTOs tell us what they think is keeping virtualization and cloud computing from proliferating, and offer solutions to get past those barriers.

                    Your vSphere infrastructure needs monitoring, and that's where vCenter Operations comes in. Let's take a look at how to work with it.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    I tried Xangati for ESX to find out why the tool was different from other virtual infrastructure performance-monitoring solutions. Here's what I found out. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    As a virtualization administrator, do you feel awkward building a physical server? 5 tips for making it less so.

                    Windows Server 2008 R2, Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 can only perform server virtualization using Intel's Core vPro processors if SP1 is applied.

                    VMware Lab's ThinApped vSphere client allows running the client without installing it. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    The typical IT gauges don't translate well for measuring virtualization efficiencies. You'll need to look at it from a different angle.
