Yeow. Awoke Saturday to some intense pain in my abdomen. I toughed it out until my wife had enough and forced me to go to the ER. I ended up in the OR by 1030p with an appendectomy on the schedule.
I am back at home now (out of the hospital less than 24 hours after I walked into the ER) minus my appendix with 3 laparoscopy scars to show for it and more great pain meds.
Just what I need at the end of a terrible quarter.
Citrix recently unveiled Project Kensho aimed to after the virtual appliance market with their XenSource hypervisor. While VMWare is pushing the Open Virtual Machine Format (OVF) Citrix is jumping on the bandwagon with Project Kensho to help push the standard forward and get them a head start in building virtual appliances on the Xen hypervisor.
It seems though that Red Hat and Ubuntu are pushing KVM where Novell and Citrix are trying hard to keep Xen in the mainstream. Microsoft on the other hand is driving their own standard with VHD. More “format” wars. At least now there can be even more niche players who tout working with the various hypervisors as the hypervisor begins to take over as the platform leaving the OS behind in the dust.
I will be interested to see where Citrix goes with this since the virtual appliance market is heating up especially with the marketing behind rPath driving virtual appliances, SaaS, and cloud computing into the forefront.
