Art Fewell takes a deeper look at the increasingly important role of the virtual switch. Even so, this Q&A session with Martin Casado on managing physical and virtual worlds in parallel might be worth going through the hassle. VMware introduced VMware NSX recently at VMworld 2013. Operating Systems/Applications.

This is an older post from April 2013, but still useful, I think. Intel announced the E5 2600 v2 series of CPUs back at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013 (you can follow my IDF 2013 coverage by looking at posts with the IDF2013 tag ). Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization. Servers/Hardware.

Following on the heels of this week’s VMware NSX announcement at VMworld 2013, I had someone contact me about a statement this person had heard. Basically, the statement was that it was possible to create do-it-yourself network virtualization. What are the core components of a network virtualization solution?
