Digg This!
Carmine can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site now and goes on sale next month as a bundle called System Center Management Suite Enterprise that includes System Center stuff like Configuration Manager 2007, Operations Manager 2007 and Data Protection Manager 2007 for $860 per physical host supporting an unlimited number of VMs. In January Microsoft should have a $499 SCVMM 2007 Workgroup Edition that can manage an unlimited number of virtual machines across, at most, five physical hosts. Cross-platform support for VMware and Xen awaits the release of Viridian, which appears to be the second half of next year.
