What next will VMware release after VMware ESX 3.5? This is a natural question and I think it's not surprise that it might be VMware ESX 4.0 or something like this. The surprise is what the next generation of ESX might bring to us. Let's have a look at some of the new features:
- the service console and the kernel should run in 64-bit mode natively
- VMware VirtualSMP should support 8 virtual logical processors
- full support for SATA devices (we might be able to run ESX on PC?)
- clustered VirtualCenter Servers
- access control on storage resources
- automatic configuration changes tracking
- and many others
The list is not complete. Actually, it contains only a few of prepared features. The details should be unveiled at the incoming VMworld2008 forum as it is written at virtualization.info. I'm looking forward to it.
