VMware vSphere 4.0 General Availability Announcement |

Today VMware announced the long awaited general availability of vSphere 4.0! But if your thinking about going bleeding edge err leading edge (which ever you like to think of it as), you might think again.
Although vSphere 4.0 offers many new and exciting enhancements (see our VMware vSphere 4.0 Set to Launch news blast), not only are some of the features not yet available, but upgrading an existing environment could disable some of the functionality currently in use in your 3.x environment. We put together the following software compatibility matrix to help you determine if an upgrade to vSphere 4.0 is right for you.

** vCenter Server Heartbeat 5.5 becomes compatible with vCenter Server 4.0 with the release of Heartbeat 5.5 U1.
*** VMware Consolidated Backup 1.5 becomes compatible with vSphere 4.0 with the release of VCB 1.5 U1.
**** VMware View Manager and VMware View Composer are compatible with ESXi U3 and later.
As you can see, users of the management and desktop products should hold off until the second half of 2009. Core virtualization features appear to be compatiable from 3.5 to 4.0 however you should test any upgrades rigorously in a dev region before promoting to production. Best of luck on your upgrade to vSphere! Add this page to your favorite website |

 For anyone who is not familiar with vSphere its basically VMware's upgrade to VI3 (Virtual Infrastructure 3.) Currently, VMware has the release date scheduled for Q2 of 2009 with some documentation on their site indicating it will be available to the general public on or around May 21st 2009. VMware is usually very good about sticking to their announced release dates, although some of new features in VI4 wont be available until later in Q3 of 2009.

 After a lot of hacking, we finally managed to bring our downloads area on-line today. We plan to fill it with open source, freeware, and self published content. We haven't done much to build out the categories/sub categories yet, but if anyone has any ideas or desires, please let us know. We are going to be tweaking the look and feel over the next couple of weeks and apologize in advance if it's down for maintenance.
