Internet Research Group Publishes New Report on Virtual Appliances
Posted on: Friday, 1 December 2006, 09:00 CST
Internet Research Group (IRG) today announced the release of a new infrastructure report -- "Virtual Appliances - Virtualization Intersects Appliances (and more)." Virtual appliances use virtualization technology to abstract an appliance software image from the hardware while maintaining the packaging and ease of deployment of a hardware appliance. This report takes an advanced look at the long term business and industry-wide implications.
"Virtual appliances are an interesting evolution to network appliances but the potential applications don't stop there by any means," noted Peter Christy, co-founder of IRG. "Creating complete operating system and application packages and then being able to deploy them into a virtual infrastructure is a means, for example, of assembling diverse applications quickly without necessarily porting them to the same version of the operating system -- consolidation of different vendor offerings. This is as much a system design epiphany as it is a technical architecture."
The study is available now. A table of contents can be found at www.irg-intl.com. The vendors impacted by this report range broadly from the existing network appliance vendors (e.g., Cisco, Juniper, Riverbed, Sourcefire, Packeteer) to application providers (e.g., Ximbra) and platform vendors (e.g., VMWare/EMC, Microsoft, XenSource, IBM).
