Novell, Microsoft Outline Virtual Collaboration

AlexGr writes “February 12, 2007
Microsoft and Novell revealed another layer of their technical collaboration today.

Customers will be able to host SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 from Novell as a virtualized guest on an upcoming service pack of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1.

Users will also be able to host SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 as an “enlightened guest” on the next version of Microsoft Windows Server, code-named Longhorn, using the Windows Server virtualization technology.

Finally on the virtualization front, customers will be able to host Windows Server as a paravirtualized guest on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, using the Xen virtualization technology embedded in the Linux operating system.”
