A lot of budget-strapped CIOs are going to be telling their systems and storage directors to take another look at consolidation this year. These days, consolidation means virtualization. Only recently, that mainly meant VMware ESX. That is still the weapon of choice for many reasons, but suddenly Microsoft actually has a competitive product. After a pretty feeble offering with Virtual Server 2005, Microsoft went the hypervisor route and now offers that as a built-in feature (excuse me, a “role”) on Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
