ESXFrame

I was reading http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/2008/08/our-vmware-cent.html#more Best blogs on vmware and EMC

a smaller number of hosts generating a LOT more I/O More VM per host more I/O

will need faster transports (10GbE), and where a slower transport is used (1GbE) we need higher port density I think Infini Band

end-to-end QoS mechanisms since it will be a unified fabric

you will need dynamic flexibility to add/remove/change all elements on the fly, non-disruptively.  High redudant hardware components

Certain core features, which were the battleground of yesterday become a given (virtual provisioning, dedupe, writeable snapshots, dynamic and auto provisioning, performance auto-tuning, etc) – every vendor has their own spin on these things, and they do all have a place in the VMware pantheon – customers should look at them and decide on their merits.   We can do them all, and we each think we do them better than others.   Most customers I talk to don’t even leverage what they already have

On reading above blog i can feel next generation would one big box of VMWARE with all stuff similiar like Mainframe, we will be called ESXFrame

Microsoft Office Labs

Good to keep watch on. Be effective. I like the email prioritize option. Most of the time I don’t want to read emails when I’m working, simple way is to close the outlook and that’s it. But most of time i have some important information stored somewhere in emails, for that i have to open outlook. Do not disturb mode comes to your rescue
