SpringSource Delivers Spring 3.0, Focused on Web Apps
SpringSource (which, it's easy to forget, is now a division of VMware), introduced Spring 3.0 today, a major new version of the company’s Java development framework. SpringSource is targeting developers focused on web and service-based applications with the new release. This release of Spring's framework is the first since VMware's acquisition of the company, and version 3.0 is backward compatible with version 2.5. It has full REST support for web applications.
Eucalyptus Systems Bridges Private and Public Clouds
On the heels of the launch and funding of open source cloud computing player Eucalyptus Systems, the company has now announced its first commercial product. The Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (EEE) enables customers to implement an on-premise Eucalyptus cloud with VMware'VSphere virtualization platform, and ESX hypervisor.
VSphere is VMware's cloud operating system. Not only will Eucalyptus' EEE solution allow on-premise Eucalyptus clouds on VMware's platform, but it also supports other hypervisors, including Xen and KVM. With EEE, users can leverage all of these environments, and additonally develop applications compatible with Amazon's EC2.
Headlines From This Week on Enterprises and Open Source
It's only Tuesday, and this week is already bringing a flood of news relevant to open source and enterprises. There are quite a few open source-related headlines coming out of VMware's VMworld 2009 show in San Francisco, Red Hat Summit is underway in Chicago, with news on JBoss and more, and there are even some enterprise- and open source-related questions surrounding Apple's new Snow Leopard operating system. Here are the details.
VMWare slowing down Fedora?
I installed VMWare on Fedora and it seems like Fedora is running much slower.
I used to run OpenSUSE with a trial of VMWare and everything ran great. I reinstalled OpenSUSE on a new machine but I had problems because it couldn't detect my video card. I installed the 32bit Fedora instead and was able to find my card. I bought VMWare (I need some Windows software for work) but it runs slow, access to the DVD drives is slow and running XP while working in Fedora is slow. This was not the case last year. In general, it seems that my Fedora is not as fast as it should be.
Anyone else having similar issues??

How do I access my Mac File System on my VM?
I setup a Windows XP VM on Fusion but can't access my OS X documents folder, file system through the XP interface. Any ideas/tips on how I can do this?
Open source alternative to VMWare Fusion?
Any good open source virtualization tools that can be substituted for VMWare Fusion on OS X?
Xen in RedHat vs VMware ESX
Okay - ESX is the bare-metal virtualization product from VMware. Any word on how it stacks up against RedHat AS 5.x? I am told that RHAS uses Xen. How does that stack up? How about against other distros?
