After the press release of VMware ESX vSPhere 4.1 on Tuesday, i have been reading a few things about it. The biggest change from what I can see is that VMware have said this will be the last version of ESX, after 4.1 ESX will be the only version VMware will make.
This will result in more people using Powershell and the the vMA to manage there virtual machines. I personally have been using both of these management methods for sometime and so the switch isn't going to be a massive headache for me but I can imagine most people having problems switching over.
The other item i noticed is that the vCenter only appears to have been released in a 64Bit version. This from what I can understand is the resolve the very annoying problem with TOMCAT using loads of memory on the majority of 32Bit versions. I have never seen this on the 64bit installs I have done which leads me to believe VMware just want everyone to use the working 64bit version.
I have not had a chance to download the trial and play around but I think I will give the ESXI version a go once I have some time to play with it in the lab.
Thanks
