Open source router on par with Cisco, users say

Cisco, Virtualization, and the Inevitable Hardware Upgrades of 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| So, if you're looking to run serious loads on a virtualized server, expect
| to upgrade your hardware. And you may need to expect a wait. Intel plans
| general availability for their quad-core Clovertown processors in early
| 2007. AMD's quad-core offering is slated for mid-2007.
|
| Many vendors predict that virtualization could spur the next wave of
| Linux adoption in the datacenter. Virtualization allows enterprises to
| run multiple operating systems on a single machine, allowing for a
| migration plan that doesn't require duplicate physical server
| environments. Dropping Linux onto a virtual partition is a great way
| to try the operating system if you're proximately a Windows shop. That is,
| if the hardware can handle it.
