VMWare, Zimbra and the Virtualized Software Stack

,----[ Quote ]
| VMWare appears to be positioning itself to 
| provide the virtualized or cloud-based 
| alternative to Oracle, Microsoft and IBM. 
| This is a very interesting approach, and it 
| will be interesting to see it play out over 
| time. With Oracle and IBM taking a more 
| systems-centric approach, meaning they are 
| both providing the storage, computing and 
| software stacks in the form of a system, this 
| leaves Oracleâs traditional hardware partners 
| out in the cold (HP, Dell, EMC, Netapp, etc.) 
| along with budding potential partner Cisco. 
| VMWare may envision themselves providing the 
| Linux-based alternative to Microsoft in this 
| game of strategic positioning.

Yahoo! spruces open source Exchange rival

,----[ Quote ]
| Amidst rumors that Yahoo! is looking to sell the
| company, Zimbra has released a new version of its
| Exchange-battling open source email and
| collaboration platform.
|
| Available beginning today, version 6.0 of the
| Zimbra Collaboration Suite adds several
| administrator and mobile tools as well as
| countless tweaks to the client interface. This
| includes client-side changes meant to facilitate
| the addition of Zimlets, those community-created
| mini-apps that hook into outside web services.
| With one Zimlet, for instance, you can instantly
| open a Yahoo! map when a street address turns up
| in your inbox.
