Microsoft's Virtual Machine Manager to be ready by end of year

Microsoft announced earlier this week that its System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) will be ready by end of the year. This will bring Microsoft in line to ship within the last three months of this year, as promised many times previously. The SCVMM is Microsoft's first tool created to manage its new Hyper-V virtualization platform. Analysts agree that it is one of the key pieces missing from Microsoft's virtualization game plan. Indeed, the absence of an advanced management is certainly hampering the take-up in its Hyper-V product. This is because it is extremely difficult to manage any large-sized infrastructure without proper virtualization management tools.
