IBM expands virtualisation scalability

IBM has upgraded its virtualisation technology, which now allows for over 1 000 virtual servers on a single mainframe.

EContent reports the z/VM release of the technology is designed to offer better memory support, which will decrease the need for multiple copies of the software. The new system will also support up to 32 processor units.

For Linux users, the software will make informed decisions about memory management, allowing for more virtual machines with the same amount of memory.

Content management software developer Bitrix has partnered with MySQL, reports Press Zoom.

Bitrix's Site Manager will be used to address MySQL's enterprise content management needs.

The management software was developed in PHP and can be run on both Unix and Windows platforms. Backend database systems that can be used include MySQL, Oracle, Oracle XE, MSSQL or MSSQL Express.

Open Text has received a records management certification with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 under the US Department of Defence 5015.2 certification programme, says CNW Telbec.

When tested with SharePoint Server 2007, the Open Text solution showed it could declare content that was stored in SharePoint, allowing the product to manage information and record management policies within Microsoft's system.
