Now that the dust has settled a bit around VMware announcing their integrated hypervisor VMware ESX Server 3i , more information is starting to leak out. From the start of the rumors Dell seemed to be the first big player to come out with a special server just for VMware ESX Server 3i. Well it seems the rumor was indeed true. At VMworld, when ESXi was announced VMware indeed used a new Dell server specially equipped for (VMware ESX Server 3i ) virtual workloads. This server is now being called "VESO" and has a pretty nice hardware stup: 2 x AMD quad-core Opteron 16 memory slots, 4 PCI slots and four NICs.
At the Direct2Dell.com there is a five minute webcast where David Schmidt shows of the new server. Not much to see really but worth a watch anyway. If still crave more information, VMware also has published the slidedeck that was used for the VMworld session where Vmware ESX Server 3i was introduced. Check that out here.
