MS sets virtualization management tool pricing, ship date

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

While Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor has shipped, the software to manage it won't be available until near the end of the year, according to the company.

In addition, Microsoft says the software, Virtual Machine Manager 2008, would be offered as a stand-alone product unbundled from the System Center Server Management Suite Enterprise, which was introduced late last year.

The company disclosed on its System Center management blog last week that VMM 2008 would ship in the fourth quarter (between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31).
