Microsoft has upped the ante in the server virtualization space, which has thus far been primarily dominated by VMware. The Redmond, Wash., software giant has released its System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 solution, which the company has been working on for the last two years.

Right now, SCVMM provides systems administrators with a management view of virtual and physical servers, which lets administrators better manage dozens of servers.
