Last week Lanamark, another startup that, like VKernel, could be impacted by the launch of VMware CapacityIQ, released Suite 2009 R2.
And like VKernel, Lanamark is looking around, introducing support for Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, along with refreshed support for VMware (now up to vSphere 4.0) and Citrix (now up to XenServer 5.5).
Suite 2009 R2 also introduces enhancements to its online dashboard, but the most important thing is that the product can now collect data from up to 50,000 systems.
At the moment the company only offers a hosted version of its platform, but if VMware CapacityIQ will start to get some traction, Lanamark may be obliged to reconsider its go-to-market strategy and give the product on-premises.
