Motorcycle enthusiasts get accustomed to model names with lots of letters. While many people – even those with limited motorcycledom awareness –have heard of an Electra-Glide, only a few know an FHLTCU when they see one.Of course, IT companies are no different. But at least Sun Microsystems had a purpose when it decided that the “umbrella term” for its virtualization and management programs will be xVM.Those letters aren’t just there to look cool. The “x” stands for “cross,” the “V” refers to “virtualization” and the “M” means “management.”It’s pretty revolutionary, actually. Sun is not only helping enterprises gain efficiency through virtualization; it’s also helping them manage that often complex effort. CIOs might want to think about that as they ride to work on their CBR1100XXs.For more information, please visit www.electronicdatagirl.com
