More Mosso Virtualization Insights

Jonathan Bryce, co-founder of Mosso, is gaining lots of notoriety in the media for his expertise in deploying and managing a complex production environment that includes lots of virtualization. While Jonathan & team deserve their just glory for their achievements and pure smarts on the subject – Hyperic also manages to get a mention as well, since after all – the Mosso crew uses Hyperic HQ to monitor and manage their web infrastructure, including VMware.

Jonathan was recently interviewed on Inc.com. The “pithy quote” in this interview is:

Having a server is like having a car. Having 300 servers is like having 300 cars. There’s always one that has a flat tire or needs an oil change. There is always something wrong with one of them. Being able to separate the server software and everything running on a server from the actual physical hardware, it really helps with the management side of things.

And Hyperic HQ is the web infrastructure management software they use to help separate the physical from the virtual and all the software running in between.

Love the metaphor, Jonathan!
