On contemplating the impact of his calculating engine, the world’s first computer, Charles Babbage wrote “In turning from the smaller instruments in frequent use to the larger and more important machines, the economy arising from the increase of velocity becomes more striking.” He said that in 1832.

I mention this because the idea holds true today—the bigness of everything, the immediacy of everything, the pace of everything—the greater the increase from one state to another, the more striking the difference. And that’s exactly why—when we put V-locity 4 trialware into the hands of virtualization wizards to test in their lairs—we want them to really, really put it through the wringer. The heavier the workload, the greater the application demand, the more striking the results.

Recently two virtualization pros got their hands on the V-locity 30-day trial, set up rigorous testing, and blogged the entire experience:
