Thursday released its Hyper-V virtualization server, which has been nearly five years and is a major play in the company’s march toward services-based computing.

Hyper-V, which was code named Viridian and Windows Server virtualization, hit its release-to-manufacturing (RTM) stage and will be posted on the company’s Web site today. It also will be available via automatic update starting July 8.

Hyper-V is free to users with a Windows Server 2008 license.

Microsoft originally said Hyper-V would ship “within 180 days of the shipment of Windows Server 2008,” which was Feb. 27. Most experts had pegged August as the delivery time frame, but in April Microsoft began to hint that the software would come in June or July. Regardless, the technology has been late in arriving given that it was originally slated for inclusion with Windows Server 2008.

Network security can be a thorny issue for small businesses because they generally lack pricey equipment and dedicated IT people who have the expertise to lock down a local area network. But addressing security is nevertheless essential: Just one customer data breach could easily wipe out a small business, and constantly battling viruses, spyware, and spam can sap employee productivity.

Threats may come from wireless deployments, too–Wi-Fi is a great convenience but also a serious weak point in most networks–as well as from Web site breaches and from employee downloads of illegitimate material. (Since you are responsible for employees’ use of your network, that last vulnerability can have serious consequences.) And that list doesn’t even count bandwidth wasted when employees visit sites like MySpace and Facebook, or watch YouTube videos, on company time. How can you secure your small business against so many disparate threats, constrained as you are by limited resources?

The task is actually not as difficult as it may sound, thanks to enterprise-grade security technology that has been trickling down to the small-business level. So-called UTM (unified threat management) security appliances offer one-stop “security-in-a-box” protection that even part-time network administrators can deploy.

Five hours after Mozilla officially released Firefox 3.0, researchers at TippingPoint found a vulnerability in the new browser. Since Mozilla is still working on a fix, the researchers won’t share details about the problem. Tipping Point ranked the severity of the vulnerability as high, but said that users would have to click on a link in an e-mail or visit a malicious Web page before being affected. So far, I still Belive Firefox Is The Best Browser.
