欢迎回到“本周 Spring 动态”的另一个环节。今天迎来了新的曙光，更重要的是——vSphere 5 发布了，这是云基础设施的下一步！

今早发布带来的兴奋感让我仍然头脑兴奋。
这——以及最近发布的 vFabric 5——代表了云创新的下一阶段，也是将您的应用程序与 Spring 一起投入生产和云端的巨大一部分。

 <LI> VMware's knowledge base has <EM>so much</eM> knowledge, so much wisdom, that scarcely the  largest, and most scalable Not-Only-SQL solution can contain it. One of the many gems contained in this knowledge base? A recently added post <em><a href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2001172">on converting EJB applications to Spring</a></em>, which references the very <a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com/presentation/case-study-slides-migrating-hyperic-ejb-spring-jboss-apache-tomcat">successful  Hyperic case-study.</a> Check it out if you're looking for insight from the professionals on how to forge from the bloated, boilerplate ridden code of a typical EJB application a clean, scalable Spring solution grounded in best practices.
