Red Hat Targets Adoption Of Next-Gen Virtualisation .Introduces three initiatives -- Embedded Linux Hypervisor, Virtual Infrastructure Management and Security Infrastructure.
Red Hat has announced three strategic initiatives targeting enterprise-wide adoption of next-generation virtualisation. The company introduced embedded Linux hypervisor for hosting virtualised Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows environments. It has announced the beta availability of this hypervisor at www.ovirt.org. The hypervisor is based on the KVM project.
The company has introduced open source virtual infrastructure management solution will enable enterprise IT to build and manage internal clouds. The company has also released the www.freeIPA.org project to advance and deliver integrated security technologies such that virtualisation can be used ubiquitously across the enterprise.
Paul Cormier, president, products and technology, Red Hat, said, "Today's announcements are a key step in extending the benefits of virtualisation to every IT deployment. We continue to see huge improvements in functionality, performance and time to market because of our close relationship with our open source partners. For example, Intel and IBM have worked with us for many years covering virtualisation technologies that span from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to today's KVM-based announcements. We see this as the beginning of open source solutions becoming dominant in the software virtualisation market, as it has in others, such as Linux itself."
"The market for virtualisation is growing in India. With the added benefits, we will be able to deploy virtualisation infrastructure in Indian enterprises with greater flexibility and scalability. The enhanced features would help increase the rate of adoption of open source virtualisation in India," added Nandu Pradhan, president and managing director, Red Hat India.
