KVM Aims for King of the Virtual Hill Status
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's KVM virtualization technology is so
| advanced that it will inevitably consign the Xen
| hypervisor to the technological scrap heap.
|
| That's the view of Navin Thadani, a senior
| director of the Linux vendor's virtualization
| business. "We see consolidation as being
| inevitable, and in the medium term in this market
| we believe that will leave VMware, Microsoft and
| Red Hat," he said.

Will KVM KO Xen?
,----[ Quote ]
| Those looking to get their hands on KVM need look no further than the Linux
| kernel itself, of which KVM is part. This makes vendor compatibility quite
| straightforward: All ISVs that are certified for RHEL are also certified for
| deployment on KVM.

Red Hat makes KVM its Linux virtualization of choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite Red Hatâs surprising announcement last week that it would be
| partnering with Microsoft on virtualization, on February 23rd, Red Hatâs
| announced that it would be switching its virtualization strategy from a mix
| of virtualization programs, including the Microsoft-friendly Xen, to focusing
| on Linuxâs baked-in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
|
| KVM, as Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens admitted during a press call, is still a
| work in progress. But, Stevens assured the audience, by working with IBM and
| Intel, Red Hat will be able to deliver its full Red Hat Virtualization
| portfolio within the next 12-months. The first fruits of this switch will
| appear in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.4, which is due out in August
| 2009.
