Red Hat previews Terabyte-bustin' next virtual machine

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's commercial implementation of its 
| open-source KVM hypervisor, Enterprise 
| Virtualization 2.1 (RHEV) is just four 
| months old, but changes in server hardware 
| and end users' desire to run fatter virtual 
| machines has compelled Red Hat to kick out 
| another release.
| 
| The beta testing program for RHEV 2.2 
| opened up Monday, and with the next 
| release, Red Hat is doubling up the number 
| of virtual CPUs that a virtual machine can 
| employ to 16 and is quadrupling the main 
| memory that can be addressed by a VM to 
| 256GB.

Red Hat KVM Virtualization Finds Early Adopters 

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat launched Enterprise Virtualization 
| Nov. 3 based on yet another hypervisor, 
| KVM. Red Hat had arrived on the scene late, 
| what with VMware, Citrix and Microsoft 
| already partying like it was 1999 all over 
| again. I wondered how long it would take 
| for Red Hat to be able to demonstrate some 
| uptake of KVM.

Red Hat Revs Up RHEV Enterprise Virtualization

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux vendor Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) today 
| announced the beta availability of its next 
| virtualization platform -- Red Hat 
| Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 2.2.
| 
| The RHEV 2.2 release is the first public 
| announcement that Red Hat has made about 
| the virtualization platform since its 
| initial public release in November 2009. 
| The RHEV solution suite includes a 
| standalone KVM hypervisor as well as a 
| server virtualization management product.
| 
| On the performance side, RHEV 2.2 can now 
| support up to 256 GB of memory for a 
| virtual machine, which is a four-fold 
| increase over the 64 GB that RHEV supported 
| in November. Additionally with the RHEV 2.2 
| beta, Red Hat is expanding the platform to 
| support both desktop and server 
| virtualization management.

Red Hat soars with fat profits, design wins

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's exceptionally strong fourth 
| quarter and 2010 year-ending financial 
| report released earlier this week shows 
| that the company continues to defy the 
| recession with its strategy of building a 
| far-ranging services, middleware, and cloud 
| business on top of its server-oriented open 
| source Linux distribution. In its fiscal 
| 2010 fourth quarter Red Hat earned $195.9 
| million in revenue, an increase of 18 
| percent from 4Q 2009, one year ago, and the 
| company saw a 46 percent increase in 4Q

How much transparency is too much?

,----[ Quote ]
| The internal email âchatterâ list went 
| crazy. Responses ranged from the rule 
| followers--and a few sore losers--who 
| cried, âIsn't this a violation of your 
| employment contract?â to the hard core open 
| source crowd who said, âHey, Red Hat should 
| publish everyone's salary.â But there was 
| one passing statement that intrigued me: an 
| employee from Norway mentioned that he 
| didn't see what all the fuss was about; his 
| country made everyone's salary public 
| information.
