London Stock Exchange creates virtual Turquoise access ahead of Linux big-bang
,----[ Quote ]
| An âultra-fastâ link between the datacentres
| of the London Stock Exchange and Turquoise
| has gone live, gearing the dark pool trading
| venue for a big-bang Linux migration.
|
| Traders with hosted systems at the LSE are
| now able to access Turquoise on the free
| fast link, ahead of Turquoiseâs migration to
| the Millennium Exchange platform, which is
| Linux and Sun Solaris Unix-based, with
| Oracle databases. Turquoise currently runs
| on the Java-based Tradexpress platform from
| supplier Cinnober.

Stacking up the hypervisors
,----[ Quote ]
| It was initially offered by many companies
| including major Linux distributors such as
| Red Hat and Novel, Virtual Iron (bought by
| Oracle), Oracle and Citrix but there's been
| some consolidation in the market. Red Hat
| and Novell steered away from Xen and
| committed to rival open-source KVM while
| Oracle-Sun-Virtual Iron and Citrix stuck
| with it.
|
| The Linux players still have to support
| their own operating system distros - the
| main part of their businesses - so that's
| what they wanted to focus on. The
| development effort around Xen didn't
| leverage the development of their OS
| products as much as they liked. Their
| mainline Linux development diverged from the
| hypervisor too much and they wanted to bring
| that back together.
|
| KVM makes more use of operating system
| developments than Xen, which is more focused
| on the hypervisor. So it's useful for Oracle
| where the operating system is a secondary
| business.
| If your interest in a pure hypervisor is
| more important than Linux per se, Xen is
| more relevant.
|
| But if you're more interested in Linux,
| that's where KVM comes to bear.
