IBM Wants Linux' KVM To Compete With VMware

,----[ Quote ]
| One of IBM's current goals is to "accelerate 
| the maturation of KVM as a world class 
| hypervisor." That may not sound like much to 
| the uninitiated but IBM has picked its 
| targets well in the past. Of course it's now 
| ten years ago that it announced its backing 
| for Linux.
| 
| Dan Frye, IBM's VP of open systems 
| development, commented on IBM's commitment 
| to help mature KVM during his address to the 
| Linux Collaboration Summit in San Francisco 
| April 14. KVM is the hypervisor first 
| produced by the Israeli company, Qumranet, 
| and added to the Linux kernel in February 
| 2007; Qumranet was acquired by Red Hat in 
| 2008.

Linux KVM virtualization gains steam in cloud computing market

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux KVM hypervisor is gaining steam in the
| cloud computing market, with two major vendors
| using the virtualization software to create
| cloud platforms to compete against Amazon's
| popular EC2 service.
|
| IBM announced in March that its test-and-dev
| cloud service uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual
| Machine), and now hosting company The Planet has
| built a cloud service using a version of KVM.
