Red Hat beta revs KVM hypervisor to 3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Commercial Linux distributor Red Hat is kicking out the first beta of its
| Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 hypervisors for servers and desktops. This
| brings the free-standing hypervisor up to par with the KVM hypervisor that was
| embedded in the company's Enterprise Linux 6.1 distro for servers , which came
| out in May.
|
| KVM is an open source alternative to the Xen hypervisor for x64-based
| machines, which Red Hat took control of when it bought Qumranet in September
| 2008 for $107m. Qumranet took the QEMU hardware emulator and paired it with a
| Linux kernel module to virtualize x86 and x64 machines (with the intent
| originally being to create virtual desktops) and paired it up with a .NET-
| based management console that ran on a Windows server called Solid ICE. Since
| acquiring Qumranet, Red Hat's customers had to use a Windows-based machine to
| manage their free-standing RHEV hypervisors, somewhat embarrassingly.
