By: Colin Saldanha - Procre8.biz Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and its Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor technology have experienced strong momentum and support leading up to today’s 3.0 Beta release. Customers such as DreamWorks Animation and NTT Communications have announced that their cloud services and offerings are built using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. In addition, in collaboration with other industry leaders, Red Hat helped to establish the Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA) to promote KVM as an open alternative to proprietary virtualization solutions. The OVA has been well-received by the industry with significant growth in membership. Further, KVM has powered the majority of published SPECvirt 2010 benchmark results at www.spec.org, including the highest score and highest scale-up overall, clearly demonstrating its performance excellence. Today’s Beta of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 previews several key enhancements, including: • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is now a Java application running on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform on Red Hat Enterprise Linux • An updated KVM hypervisor based on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 • Industry- • A power user portal that allows end users to provision virtual machines, define templates and administer their own environments • A RESTful API that allows all aspects of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to be managed and configured programmatically • New multi-level administrative capabilities, improving product functionality for very large deployments • New local storage capabilities • An integrated and embedded reporting engine allowing for analysis of historic usage trends and utilization reports • SPICE WAN optimization and enhanced performance including dynamic compression and automatic tuning of desktop effects and color depth. The new version of SPICE also features enhanced support for Linux desktops.
