Red Hat announces 'Integrated Virtualization'

NEW DELHI: Red Hat, the leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, has formally announced its 'Integrated Virtualization' strategy.

During a launch in San Francisco, company executives detailed plans for creating a Red Hat virtualization environment and working with partners such as AMD, Intel, Network Appliance and XenSource to simplify virtualization deployment for customers.

Red Hat announced it will support customers and partners with tools, services and technology previews that let customers deploy computing resources at the lowest possible cost while maximizing utilization of each resource over the long term.

"Conservative estimates show that servers typically operate at between 15 and 25 percent of CPU capacity, but with virtualization that could improved to 80 percent," said Brian Stevens, CTO at Red Hat.

"Our customers, who already see Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the choice for lower cost of ownership, will be able to ride this next wave of virtualization to further reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. Red Hat's strategy is to methodically target and reduce every cost driver associated with deploying

IT infrastructure, we believe integrated virtualization will be a major milestone in this effort."

Red Hat will integrate virtualization capabilities with its operating system and ensure all aspects of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, from management tools and installation to software management, will enable customers to deploy virtualized environments easily and effectively.
