"With the next release of its Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) package, Red Hat has finally rid itself of one of its most notorious dependencies, namely the use of Microsoft's Windows Server and SQL Server."

"With KVM having some of the biggest names in the business supporting it, there is little doubt that it will gain traction in the marketplace."

"But this is about more than VMware. In picking KVM, the giants are bypassing the open source Xen hypervisor, whose chief corporate patron is Citrix Systems. Jum Wasko, the director of IBM's Linux technology center, said that IBM will continue to support Xen, but all new development will be on KVM. IBM has 60 people developing KVM."

"The KVM virtualisation technology uses the Linux kernel as part of the hypervisor; it can run Linux, Windows and other guests and has increasingly replaced the Xen hypervisor as the standard in the Linux environment. The Linux 2.6.20 kernel was the first to include KVM and it is developed alongside the Linux kernel. KVM is capable of being scaled up to be able to support 4096 core hosts with 64 TB of RAM, and OVA says it holds "the leading SPECvirt performance benchmarks"."

"VARs and partners working with KVM potentially could see a boost in their sales, or at the very least, an increase in potential leads through the efforts of the OVA. It will be interesting to see if other vendors take part in the virtualization coalition phenomena, but more importantly, we’ll keep an ear open to find out if VARs and MSPs really find a benefit from these growing inter-company partnerships."

"KVM allows businesses to create multiple virtual versions of Linux and Windows environments on the same server, while allowing companies to save money by consolidating and sharing IT resources without the expense of a proprietary solution."

"Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that they are working together to make products and solutions based on KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) technology the open virtualization choice for the enterprise. Together, the companies are driving adoption of the open source virtualization technology through joint development projects and enablement of the KVM ecosystem."

"The operating system was made available for download on Wednesday. It is the first to drop the Xen hypervisor in favour of the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) developed by Qumranet, which was purchased by Red Hat in 2008."

"Other important features in Service Pack 1 are kernel resource management and support for up to 4096 CPUs and 16TB of RAM in a system. Xen is updated to version 4.0 and Novell SLES SP1 also supports the alternative KVM virtualisation solution. The drivers which Microsoft released as open source for paravirtualised operation when running as a  Hyper-V guest are included."

"Citrix and VMware have been leapfrogging each other in virtualization features, but virtualization is more like a marathon than a 100-yard dash. Perhaps the new kid at the back of the pack is going to be closer to front by the time we get to the finish line."

"Red Hat's virtualization engine, based on the open-source KVM project, received a big endorsement earlier this week when IBM announced that it had based its latest cloud offerings for test and development on the Red Hat commercial product."

"Two areas where Thadani said he believes Red Hat's KVM-based virtualization currently has an advantage over VMware are price and application support. Exact costs depend on the number of hosts and machines being virtualized, as well as the operating systems concerned. However, using RHEV instead of VMware could result in between 40 percent and 80 percent costs savings, he claimed. Red Hat guarantees that, because RHEV is built from the same kernel as RHEL, any Linux application that runs on RHEL will also run in a RHEL virtual machine virtualized on RHEV. If it doesn't run properly in this way, Thadani said Red Hat will provide support to fix it so that it does."

"He said that after examining the project's mailing list to gauge the activity taking place in KVM development, he found that there were some 884 unique participants in the mailing list, roughly equivalent to the number of active KVM developers. Those participants were spread across 382 unique address domains from somewhere in the range of 250 to 300 separate. According to Day, organizations that participate in KVM range from large corporations, to government and educational organization, as well as individual contributors."

"Red Hat released the first beta of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.5, providing memory allocation enhancements to the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor. RHEL 5.5 also introduces new storage and WiFi drivers, and supports new AMD, IBM, and Intel processors, says the company."
