"As is usual when dealing with mobile operators and corporate IT, some caveats apply. So far only Android devices will work with the Horizon hypervisor with VMware unable to offer the benefits of a hypervisor-enabled virtualization on Apple’s iOS devices including the iPad and iPhone for Verizon. Steve Herrod, the CTO of VMware, said in an interview that’s he’s happy to do it when Apple decided to let others play around with its operating system. Meanwhile he reiterated that eventually he hopes to get VMware’s Horizon product written into the Android code."

"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 the release of Java 7 this week, Oracle posted a support policy expressly stating that it would not support the new Java 7 software development kit on VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. Oracle has since said that it “mistakenly created” the policy page, but that the company will stick to its standard policy regarding non-Oracle components in a mixed stack: They’re not supported unless users can prove the problem stems from the Oracle part of the stack."

"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."

"We prefer to keep our Windows VMs as separate as is machinely possible from the Mac, for the obvious security issues associated with running Windows anywhere."

"Some of the first fruits of a European Union-funded project led by IBM are making their way into the field of cloud computing, in the form of a virtual machine migration technology."

"In two or three years, Whitehurst predicts, virtualisation and cloud tools will still be a minority of Red Hat's revenue, compared to subscription fees of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, though it will be a "substantial" minority of the revenue by then.

On Tuesday, Red Hat reported gains in both revenue and net income for its fiscal 2011 first quarter. It reported net income of US$24.1 million -- up from $18.5 million a year earlier -- and revenue of $209 million, of which $179 million was from subscription revenue. "

"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."

"In fact, as a Mac user, you're uniquely positioned because an Intel Mac is the only computer in the world that can legally run all three major operating systems, Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Indeed, you can, if you like, load all three on the same computer and pick which one you want to load when you switch your Mac on."

"Userful Corporation, the world leader in multiseat Linux desktop virtualization, today announced that 30,000 schools worldwide have chosen Userful virtual desktops to reduce computing costs and improve computer-to-student ratios. Microsoft recently announced its own multi-seat solution, Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2010, seven years after Userful pioneered the technology on Linux back in 2002.  Another classic case of Linux vs. Windows, only this time Linux has the upper hand with Userful having already sold 750,000 seats."

"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."

"Microsoft, however, appears to be giving the concept somewhat shorter shrift than it is due, perhaps because VDI clashes somewhat with the company's fat (or rich, if you prefer) client business model. If desktops begin to migrate to the server room, they'll be migrating to a place where Microsoft wields significantly less control than they do in the desktop and notebook realm."

"In response to archrival Red Hat (NYSE: RHT)'s flurry of virtualization announcements this month, Novell (NSDQ: NOVL), has agreed to collaborate with VMware to help developers create virtual appliances for SuSE Linux Enterprise. The collaborative deal affords ISVs using VMware Studio a free evaluation redistribution of appliances built on SuSE Linux Enterprise. The offer is designed to help developers simplify the process of creating virtual appliances."
