Linux specialist Red Hat has announced it is developing an embedded hypervisor product that it claims will complement, rather than compete with, its existing virtualisation strategy.
Heading in a different direction from its main rivals, Ubuntu Linux will use KVM as its primary virtualisation software.
Future versions of Linux will contain broader support for virtualisation after vendors Xen and lguest merged its technologies into the latest version of the Linux kernel.
Red Hat has released new beta versions of its enterprise and desktop Linux products, with improvements including better virtualisation and clustering features, to make the operating system a more stable platform for server farms.
Novell has released the first service pack (SP1) for its Suse Linux Enterprise 10 server software, which promises better virtualisation and high performance support along with improved security.
A new open-source virtual-machine project has quickly won Linux allies, but its arrival brings complications.
