Linux vendor Red Hat has bought its way further into the virtualisation market, to compete against VMware, Citrix and Microsoft, with a US$107 million purchase of Qumranet.
Linux vendor Red Hat has predicted that virtualisation software will be included in all operating systems for free, while setting out the roles of the two hypervisors it is working on for its own product range.
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.
Open-source specialist Red Hat has released the latest version of its Linux distribution, which will now feature in-built virtualisation and clustering technology.
In this candid interview with ZDNet.com.au, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst discusses why he thinks rival VMWare will fail, how the financial crisis will be good for open source, and why cloud computing will be the future.
A new open-source virtual-machine project has quickly won Linux allies, but its arrival brings complications.
Trying to take a more active role in open-source programming, Red Hat has created a team of 34 programmers to work on nothing but next-generation software.
Virtualised desktop environments, in some cases using Linux, are gaining in popularity as IT administrators realise they can deliver security advantages. We tell the story of one Australian government department and take you through the landscape.
Microsoft's Hyper-V is the missing piece from the launch of Windows Server 2008. We examine its background, and predict how the hypervisor market is likely to develop.
Production-quality XenSource virtualisation is the main selling point here, with optional clustering and storage virtualisation to go with it. But there's a lot more besides, making the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux a compelling solution for businesses of all sizes.
Early releases of the Xen hypervisor showed promise but had lots of rough edges. Citrix's XenServer 5, however, is very much a production-class virtualisation solution with features that match, and in some cases exceed, what's available on rival platforms.
Since Mac and Windows OSes now run on Intel-based hardware, shouldn't it be easy to run both on the same computer?
With one new product released, and one about to be, server virtualisation is becoming a reality in the low-end server space. How can virtual servers help you?
Virtual machines gained popularity as a way to emulate Windows on Mac OS or Linux. ZDNet Australia looks at the two most popular packages.
