Red Hat debuts new hypervisor

摘要

Red Hat used its annual summit last week to improve the flexibility, openness and manageability of its Linux platforms, with announcements that it will deliver a new hypervisor and open source the code for the Red Hat Network Linux management platform. Red Hat last week opened a beta for a Linux-based hypervisor called oVirt that can fit onto a 64MB flash drive and boot on virtually any piece of x86 hardware. The company also announced the open sourcing of Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, an automated management tool for Linux that handles content updates, systems provisioning, updating and monitoring, permissions and scheduling on both physical and virtual servers.
