Red Hat first included KVM virtual monitor technology in the release of his enterprise-level linux operating system. He wants to win his initiative in the virtualization market out of his vendor's plan.

"We plan to invest a lot in this area," said Jim whitehirst, CEO of RedHat ."

Redhat's enterprise-level linux 5.4 was launched on Wednesday. It will be the foundation of the next larger plan, not just virtualization but cloud computing.

By the end of this year, Redhat plans to add a project for independent virtual machine monitors and kernel virtual machines, and a project for desktop and virtualization management tools called Redhat Enterprise manger.

These management tools were developed based on the introduction of Qumranet technologies a year ago.

When the Redhat release said that RHEL5.4 with KVM configuration is the foundation of his enterprise-level virtualization project, he would not give up the company's open-source hypervisor product-Xen.

The Redhat plan is to provide a variety of options, he said, marking the 21 st century computer architecture system.

He also said that cloud computing and virtualization are the masters of the next era.

RHEL5.4 also supports Intel's Directed I/O (VT-d) virtualization technology, SR-IOV (single root I/Ovirtualization), and PCI-SIG standards. In addition, RHEL5.0 is compatible with AMD's Istanbul Platform.

RHEL5.4 has the following network advantages: Generic Receive offload (GRO), FcoE performance upgrade and hardware support, and device drive upgrade, such as disk and network.

For system administrators and developers, Redhat has upgraded its Systemtap performance monitoring tool to support C ++ applications with analysis and monitoring functions.

RHEL5.4 also contains a preview setting for the preferred directory for allocating storage locations for multi-core processors.
