New Generation cloud storage Ubuntu server will be officially released

The next generation of Ubuntu Linux OS will really help enterprises to upgrade to the cloud storage, cloud computing and other fields.

Steve George, director of Linux vendor canonical, says the Ubuntu server, which will be released April 30, will be able to migrate KVM virtual machines from one physical server to another, similar to VMware's ability to migrate virtual machines using Vmotion. Steve says that George, the director of the conglomerate in a typical Linux vendor.

KVM is the abbreviation of kernel Virtual machine, an open source hypervisor developed by Israeli company Qumranet. Red Hat bought qumranet last year. Qumranet's founder Avi Kivity submitted the KVM to the Linux kernel's development process, and its kernel was updated in early 2007.

George said canonical added cluster management software to the server to manage a number of integrated cloud resources x86 Ubuntu servers. If a virtual workload is assigned to the cluster, the new Ubuntu "Cloud controller" will determine which servers will be deployed without the management involved. In fact, it can automatically balance the load. This is determined by the policy, and the Cluster Administrator has set it up.
