Red Hat has generally made available the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for the Servers that include both of the stand-alone hypervisor and also the management platform. Both of these were firstly introduced at a Red Hat Summit held in the month of August.

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor has supported both of the Linux and the Windows virtual servers plus the desktops. Hypervisor is actually based on the Red Hat Enterprise with a 5.4 kernel and KVM, released earlier during this year.

Navin Thadani, the senior director of virtualization business at Red Hat has said that it has inherited all of the enterprise features of the RHEL version 5. He further said that the performance is on the basis of the bare metal deployments.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor can also scale up to almost 96 cores with 1TB of its RAM at its host level, and is up by 16 of the virtual CPUs with 64GB of RAM at guest level. Addition to this is that it also supports the live migration, features of power management, multi-part I/O, as well as the memory page sharing.
