Commercial announcements
Red Hat announced that
it has acquired Qumranet, Inc., developers of the KVM virtualization
tool. " Qumranet is the inventor and key maintainer of KVM, the only
virtualization technology that is fully incorporated into the Linux
kernel. Red Hat views KVM as the next generation of virtualization
technology -- it combines support for the latest hardware virtualization
capabilities and the rapid feature development of the Linux kernel into a
complete, highly functional, virtualization platform. Red Hat believes that
a strong coupling between the hypervisor and the kernel is a major
advantage." (thanks to Matt Domsch).
