Red Hat has announced a new portfolio of visualization solutions, including a new standalone hypervisor that will include Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology.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. Qumranet also developed SolidICE, a high-performance, scalable, desktop virtualization solution built specifically for virtual desktops, not simply a retrofit from server virtualization solutions. SolidICE is designed to enable a user’s Windows or Linux desktop to run in a virtual machine that is hosted on a central server.
It is based on the industry-leading Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) protocol, which overcomes key barriers to VDI adoption, including a superior user experience enabled by the SPICE protocol capabilities. SolidICE offers superiority over competition in three aspects:
- A user experience indistinguishable from a physical PC (Windows and Linux desktops) via the SPICE remote rendering technology
- 3-5x cost-performance improvement over retrofitted server actualization solutions
- Scalable, purpose-built management
KVM technology will also be included in RHEL 5.4, due out later this year, in order to support businesses’ “higher-end” workloads, Red Hat said.Red Hat is working on the problem and plans to rewrite the software in Java in the future; no date promised though. And apparently they are encountering a lot of KVM problems, slowing their work on the rewrite.KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a native or “bare metal” hypervisor that runs directly on x86-based host hardware, rather than running on top of an operating system. Red Hat is building the hypervisor into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), starting with version 5.4.
This acquisition adds to Red Hat’s differentiated and comprehensive solutions portfolio for the virtual enterprise, enhancing the opportunities for customers to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of IT infrastructure. Red Hat’s solution components include:
- High availability clustering solutions
- Integrated security infrastructure
- The industry’s leading open source operating system, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with built-in virtualization
- An embedded hypervisor which supports all major operating systems
- A consistent management platform for both virtual and physical systems, uniting servers, desktops, storage and networks
- A defining cloud and grid management solution
- Advanced, high-speed inter-application messaging

How do I network a Suse installed machine with other computers, specifically Red hat Linux?How do I network a Suse installed machine with other computers, specifically Red hat Linux?
This is for a school project, and I can't find any pages that tell how to network a Suse to other computers except how to use a printer.
