New era for Linux virtualization

Red Hat will be in a position to offer Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM), the open source virtualization it garnered with the acquisition of Qumranet, in the first half of 2009.

Asked by CBR when Red Hat will be able to offer the KVM technology as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the firm's president and CEO Jim Whitehurst said it is "highly likely" that it would be during calendar 2009 but would not be drawn further.

Later at the same press conference, vice president EMEA Werner Knoblich seemed to have strayed from the official script, when he appeared to accidentally state that the work on integrating KVM with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) would be ready in the "first half".
