- KVM not Xen
- by servermaker March 20, 2007 11:29 AM PDT
- KVM is rapidly emerging as the winning technology for server virtualization in the Linux community, displacing Xen. Red Hat is now telling customers to "ignore Xen" and to focus on KVM which is getting far more traction.

- Red Hat not saying ignore Xen
- by Shankland March 21, 2007 7:21 AM PDT
- Red Hat has spoken favorably about KVM (see http://news.com.com/Red+Hat+endorses+KVM+virtualization/2100-1016_3-6159528.html for example), but it has by no means told customers to ignore Xen. On the contrary, it just began including Xen as the most prominent feature of its new RHEL 5, introduced last week. The company argues that its libvirt software will enable customers to use a variety of virtualization foundations, though.
