The Intel Xeon processor and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 also accelerate enterprise cloud deployments, since the combined technologies provide flexibility and automation to dynamic and heterogeneous workload and infrastructure environments in data centers. With excellent support for next-generation Intel Virtualization Technology integrated into the kernel, Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides excellent performance for both Linux and Windows* guests. Virtualization with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 not only delivers cutting-edge management, availability, and live migration features, but it does so at large scale with support for up to 500 guests, allocating up to 16 virtual processors with 64 GB of RAM each. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers is an end-to-end virtualization platform that builds on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and consists of the following components: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for Servers. A feature-rich server virtualization management system that provides advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, including high availability, live migration, storage management, system scheduler, and more. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. A modern hypervisor using Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology, which can be deployed either as a standalone bare-metal hypervisor (included) or with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (purchased separately) installed as a hypervisor host and managed through Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for Servers. These pieces can be complemented by a host of comprehensive offerings available from Red Hat Services. Designed to speed time to implementation while maximizing ROI and related skill sets, Red Hat Training and Red Hat Consulting provide the means for customers to optimize Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and core competencies in any environment. For a full list of service offerings, including assessment and implementation services, training, and the new Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA), visit: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization uses Huge Pages to increase the efficiency of memory-demanding applications, when this feature is configured for KVM guests. This capability prevents memory pages from being swapped out, reducing the kernel s memory-management overhead. Another significant contributor to virtualized performance is Red Hat s continuing leadership in support for the Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) specification, which was created by the standards body PCI-SIG* with contributions from Intel and other industry leaders. In conjunction with SR-IOV, Red Hat Enterprise Linux allows a server adapter to define itself as several I/O devices of the same type to the hypervisor, each of which has its own independent memory space, interrupts, and direct memory access (DMA) streams. Those resources can be allocated to individual virtual machines, effectively bypassing the need to negotiate among them to decrease overhead and increase overall performance. By combining Red Hat Enterprise Linux*, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, and the new Intel Xeon processors, customers are offered an easy way to manage and deploy solution stacks with use cases from bare-metal through the cloud. Customers cut costs with very high consolidation ratios, [gain] the ability to pool resources among different generations of servers, and [can support] up to 500 guests. - Paul Cormier, Executive Vice President and President, Products and Technologies, Red Hat 6
