Red Hat has announced a new collaboration with IBM in enterprise virtualization that enables enterprise organizations running Power Systems to virtualize their demanding mission-critical workloads. The new inititative was explained in a recent Red Hat Virtualization Team blog post.
“Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization alongside IBM Power Systems makes new strides in the enterprise virtualization space, providing enhanced capabilities for companies looking to optimize their scale-out big data and cloud deployments,” the writers state. “Traditional virtualization benefits are evolving, including benefits such as reduced capital costs, faster provisioning times, and improved application delivery times. Additionally, organizations running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for IBM Power Systems gain a more centralized management experience with full visibility into storage, networking and infrastructure resources with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, a centralized management GUI.”
"Together, the integration of IBM POWER8 – with its capabilities for high performance – and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization’s enterprise virtualization and management features provide a strong combination – particularly for larger enterprise deployments and mission-critical applications," notes Adam Jollans, Program Director for Cross-IBM Linux and Open Virtualization Strategy, IBM Systems & Technology Group, in a Red Hat Stack blog post.
