Big Tech Vendors Form Open Virtualization Alliance - InformationWeek

| | TrackBacks (0)
Seven vendors this week launched the Open Virtualization Alliance, an organization aimed at promoting the Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for enterprise applications. Initially formed by Red Hat and IBM, the Alliance also includes Intel, HP, BMC Software, Eucalyptus and SUSE Linux and is aiming to attract others involved with enterprise virtualization. The members clearly hope that KVM can provide an alternative to VMware, though they appear to have slightly different aims: the hardware vendors want to commoditize the hypervisor, the software vendors to leverage it as a way to sell service and support.

For the hardware vendors, KVM is a way to shift the focus from the hypervisor to other areas such as management or services. "IBM is agnostic; one size does not fit all," said Fry. He emphasized that IBM remains committed to VMware and Microsoft's Hyper-V , likening the company's support of multiple hypervisors to its support of multiple chips.
