The Open Virtualization Alliance is celebrating its six-month mark, having reached 200 company members, up from the 10 that founded the group in May to tout the existence of an open source, Linux- based option for virtualizing servers. But what is there to celebrate besides membership numbers? Proprietary virtualization from VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix Systems became more deeply entrenched than ever over these last six months.
The alliance is supposed to spread the word that an open source alternative exists to the proprietary code. The OVA will document the KVM system , which is a highly efficient virtual machine hypervisor built into the Linux kernel. It also plans to aggregate and publicize best practices, supply deployment expertise, and air successful implementations, all in a bid to increase the popularity of the open source hypervisor--and slow down the VMware juggernaut.
