Linux KVM Eyes ‘World Domination’

“BOSTON — Kernel-based Virtual Machine, or KVM, is a growing
Linux technology for virtualization. Speaking at LinuxCon this

“”We’re on track for total world domination,” Wright told the
capacity crowd. He might be joking, but KVM is certainly on a tear.
The project has amassed a number of big-name contributors, like
IBM, Novell and Intel. Red Hat itself jumped into KVM in earnest
with its $107 million purchase of Qumranet in 2008, thereby setting
the stage to distance itself from Xen, the rival open source
technology it had previously used.”
