Red Hat and Microsoft continue the virtual possibilities
RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that customers can now deploy fully supported virtualization environments that combine Microsoft Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In response to customer demand for interoperability in their IT environments, Red Hat and Microsoft have completed testing and validation for mutual customers using server virtualization. Joint support from Red Hat and Microsoft for these configurations is available today.
In February 2009, Red Hat and Microsoft announced agreements to validate and support the companies’ corresponding virtualization and operating system platforms. The agreements have enabled today’s delivery of expanded virtualization interoperability through the cross-certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows Server.
Customers can now deploy tested and supported heterogeneous, virtualized Red Hat and Microsoft solutions. The completed certifications include:
- Validation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, using the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor, with Windows Server 2003, 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 guests.
- Certification of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 host with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 guests.
Anything Microsoft and Red Hat can do to bring enhanced functionality to their virtualization offerings has to be a good thing for the end user community. I’m off to check out more.
