Red Hat announced its intentions to go up against VMware, Citrix Systems, Microsoft, and Oracle in the race to deliver commercial-grade server virtualization for x64 iron back back in February, five months after shelling out $107m to buy Qumranet, the company behind the open source KVM project and one that was creating a stack for serving up virtual PCs. In mid-June, the standalone Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, or RHEV, hypervisor went into beta and in early September, an embedded version of the RHEV hypervisor was buried in the guts of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 release.
