RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION FOR SERVERS: DATASHEET

RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION FOR SERVERS Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers is an end-toend virtualization solution that is designed to enable pervasive datacenter virtualization, and unlock unprecedented capital and operational efficiency. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers builds upon the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform that is trusted by millions of organizations around the world for their most mission-critical workloads, and consists of the following two components: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for Servers: A feature-rich server virtualization management system that provides advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, including high availability, live migration, storage management, system scheduler, and more. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor: A modern hypervisor based on KVM which can be deployed either as a standalone small footprint hypervisor (included with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers), or as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 and later (purchased separately) installed as a hypervisor host. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Robust virtualization management features Live Migration: Dynamically move virtual machines between hosts with no service interruption. High Availability: Virtual machines automatically restart on another host in the case of host failure. System Scheduler: Balance workloads in the datacenter by dynamically live-migrating virtual machines based on resource usage and policy. Power Saver: During off-peak hours, concentrates virtual machines on fewer physical hosts to allow some hosts to be powered down to achieve power savings. Maintenance Manager: Perform maintenance on hosts without guest downtime. Image Manager: Create new virtual machines based on templates. Thin Provisioning: Allows creation of desktops and servers based on templates by storing only differences between new instances and the base template, saving storage space.

Industy-leading performance with KVM technology1 Over 400 active workload VMs on a 32 core, 1 TB server Messaging performance of 1 million messages per second on a single server and low latency Up to 140% of bare metal performance with multiple VMs on a single server compared to a single bare metal operating system Up to 95% of bare metal performance for real world enterprise applications

See Library under http://www.redhat.com/rhev/server for the latest Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers performance whitepapers and datasheets.

Scalability Host: Up to 256 cores, 1 TB RAM Guest: Up to 16vCPU, 256 GB RAM Clusters: Over 50 hosts per cluster Predictable, scalable performance for enterprise workloads from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Apache, etc.
