Red Hat announced an Open Virtualisation project at its Red Hat Summit in Boston this week.

The company's goals will be to implement a robust hypervisor in the Linux kernel based upon the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) facility and deploy a full suite of virtual machine generation and management tools to leverage hardware and technical staff resources.

Red Hat hopes that this initiative will help make it a leading systems software vendor both for managing virtual machine hosts and supplying systems to run as virtualised servers.

The Linux pioneer also announced the availability of its Red Hat Enterprise Identity, Policy and Audit product that will integrate and interoperate with Microsoft's Active Directory.
