Key Areas of Strong Adoption Emerge for Open Source Hypervisor KVM In a new blog, titled "KVM Goes to Work," Jean Staten Healy, Director, Worldwide Linux and Open Virtualization at IBM, looks at the key areas for KVM's growing strength in the enterprise: Over the past year, we have seen a marked shift in the conversation around KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). Questions early on focused on whether the open source hypervisor could be trusted as an enterprise-grade virtualization solution. We think that question has been answered with a resounding "Yes, KVM is ready for business!" Most recently, we demonstrated with a first-ever virtualized x86 TPC-C benchmark result that even the most demanding and complex workloads can be virtualized - with KVM.
