In a new blog, Jean Staten Healy, Director, Worldwide Linux and Open Virtualization, IBM, reflects on the latest Red Hat Summit held earlier this month in Boston. “As I left the conference this year, I was struck by the thought that something was very different,” she writes. “Whether customers are discussing the use of KVM in the cloud, or adding it as a second hypervisor for 'hyperdiversity,' the debate about whether KVM is technically ready is now over. It has achieved impressive SPECvirt and TPC-C benchmarks, security certifications, and according to IDC, is showing impressive growth in unit shipments. We are no longer explaining what KVM is. Instead, this year, we were able to show a robust portfolio of clients that have realized success with KVM. The conversation around KVM has changed.”
