Linux Vendors Try To Beat Microsoft To Widespread Virtualization
With Microsoft trying to ramp up its Windows Virtual Server for release next year, Red Hat, Novell, Xandros, and other Linux vendors are pulling out the stops toward virtualization in hopes that Linux might start to beat Windows as the base operating system of choice among enterprises and small businesses.
Also talking up plans and activities around Linux server virtualization are relative newcomers such as Transitive, Inc. and Virtual Iron Software, Inc.
During a a press conference at the recent C3 Expo in New York, Transitive rolled out the initial steps in a new initiative to migrate Solaris/SPARC applications from the Solaris 2.6 era onward to Linux, without source code or binary changes.
Developed in conjunction with Intel, the first two products will include QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux Xeon, slated for delivery in the third quarter of 2006, and QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC to Linux/Itanium, due out in the fourth quarter.
The two RISC-to-Intel migration offerings will initially work with Red Hat and Novell SUSE Linux, said Gal Chanoch, Transitive's director of marketing. "Other Linux distributions might follow," he told LinuxPlanet.
