Linux giant Red Hat is moving the ball forward on its mission of becoming a key virtualization and cloud infrastructure player. To that end, the company has announced the latest release of its Enterprise Virtualization hypervisor, version 2.2.
With this latest release, Red Hat said it has updated the virtualization platform to include new scalabilities, migration tools, and additional features to expand on performance and security. Version 2.2 also brings Red Hat technology into the world of desktops.

With its Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) solution, Red Hat is on a mission to increase scalability and quickly catch up to the competition, which has quite a few more years on the company at this point. With RHEV 2.2, Red Hat has turned up the scalability dial by doubling the number of virtual CPUs that it can support in a single virtual machine from 8 to 16. The addressable amount of memory by a virtual machine has been quadrupled from 64GB to 256GB since the RHEV 2.1 release.
