The World's Leading Open Source Virtualization Solution

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform provides dramatic capabilities beyond basic Enterprise Linux 5. Integrated server and storage virtualization technologies. In a single, easily managed product. With a complete and highly functional environment.

altWith virtualization that has the capabilities an IT organization needs:

  • easy to deploy
  • simple to manage
  • flexible
  • available

Critical technologies in a single solution. Fully integrated. Ready to go. No need to purchase additional products from multiple vendors.

  • Unlimited virtualized guests. Multiple operating systems, multiple versions, multiple performance and security settings, all running on the same server using Red Hat's virtualization technology.
  • Storage virtualization. Multiple guests, running on the same or different servers, access and share logical storage volumes and file systems. Reap the full benefits of server virtualization with shared storage.
  • High availability clustering and failover. Application and guest operating system failover.
  • Management. Includes comprehensive management capabilities

Integrated server and storage virtualization

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform provides a complete, integrated virtualization solution by including the Red Hat clustering support.

  • For enhanced availability, failover at either the application or virtual machine level is provided by Cluster Suite.
  • Global File System and Cluster Logical Volume Manager technology allows application data to be securely accessed and shared by any guest from any system.

Low-cost high availability for enterprise applications

For applications that require maximum uptime, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster with Red Hat Cluster Suite is the answer. Specifically designed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Cluster Suite provides two distinct types of clustering:

  • Application/Service Failover - Create n-node server clusters for failover of key applications and services
  • IP Load Balancing - Load balance incoming IP network requests across a farm of servers

With Red Hat Cluster Suite, applications can be deployed in high availability configurations so that they are always operational-bringing "scale-out" capabilities to Enterprise Linux deployments.

For high-volume open source applications, such as NFS, Samba, and Apache, Red Hat Cluster Suite provides a complete ready-to-use failover solution. For most other applications, customers can create custom failover scripts using provided templates. Red Hat Professional Services can provide custom Red Hat Cluster Suite deployment services where required.
