UPDATED!

Enterprise ready

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 has more

than 100 new features to improve virtual

machine performance, increase manageability,

and enhance usability. It also includes scal-

ability, performance, and hardware support

enhancements inherited from Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization Manager is hosted on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6, and powered by JBoss®

Enterprise Application Platform. A simple,

powerful graphical user interface lets you easily

manage hundreds of hosts with thousands of

VMs—ensuring you have everything you need

to virtualize your most challenging workloads.

Fast and scalable

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization dominates

the independent, industry-standard bench-

marks for virtualization (SPECvirt_sc2010®).

As of January 1, 2012, Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization claimed top virtualization

performance scores for two- and four-socket

servers, and had the only eight-socket server

scores published. This includes the highest

overall performance score and the highest

scale-up of 552 high-performing virtual

machines on a single server.*

Easy to extend

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization has the same

hardware compatibility as Red Hat Enterprise

Linux. Extended reporting, virtual machine

consolidation, and chargeback capabilities

are a few of the software options available

from vendors at marketplace.redhat.com.

Our online marketplace helps you learn more

aboutcertifiedproductsthatintegratewith

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

Refreshingly open

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is built

on two open source projects: kernel-based

virtual machine (KVM) and oVirt.

KVM is a robust open source project

providing virtualization at the kernel level.

KVM is supported by leading software vendors,

including Red Hat, IBM, AMD, Intel, HP, and

SuSE. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

hypervisor is built with KVM.

oVirt is an ecosystem of projects offering

feature-rich datacenter virtualization

management. Red Hat has open sourced

the entire Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

management stack, and donated it to the

oVirt project. Through oVirt, the open source

Get virtualization that puts you in control.

Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization 3 has the features youneedandtheflexibilitythatwillcarryyouintothe future. All at a price you can afford.

Break free.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 is:

community—including commercial partners

such as IBM, Intel, Cisco, NetApp, SuSE, and

Canonical—continues to develop cutting-edge

open source virtualization management.

Red Hat also helped create the Open

Virtualization Alliance (OVA), a group that

focuses on fostering interoperable virtual-

ization solutions. The OVA’s mission is to

drive open standards and the adoption of

open virtualization based on KVM.

Remarkably affordable

Like all Red Hat solutions, Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization is purchased by subscription.

One yearly price includes access to software,

updates, upgrades, and technical support.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers

is sold on a per-socket basis for the hypervisor

and includes the hypervisor, manager, and

other features—including the power user

portal and reports portal.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for

Desktops is an addition to Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization for Servers and is sold in

packs of 25 concurrent desktop connections.

It is available with business-hours and

24x7 support options.

No matter how many servers and desktops

you need, Red Hat offers a lower total cost of

ownership and faster return on investment

compared to proprietary solutions.

Training Paths for Expanded IT Audiences

Multiple training paths allow for a wider variance of student skill sets.

Red Hat Training Paths

In today’s IT infrastructure, professionals are now required

to administer multiple platforms to optimize performance

and keep today’s complex datacenters running smoothly.

So whether your team needs an accelerated transition from

Solaris or to cross-train experienced Windows administrators

with the corresponding Linux skills, Red Hat offers multiple

training paths for wider variance of student skill-sets.

Red Hat Enterprise Performance Tuning with Exam







This course teaches senior Linux system administrators performance tuning for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It discusses system architecture, methods for testing performance adjustments, open source benchmarking, methods for analyzing systemandnetworkingperformance,andtuningconfigurations.Italsopreparesstudents for the Enterprise Performance Tuning exam (EX442).

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Development (RHD251) course

rapidly trains programmers to develop application programs

on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Topics include Linux software

development tools such as the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC),

Make, and the GDB debugger. Students also learn how to use

library functions and system calls to perform I/O, memory man-

agement, process creation, and interprocess communication

including network programming with sockets.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Internals (RHD361)

course provides experienced developers an intensive,

low-level examination of the Linux kernel architecture. Topics

include kernel compilation, debugging tools and techniques,

and internal kernel APIs, including synchronization, process

management, and memory management. These topics

provide a solid understanding of the kernel’s architecture, giv-

ing a useful baseline from which more specialized topics taught

in other courses, such as device drivers or performance-tuning,

can be addressed.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Device Drivers (RHD362)

teaches experienced C programmers already familiar with the

Linux kernel architecture the skills and strategies they need to

develop device drivers. The course covers device driver models

(including character, block, and network device drivers); device

interaction (including port I/O, memory mapped I/O, interrupt

handling, and DMA transfers); managing PCI and USB de-

vices; strategies for deferring activity using tasklets and work

queues;deviceregistrationusingtheUnifiedDevicemodeland

thesysfsfilesystem;andprocessinteraction,includingbasic

fileoperations,polling,andwaitqueues.
