This document provides a high-level summary of Red Hat's virtualization solutions, including Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Some key points: - RHEV is Red Hat's enterprise-grade virtualization management platform and hypervisor based on the KVM kernel virtualization technology. - RHEV delivers high performance, scalability, and security for server and desktop virtualization with lower costs than other solutions. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 forms the foundation of RHEV and provides optimized virtualization features as both a hypervisor and guest operating system. - Red Hat has leadership in virtualization through its contributions to KVM and role as the primary developer

SECURITY
RHEV inherits the security features of
Linux and RHEL
SELinux security policy infrastructure
Provides protection and isolation
for virtual machines and host
Compromised virtual machine
cannot access other VMs or host
sVirt Project
Sub-project of NSA's SELinux
community. Provides “hardened”
hypervisors
Multilevel security. Isolate guests
Contain any hypervisor breaches
