Sources at Red Hat call the new Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2 "a significant step forward for open-source virtualization". A core element of Red Hat's open hybrid cloud offerings, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is a mission-critical end-to-end, open-source virtualization infrastructure designed for enterprise users and global organizations. The platform is designed to meet an increasing industry need for open virtualization solutions without compromising performance, scalability, security or features. Version 3.2 adds support for Storage Live Migration; support for the latest industry-standard processors from Intel and AMD, including the Intel Haswell series and AMD Opteron G5 processors; and enhancements in storage management, networking management, fencing and power management, Spice console, logging and monitoring, and more. A new third-party plugin framework enables third parties to integrate new features and actions directly into the user interface; solutions from NetApp, Symantec and HP already are in development.
