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
about certified products that integrate with
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
you need and the flexibility that will carry you into the
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.

Red Hat
Training and Certification
When organizations include Red Hat Training as part of
a deployment and maintenance strategy, they can maximize
the value and performance of their open source technologies.
Red Hat Training arms IT organizations with the knowledge
and proven, hands-on skills to optimize the performance of
Red Hat and JBoss technologies, enhance productivity, and
mitigate risk.
Red Hat-trained customers are better prepared to:
• Successfully deploy and manage new Red Hat and
JBoss enterprise applications and solutions
• Solve both routine and challenging problems in less time
• Better manage internal resources with cross-trained staff
• Spread best practices within their IT organizations to
improve efficiencies
• Keep IT organizations competitive and reduce turnover
With more than 20 Red Hat Enterprise Linux courses, Red Hat
delivers one of the most comprehensive curricula offered in
today’s marketplace. Unlike most vendors, Red Hat orients
training and certification around real-world job roles and tasks.
Certified instructors actively engage students in task-focused
activities, lab-based knowledge checks, and facilitative discus-
sions. This ensures maximum skills transfer and retention,
which in turn enables increased productivity and a higher
return-on-investment (ROI).
The Value of
Red Hat Training
Industry-Leading,
Role-Based
Training Courses
Maximize the deployment and performance
of open source technologies.

Performance-based certifications from Red Hat are among

perform the tasks required in actual IT environments, Red Hat
customers can be assured that certification professionals on
their teams have demonstrated the skills required to perform
tasks in actual IT environments. Red Hat offers a full hierarchy
of credentials to provide a comprehensive and flexible program
for an entire IT staff.
Red Hat continues to lead the pack in open source curriculum
and certification. IDC consistently ranks Red Hat in the leader
category in training and certification in its competitive analysis,

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
system and networking performance, and tuning configurations. It also prepares
students 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; device registration using the Unified Device model and
the sysfs file system; and process interaction, including basic
file operations, polling, and wait queues.
