Get virtualisation that puts you in control.

Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualisation 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.

enterprise ready Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation 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 Virtualisation 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 virtualise your most challenging workloads.

Fast and scalable Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation dominates the independent, industry-standard bench-marks for virtualisation (SPECvirt_sc2010®). As of January 1, 2012, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation claimed top virtualisation 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 Virtualisation 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 Virtualisation.

refreshingly open Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation is built on two open source projects: kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) and oVirt.

KVM is a robust open source project providing virtualisation at the kernel level. KVM is supported by leading software vendors, including Red Hat, IBM, AMD, Intel, HP, and SuSE. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation hypervisor is built with KVM.

oVirt is an ecosystem of projects offering feature-rich datacenter virtualisation management. Red Hat has open sourced the entire Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation management stack, and donated it to the oVirt project. Through oVirt, the open source

red hat enterprise virtualisation 3 is:

http://www.redhat.com/training

marketplace.redhat.com


community—including commercial partners such as IBM, Intel, Cisco, NetApp, SuSE, and Canonical—continues to develop cutting-edge open source virtualisation management.

Red Hat also helped create the Open Virtualisation Alliance (OVA), a group that focuses on fostering interoperable virtual-isation solutions. The OVA’s mission is to drive open standards and the adoption of open virtualisation based on KVM.

remarkably affordable Like all Red Hat solutions, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation is purchased by subscription. One yearly price includes access to software, updates, upgrades, and technical support. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation 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 Virtualisation for Desktops is an addition to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation 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 CertificationMaximise the deployment and performance of open source technologies.

When organisations include Red Hat Training as part of a deployment and maintenance strategy, they can maximise the value and performance of their open source technologies. Red Hat Training arms IT organisations with the knowledge and proven, hands-on skills to optimise 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 organisations to improve efficiencies

• Keep IT organisations 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



Performance-based certifications from Red Hat are among the most highly regarded in the IT industry. The program’s success stems from a solid track record of benchmarking and hands-on skills assessment. Since candidates are required to 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, IDC MarketScape: Worldwide IT Education and Training Vendor Analysis. This third-party study assesses OEMs that offer training, ranking them on strategy and vision.

Proving Competencies with Red Hat Certifications

Award-Winning Training and Certification

– Vinod Kutty, associate director, Distributed Computing, CME Group

“ The practical, hands-on nature of Red Hat Training courses provided real value to the transition of our team’s skills to Linux. All of our system administrators are Red Hat Certified Engineers (RHCE).”



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

Red Hat Developer Courses*

* Red Hat Developer Courses are highly specialised classes and are run upon request. Please contact your relevant training alias to discuss class scheduling (subject to Red Hat requirements).

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 management, process creation, and interprocess communica-tion 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, giving a useful baseline from which more specialised 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.
