Evaluation based on completeness of vision and
ability to execute
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the
“Visionaries” quadrant of the August 2016 x86 Server Virtualization
Infrastructure Magic Quadrant. With Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization, companies around the world are building a
foundation for future technologies while integrating with existing
technologies with an open, scalable, and high-performance
virtualization infrastructure.
Gartner’s Magic Quadrants are based on rigorous analysis of a
vendor’s completeness of vision and ability to execute. According
to Gartner, “About 80% of x86 server workloads are virtualized, but
virtualization technologies are becoming more lightweight,
supporting more workloads and agile development. Price,
modernization and specific use cases are driving enterprises to
deploy different, and often multiple, virtualization
technologies.”
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is an open infrastructure and
management platform for servers and workstations with robust
security capabilities. It is built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technologies and enables
customers to virtualize both traditional and cloud-native
applications. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is the open
alternative. It offers a high-performing, fault-tolerant, and more
secure platform for mission-critical, virtualized Linux and Windows
environments. Red Hat reduces the cost and complexity of
proprietary virtual machines (VM) through improved economics,
interoperability, and agility of virtualization. Backed by Red
Hat’s certified ecosystem of software and hardware partners, Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization offers unparalleled performance,
scale, and flexibility to support a broad range of critical
workloads.
Supporting Quote
Gunnar Hellekson, director of product management, Linux and
Virtualization, Red Hat"Many enterprises are looking for an open
alternative to proprietary virtualization solutions to obtain
better efficiencies and interoperability, and to bridge their
traditional infrastructure to cloud-native workloads using
OpenStack or other platforms. As the only company included in the
Visionaries quadrant, we believe Red Hat’s Magic Quadrant position
reinforces our continued innovation, momentum and strong vision for
an open, high-performance virtualization alternative.”
