Going beyond Extended Lifecycle Support, Linux vendor breathes longer life into Enterprise Linux.

MRG platform gets a new release, adding Linux 3.0 and new performance measurement features

If Red Hat has its way,  the Big Three of virtualization will expand to be the Big Four. With RHEV 3, Red Hat may have taken a big step in that direction.

After two years of forcing users to use Windows to manage virtualization, Red Hat is finally bringing its virtualization management tech to Linux.

No, that's not a typo. Sure, Red Hat's flagship Linux is at the 6.2 version, but that doesn't mean development is over on the 5.x series.

New releases advance content delivery and middleware server management.

Updated enterprise Linux release improved performance and resource control.

Platform as a Service offering advances with some new Java dev features, but it's still not open source (yet).

New release releases of SOA, business rules and data services platform help to integrate enterprise intelligence.

When it comes to server virtualization pricing, it seems each vendor has chosen a different fruit. How do you compare pricing when structures vary from per-server or per-processor, or are based on VM usage, bundled guest OS licenses or combinations of all of these?

Platform as a service is important for the future, but it's not going to be a money maker for Red Hat in the short term.
