A live demo of the Xen-based virtualization features in RHEL 5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 5) is planned. About the Presentation ---------------------- During the past few years, machine virtualization has emerged as a key technology in the high-tech industry. Virtualization creates "virtual machines" In this session, Christoph will speak on: * What problems virtualization can solve * A high-level overview of various virtualization models * Review open-source implementations of said models * Cover hardware technologies found in modern CPUs which aid virtualization * What to look for when purchasing hardware for virtualization He will demonstrates the capabilities of virtualization found in RHEL5.
