Red Hat on the desktop at Red Hat Summit
Red Hat announced the creation of Red Hat Global Desktop, geared toward small businesses and local governments. The Global Desktop, which delivers a modern-user experience with an enterprise-class suite of productivity applications, was designed in collaboration with Intel Corp. In addition, Red Hat and Intel are taking advantage of Global Desktop's high performance and minimal hardware requirements to support a wide range of Intel's current and future desktop platforms, including the Classmate, Affordable, Community and Low-Cost PC lines.
Red Hat also stated that it's in a joint program with Intel Corp. to deliver a Red Hat-branded software platform that supports desktop PCs with Intel vPro processors. The company hopes to bring the power of hardware-assisted virtualization to business desktop computing by offering the benefits of reduced management costs, improved operational efficiency and reduced exposure to security threats -- regardless of the client operating system.
Using a PC with Intel vProT processor technology, IT will be able to deploy appliances in a virtual machine that are manageable and secure. Red Hat's Appliance OS will support pluggable virtual appliances, available through ISVs. IT administrators can use virtual appliances to enable functions such as network security, provisioning, monitoring and asset management, regardless of the state of the desktop OS. In collaboration with Intel, Red Hat plans to develop, produce and support the necessary software components, including the hypervisor, the Service OS and Software Development Kit (SDK).
PCs with Intel vProT processor technology and Red Hat's Virtual Appliance OS will host business applications in an isolated, secure and manageable manner. Active development on the project is underway today, with beta software expected later this year and general release planned for 2008.
