The Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA), a consortium committed to fostering the adoption of open virtualization technologies, today announced that it is – still – experiencing rapid growth in participation from companies focused on cloud computing and emerging markets around the globe.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology provides unique advantages for companies looking for an open alternative for building cloud deployments and in emerging markets where cost and freedom from vendor lock-in are key criteria in selecting a virtualization solution.

More than 50 percent of OVA members are focused on cloud computing, and virtualization is a key component of every cloud.

OVA membership is growing significantly among companies in new global regions, including Asia Pacific and Latin America.

More than 200 technology companies have joined the OVA in total, delivering over a 20-fold growth in members since its launch three months ago.

HP, IBM, Intel, Red Hat And Others Form Open Virtualization Alliance

May 18, 2011 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

BMC Software, Eucalyptus Systems, HP, IBM, Intel, Red Hat and SUSE yesterday announced the formation of the Open Virtualization Alliance, a consortium committed to fostering the adoption of open virtualization technologies including Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).

The consortium will promote examples of customer successes, encourage interoperability and accelerate the expansion of the ecosystem of third party solutions around KVM, providing businesses improved choice, performance and price for virtualization.

The Open Virtualization Alliance will also provide education, best practices and technical advice to help businesses understand and evaluate their virtualization options.

The consortium complements the existing open source communities managing the development of the KVM hypervisor and associated management capabilities, which are driving technology innovations for customers virtualizing both Linux and Windows applications.

Members of the Open Virtualization Alliance have a common interest in supporting open virtualization, and are involved in the development, distribution, support, use, or other business interest in KVM or offerings which use it. By providing an open virtualization alternative, they are offering their clients choice and enabling them to select the ideal virtualization products for their business needs.
