In particular, the company has big plans for its Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) technology, powered by KVM, as well as its work with the Cloud Foundations initiative. Datamation takes a look.
For Linux vendor Red Hat, the road ahead is about looking up to the cloud as it ramps up business efforts to profit from new virtualization and service-oriented initiatives.
