RedHat has recently upgraded its Linux server product to RHEL 5.5 with many new features and performance improvements. The latest OS from RedHat has improved\u00a0Windows Interportability<\/a> and\u00a0Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)\u00a0Virtualization which allows running unsupported hardware through an emulator. It also includes support for newer hardware of Intel and AMD.<\/p>\n

Tim Burke, vice president of platform engineering at Red Hat, reported to InternetNews.com that,<\/p>\n

We overlap on our releases as it takes many years to produce the new version – RHEL 6 – which is currently in development, Within the coming month we’ll have our beta release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.<\/p>\n

The hardware is of nominal value until you’ve got the software to enable it and that’s what really shines in RHEL 5.5. We’ve done a huge number of scalability enhancements for both bare metal and virtualization environments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

RedHat will also announce the availability of RHEL 6 in June. This will be the next major version after the release of RHEL 5 in 2007.<\/p>\n

One major improvement in RHEL 5.5 is the support for new processor families from Intel (Westmere) and AMD (Opteron). One major feature improvement is the Runtime Allocation which allows processes to scale their memory requirements at runtime. Interportability with Windows 7 has also been improved through improvements in Samba<\/a>.<\/p>\n
