Red Hat powers new generation of virtualisation with Red Hat Virtualization 4
Red Hat has announced the general availability of Red Hat Virtualization 4 , the newest release of its Kernel based Virtual Machine ( KVM ) – powered virtualisation platform .
Red Hat Virtualization 4 provides a fully open , high performance , more secure and centralised management platform for both Linux and Windows based workloads . It also combines a powerful hypervisor , advanced system dashboard , and centralised networking for users ’ evolving workloads . Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux , Red Hat Virtualization 4 is designed to easily integrate with existing IT investments while providing a foundation for emerging technology deployments , including containerised and cloud native applications .
While virtualisation remains a key element of data centre operations , customer needs around the technology are rapidly evolving . Enterprises just embarking on a virtualisation deployment may want a complete , agile platform that embraces efficiency and open standards of interoperability , while enterprises who have already deployed virtualisation technologies may become increasingly concerned about their investment due to costs , lack of innovation or incompatibility . Red Hat Virtualization 4 is designed to address these emerging scenarios with a platform built on open standards , providing a powerful , flexible solution for new deployments and helping existing virtualisation users migrate to an open , extensible solution .

YELO LAUNCHES AUTOMATED HIGH VOLUME TEST AND BURN-IN OF OPTICAL COMPONENTS FOR 100G DATA CENTRES
Yelo launches automated high volume test and burn-in of optical components for 100G data centres
Yelo has launched its new automated high volume test and burn-in system which will increase throughput for 100G data centre optical components .
Yelo ’ s market research has identified that the use of optical components in data centres will grow by a factor of 100 over the next eight years . This means that optical component manufacturers need to scale production from 10,000 components per month to 500,000 or even 1 million per month .
It is simply not possible to scale this volume with people so they need automated assembly , automated test , automated burn-in and automated packaging .
Yelo is providing a cutting edge solution for optical component manufacturers targeting the data centre market . This solution allows burn-in and test of their optical components at a much higher volume , with improved yield and at lower labour cost . For further information visit : www . yelo . co . uk
