great tool for virtualization KVM

  • January 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent Linux kernel virtualization infrastructure excellent. KVM supports full virtualization using Intel VT or AMD-V. KVM is implemented as a loadable kernel module, although in future versions a system call interface can be used and will be integrated directly into the kernel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited support for paravirtualization is also available for Linux and Windows guests in the form of a paravirtual network driver
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed in virtualizing Host

Good Virtual Software

  • January 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It controls multiple Windows PCs from one console which is actually very cool and easy and flexible. It automatically shifts mouse and keyboard control to multiple PCs via a display matrix which is the best part of the tool that I like.
What do you dislike about the product?
They can provide more support by helping online with the tool. Also, another barrier that I see with the tool is that its Windows only compatible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Could control multiple PCs with one console. Like the KVM (Keyboard. Video, and Mouse) software is very useful is controlling multiple PCs, one such is Multiplicity 3.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For anyone interested to reduce cable cost for connecting and controlling multiple PCs, this tool is very useful in order to control multiple PCs.

KVM - Kernel based Virtual Manager

  • January 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It integrates into the Linux kernel and hence it is easy to launch - like does not need to be installed like other hypervisors E.g oracle virtualbox or vmware player. It exists in the kernel as a module and hence it is loaded when the kernel starts and keeps running
What do you dislike about the product?
the process of setting up virtual machines is not very easy and needs more knowledge and practice unlike using other user friendly hypervisors like Oracle virtualbox where everything is GUI based and can be done with the click of mouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used KVM as part of HP blade servers to spin up new virtual machines for various VNFs. Though there was an initial learning, but once learned it was easy to manage the VNFs - their lifecycle (instantiation, upgrade, downgrade, etc)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
KVM is the default hypervisor for Linux based hosts though other tools like virtualbox can be used.

Security on servers with red hat

  • December 06, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat is the best operating system in terms of server security, with a solid track record, being an RPM operating system, it contains a number of packages and repositories adapted to end users, as well as an enterprise version that adapts to current IT requirements. allowing to configure more secure servers and adapting to the environments of virtualization platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
what I dislike about redhat is that despite being a free Linux distribution, support and some packages have high costs. Another problem is Some Bios do not support booting with RAID cards and you have to install the boot root outside of RAID.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Redhat helped me in VCenter VMware, many clients ask me to supply virtual machines with Redhat due to the security levels for servers of this operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is to document with the amount of manuals that exist of redhat, which are very useful at the time of taking the first steps with this distribution of linux.
