Microsoft and Red Hat, united by virtualization
Ah it seems virtualization is what going to unite the largest competing vendors. Yes, I am talking about Microsoft, Redhat, and Novell. Not too long back Novell who purchased SUSE has got in an agreement with Microsoft in regards of Virtualization. So with SUSE making the lead seems REDHAT is going the same route as well. I guess there is things where the big players in the IT market have to get a long, and virtualization seems to be one of the biggest at the moment.
Redhat has surprisingly announced the joint of Microsoft in the virtualization market, and they will provide a validation and certification programs for virtualization solutions. As Redhat announced a good validation & Certification program will allow the customers to deploy a heterogeneous solutions from Microsoft & Red Hat. It seems in few years virtualizations will unlock the boundaries between many competing vendors.
