Cloud Computing Expo - Red Hat has open sourced SPICE, the proprietary Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environment hosted virtual desktop protocol that it got when it bought the Israeli KVM start-up Qumranet last year. SPICE is a key to Red Hat's Virtualization for Desktops product now in private beta. It deploys the desktops from the Linux server and dynamically customizes the instances currently either XP or Windows 7 images as well Red Hat's own Linux.
SPICE is described as an adaptive remote rendering protocol designed specifically for virtual environments and good for today's bandwidth-intensive applications such as multimedia and VoIP, making the user experience comparable to a physical desktop. Red Hat says it automatically adapts to the graphics and communications environment it's running in, so vendors can enhance it for their specific applications. Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on Intel processor-based servers helps your customers reduce TCO, while providing a better foundation for growth. This white paper provides a guide to planning and conducting a strategic and successful transition. Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1
