At a conference for UK press this morning, Red Hat added some detail to its plans for virtualisation, cloud computing and application messaging. Centre of attention was Qumranet, the firm Red Hat agreed to acquire just last week for about $107m. Best known for its KVM virtualisation software, Red Hat sees the addition of the Qumranet technology helping to take it up against Microsoft — the other company owning both operating system and virtualisation components.
