Open Source. Open Standards. Open Collaboration. For the past 15 years, Linux has served as the benchmark of a successful global open source project. The impact has been far reaching: today it powers the Internet, a significant portion of the datacenter, is the emerging market choice for the desktop, and soon will likely be on your phone. Over the last 5 years, this open community has turned its attention to virtualization. In this session from Virtualization Conference & Expo 2009 West, Red Hat's Brian Stevens discussed what has been achieved and what is under development, and most important why open source is critical when building integrated infrastructure solutions.
