Sure, Red Hat strives to compete with VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. But the Linux company realizes it must also show VMware and Hyper-V a little love. A prime example: The new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 release offers an “improved virtual guest experience on VMware and Hyper-V,” Red Hat claims.
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.1 is now available, giving Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) new ammunition in its battle against VMware (NYSE: VMW) vSphere and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Hyper-V. The bigger question: How will each vendor promote virtualization as customers increasingly explore software-defined data centers?
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) are countering VMware (NYSE: VMW) in the government market, promoting a secure virtualization platform on IBM x86 servers. But here’s the twist: VMware has offered a similar level of security since at least 2010.

The big question: Is VMware still in hyper-growth mode or is Microsoft Hyper-V starting to gain ground in the virtualization market?
Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) each had a small but noticeable presence at VMworld 2012. Call it a case of cooperating, even amid potential competition between Oracle VM, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 3.1 and VMware vSphere
VMware certainly wants to tout its work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle applications.
HotLink, a provider of solutions to manage heterogenous virtualization environments, has come out with an update to its flagship SuperVisor software that uses VMware‘s (NYSE: VMW) vCenter control panel to simplify the management of multi-hypervisor environments.
VMware (NYSE: VMW) Q2 2012 financial results beat Wall Street’s expectations, and the virtualization company’s sales pipeline sounds strong ahead of the big VMworld conference in August.
