Red Hat, the open source solutions provider, today announced the next step in the integration of its enterprise-grade server and desktop virtualisation portfolio with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2.

The 2.2 update includes new scalability capabilities, migration tools and features to expand the performance and security of the solution.

The 2.1 version was launched in November 2009.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2 works with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows, with Microsoft SVVP certification, as well as for cloud computing environments.

Navin Thadani, senior director, virtualisation business at Red Hat, said, ''Already experiencing traction with server and cloud deployments, the solution expands its reach today with the delivery of our desktop virtualisation management capabilities to help more customers to break down the barriers to virtualisation adoption.''

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2 provides a single infrastructure from which customers can manage their server and desktop virtualization deployments.
