Red Hat's strategy is to make Linux ubiquitous, embed virtualisation into Linux and, therefore, make virtualisation ubiquitous as well - in private and semi-private IT infrastructures as well as public clouds.

    • Xen is still supported
    • Transparent virtualisation for ISVs (and customers)
    • ISVs are the key battle ground
