One popular protocol for Linux Virtual desktop is SPICE it allows client and server to interact with virtual management tools and other standalone client applications. RHEV now allows management applications to run on Microsoft Windows server R2. V2V tools convert from ESX, RHEL Xen, and RHEL KVM to RHEV, the underling technology involved for V2V is called libguestfs, which is a library that binds programming languages to access Virtual
Management disk images and interact with them in a variety of ways. VM’s can also work while the system is powered down. The draw-backs to using this system is that you must first obtain a license to use this feature, and it must be purchased before it can be used. Virtualization is becoming a key feature in the technology race for technology in the Linux system vendors, this technology provides a great advantage by letting the user aquire the ability to run powerful key features such as like image/storage management, clustering, system schedulars, power saver,
ETC. By understanding what VR technology is capable of many companies are becoming more enthralled with what this technology can actually do, mainly in the world of medical science this technology was first discovered in its infancy as a way to seen through into the human tissue and muscle right to the bones of a person, this new found technology was called X-Ray it was first discovered in 1895, Since then VR technology has been produced to power many other functions in today’s medical world such as CAT scans and MRI devices, all of which is being used by the
Linux operation system.
