Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS)

Enables a new class of hardware/software capabilities

Advanced error recovery/reporting CPU and memory hot add

Machine Check Architecture

Intelligent recovery from CPU/memory errors Enhanced error reporting for PCI devices (PCI-AER & APEI)

DIF/DIX: End-to-end data integrity checking

Rapid file system recovery (up to 10x faster than RHEL 5) E.G. Fsck for 1TB filesystem (45 million files) RHEL5 Ext3 = 1 hour, RHEL6 Ext4 = 6 minutes.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 614

Policy driven power management

Advanced kernel and sub-systems

– Power savings from CPU, disk, network

– Designed for minimal power with fewer interrupts Tuned - adaptive tuning daemon

– Latency policy scripts

– Provides a variety of power tuning profiles

Powertop

– Identifies power hungry applications and system services

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 615

Lower Power Consumption

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 616

Resource ManagementAbility to manage large system resources effectively

Control Group (Cgroups) for CPU/Memory/Network/Disk

Benefit: guarantee Quality of Service & dynamic resource allocation

Ideal for managing any multi-application environment

From back ups to the Cloud

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 617

Integrated Virtualization

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is the hypervisor for RHEV.

Virtualization is a foundation for data center planning.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an excellent virtualization host, and is designed to be a superior guest on any of the major hypervisors.

Leverages built-in kernel features for networking storage related to guest acceleration.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 618

Virtualization

Deliver enhancements to make virtualization ubiquitous

Performance:

Commonly 85%-95% of bare metal, including I/O bound workloads

Scalability:

Host: 160/4096 cores; 2TB/64TB RAM

Guest: 64vCPU; 256 GB RAM

Advanced capabilities:

Live Migration; CPU/Mem resource control

Memory page sharing (KSM); SR-IOV; VT-D; SVirt security

Hypervisor integrated into the Linux kernel

All features accrue to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, whichalso provides sophisticated management capabilities

RHEV inherits the security features of Linux and RHEL

SELinux security policy infrastructure

Provides protection and isolation for virtual machines and host

Compromised virtual machine cannot access other VMs or host

sVirt Project

Sub-project of NSA's SELinux community. Provides “hardened” hypervisors

Multilevel security. Isolate guests

Contain any hypervisor breaches

RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATIONHYPERVISOR

● Standalone hypervisor● Small footprint < 100MB

– Customized 'spin' of RHEL + KVM

– 'Just enough' RHEL to run virtual machines

– Security hardened image

– Runs on all RHEL hardware

– with Intel VT/AMD-V CPUs

● Easy to install, configure and upgrade

– PXE boot, USB boot, CD or Hard drive
