subscRiption model

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers subscription

pricing is based on the number of managed sockets, pro-

viding customers with a straightforward model for ordering,

deployment, and capacity planning. There are no licensing

limitations on the total number of cores per host, and man-

agement is included. Licensed sockets can run unlimited

virtual guests, but customers must purchase the licenses

for operating systems (Red Hat or others) separately.

cHoosinG a Red Hat HYpeRVisoR

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization offers two choices

for hypervisor: a small-footprint hypervisor, Red Hat

Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor, that is bundled

with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers, or

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, purchased separately.

usinG Red Hat enteRpRise linux as

a HYpeRVisoR

For customers who want to host Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization on a full Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance,

Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise LinuxAdvanced Platform can be used as a host for vir-

tual machines. A Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat

Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform subscription is

required for each host in this model, in addition to the

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers subscription.

We generally recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advanced Platform for use with Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat Enterprise

Linux products. For more information, see
