The commercial sponsor of KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), Qumranet, launched its anticipated desktop virtualization solution - Solid ICE (Independent Computing Environment). The Solid ICE product is used on x86 hosts and leverages the KVM hypervisor technology. On top of that, Qumranet created its own management suite to wrap everything together.
