Red Hat's project, to be carried out in collaboration with Intel, will provide a standard environment allowing software vendors to create virtual appliances for tasks such as network security, provisioning, monitoring and asset management. These appliances would be able to run regardless of the operating system presented to the user.
"[T]his project will unlock the capabilities of the advanced business PC towards improved operational efficiencies," said Doug Fisher, vice president and general manager of Intel's system software division.

A beta of the virtual appliance OS is expected before the end of the year, with a general release in 2008.
