RHEV 3.2 Released
Red Hat has released version 3.2 of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV). The biggest new feature of this version is storage live migration, which allows a virtual machine to move online to another storage domain without interrupting the operation.

Other features include improvements in logging and monitoring, storage, network management, and power management.

The latest release also fixes bugs, adds several new applications and components, and tackles a number of security issues, especially in Bind.
