With each update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we add new features and reliability/quality improvements through bug fixes and security patches – while maintaining compatibility with our ecosystem of certified hardware and software. Update releases also often provide new or enhanced hardware support. Key features in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 include:

• Improved virtualization performance and scale

  • New, optimized devices drivers for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 virtual guests deployed on the KVM hypervisor that we plan to include in future Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 releases. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 virtual guests running on Xen-based systems continues as before.

  • Virtual guest support for up to 256 disk devices (increased from 16). This will allow the deployment of much larger virtualized applications.

• Improved Windows interoperability and file system support

  • A Samba update to improve Microsoft Windows interoperability, which allows customers to deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a secure, reliable, high performance, file server for Microsoft Windows environments.

  • Samba support allows customers to attach Microsoft Windows clients to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server without requiring Windows Client Access Licenses (CALs).

  • An update to autofs (used to map file systems) provides increased reliability and stability.

• General performance improvements

  • Includes three new “kernel tunables” that allow customers to optimize application performance by reducing latency and improving utilization.

  • Updated high-speed networking support with enhancements to the Open Fabric Distribution Networking (OFED) software stack.

• Storage and filesystem enhancements

  • Improved Device Mapper reporting is provided to help storage administrators.

  • More information captured from HP active-passive arrays helps administrators monitor and configure storage in multipath high-availability configurations.

• Enhanced developer support

  • Updated GNU Compiler Collection allows customers to compile applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This helps customers prepare for moving applications to the newer Red Hat release.
