The largest Linux company in the world Red Hat is about to release its source code for the SPICE.
SPICE stands for Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environment and is used for gaining remote access to a desktop computer, somtimes could a thin client. Being like the Remote Desktop Protocol within Winndows, SPICE is optimized to use the desktops graphic card of the client computer to its fullest advantage, normally one would have to set a lower resolution to access the computer.
Within the Red Hat Server, SPICE depends on a Kernel Virtual Machine for its power and this is the virtualization software that Red Hat does focus on. SPICE will be a major boost to its desktop operating system with this virtualization software and is expected to sell more server licences aswell, but wont be available to ubuntu and windows 7 because of competition.
As the Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens said in a recent inteview "The SPICE protocol is designed to optimize performance by automatically adapting to the graphics and communications environment that it is running in, so vendors have a terrific opportunity to enhance it for their specific applications."
