Hi List,
we are already using kvm successfully a while here for our internal
Infrastructure. Up to now we're having good results with Linux Guests
and are quite happy with kvm.
Now it's time to replace some of our current Windows Infrastructure
and I'm evaluating Windows 2k3 and 2k8 on KVM vhosts. While virtio
does currently successfully boost our Linux Guests I only found
network virtio drivers for Windows. These help quiet a bit speeding
things but we're well behind our hopes currently. Blockdevice drivers
seem to be missing at all.

Since I found no evidence of anything evolving here: Are any efforts
going on creating or optimizing such drivers ? Can anyone expect
seeing something anytime soon ?
Yes, efforts are under way to both certify them (get them signed via the
MS WHQL process) and optimize them. Soon is the best time estimation I
can give, perhaps very soon.
Y.

What about open sourcing?

That too, of course.


If anyone can shed some light in this i would be pleased to read your
answers.

Greetings !
