Qumranet

Qumranet was an Israeli software company that developed the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor and the SPICE remote-desktop protocol, along with the SolidICE virtual desktop infrastructure product. It was acquired by Red Hat in September 2008, after which its technologies were folded into Red Hat's virtualization portfolio (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization / RHEV) and contributed upstream to the Linux kernel and open-source communities. Qumranet no longer exists as an independent company: the qumranet.com domain now issues a permanent (301) redirect to Red Hat's enterprise virtualization page, and there is no independent Qumranet developer program, API surface, or documentation to enrich.

Qumranet is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Virtualization, KVM, SPICE, and Hypervisor.
