Red Hat Outlines Strategy To Solve CIO Concerns

Red Hat has announced its strategy to solve key problems facing CIOs by enabling increased operational choice, flexibility, efficiency, and responsiveness to rapidly changing business needs.

Red Hat's Linux Automation strategy covers all facets of the IT environment, creating an infrastructure which is built for automation, including virtualisation, identity management, high availability and performance capabilities. At the core of the Linux Automation strategy is the broad ecosystem provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, delivering a set of automation, management and orchestration tools by Red Hat and its partners. Software partners gain access to this entire ecosystem with a single application certification - “certify once, deploy anywhere.”

“With new deployment models and technologies making corporate IT deployments much more dynamic, applications are no longer tied to a single server. Linux Automation simplifies that complexity, providing a unified platform for application execution, management and orchestration,” said Nandu Pradhan, president and managing director, Red Hat India.

Complementing the Linux Automation strategy are three supporting announcements, including the immediate availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, the Red Hat Appliance Operating System, and the beta availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), a web service providing resizeable cloud computing.
