RedHat claims that cloud computing is more powerful than Microsoft, ignoring VMware

Paul & middot, president of RedHat products and technology, said at the cooperator conference that the company has a huge advantage over Microsoft: RedHat is based on open source. Public cloud development is closely related to open-source, making it difficult for non-open-source competitors to take advantage of cloud computing opportunities.

At the Partner Conference, Paul Cormier, president of Red Hat products and technology, said that the company has a huge advantage over Microsoft: Red Hat is based on open source. Public cloud development is closely related to open-source, making it difficult for non-open-source competitors to take advantage of cloud computing opportunities.

Paul comir said: "Today's cloud computing is built on Linux and open source. Without Linux and open source, today's cloud computing will not be available ." Kymir also said that 80% of the Public clouds in the industry are built on the Linux platform, while Linux is an open-source product of Red Hat. He also said: "People cannot build clouds on Windows, but they don't work."

If enterprises want to enter cloud computing, there are three options: one is to use cloud computing to re-build IT infrastructure, which is expensive and impractical. Second, non-open-source enterprise technologies are used to build cloud computing for specific tasks. These technologies are patented. Third, the establishment of an open hybrid cloud, using the advantages of many open source technologies, these technologies may already be used.

With open hybrid cloud, enterprises do not have to stick to a single cloud. "One day, it will be better to use one cloud and the other cloud," kymir said ."

How many proprietary technologies and open-source technologies are used for an enterprise's infrastructure determines the difficulty for enterprises to enter cloud computing. Komeir admitted that Microsoft is Red Hat's biggest competitor in building a public cloud. He said: "really, only we and Microsoft have everything to do with building a competitive cloud computing. However, Microsoft has patent rights. Although VMware has management software, it has no infrastructure stack, no operating system, no middleware, and no real PaaS platform ."

In VMware, applications run on the operating system. "In the end, VMware runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows, and VMware has the same hardware ecosystem as ours, but they do not have their own ISVs or application ecosystems," comir said ."

In addition to Microsoft Azure, public clouds are built on open source technologies, said Brian Che, senior director and general manager of cloud computing at Red Hat. Brian che believes: "VMware is used in Private clouds. If the cloud is built on VMware, there will be many open source technologies. The cloud of Amazon, Google, and IBM is based on open source ."
