Open source change big data and cloud future Outlook 2013 Red Hat five big things

If cloud computing and large data are two important trends in current IT development, open source can be said to be an important booster for these two trends, after all, a significant part of innovation comes from the open source community.

In 2012, as the only pure open source company to achieve 1 billion U.S. dollar sales in the industry, Red Hat has proven its allure and potential in cloud computing and large data times with its own outstanding performance. How will red Hat continue to use open source to change the future of big data and cloud computing in 2013? What new surprises will the new year bring to the users of this open source company? This article combs the 2013 years worth of Red Hat fans look forward to five things, readers.

Look forward to: Linux as the representative of Rhel Cloud operating system

As an open and standard operating system, Linux provides users with the option and flexibility to cloud computing, with experts predicting that Linux will become a future cloud operating system, and that Linux has so far grown to 8 applications per 10 cloud-based applications supported by Linux.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system (RHEL) has always been in the enterprise operating system market occupies an important position, and its Red Hat mixed cloud perfect combination, so that users can more easily from the public cloud access to a variety of applications or management tools.

Expected Two: Enterprise-class PAAs solutions occupy the commanding heights of the PAAs market

The PAAs business model has been a challenge for many PAAs vendors. When Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst visited China last October, he also talked about the future development model of the Red Hat PAAs platform--openshift, saying that Red Hat would launch on-primise enterprise-class PAAs solutions to help companies build their own PAAs architecture, Such enterprises mainly include two categories, one is to build the enterprise internal private cloud enterprises, the other is to provide PAAs services outside the enterprise. After that, in December 2012, Red Hat officially launched the OpenShift Enterprise Edition, its foundation is the Red Hat open source technology stack, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, JBoss Enterprise application platform and OpenShift Origin, This move by Red Hat not only provides favorable conditions for the Red Hat to occupy the commanding heights of the PAAs market, but also provides a new idea for the development of PAAs.

In the 2013, the Red Hat OpenShift platform would make it more common to use containerized operating systems such as bare-metal, virtualization and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to help enterprise users better use their resources to deliver enterprise-class applications.

Look forward to three: standing on the shoulders of giants Rhev new heights

Red Hat Series Virtualization products starting on November 10, 2009, 2012, Red Hat launched the Rhev 3.0 and Rhev 3.1 two versions, of which, Rhev 3.1 contains two significant highlights--storage thermal migration and scalability.

Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst has predicted that Rhev will overtake VMware just as Linux overtook Unix a decade ago. In fact, this is certainly not just Jim Whitehurst's lofty, IBM and other giants and the support of the OVA Alliance, all of the Red Hat in the Enterprise virtualization field of self-confidence provides a good reason.

With the introduction of the IBM KVM (Beijing) Center for Excellence in Beijing and the newer version of Rhev in 2013, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (Rhev) is bound to have greater performance in China and even in the global market.

Look forward to four: open mixed cloud and add new ding

Open Hybrid Cloud is a cloud-computing strategy introduced by Red Hat in 2012, dedicated to allowing users to choose products they like to build a cloud computing platform instead of locking in a vendor's product. As Whitehurst once said, cloud computing is not a specific technology, but a pattern that comes after the fusion of technologies, and only when it is standardized, commercialized, and modularized can the power of cloud computing be truly exploited.

January 2013, Red Hat completed the MANAGEIQ acquisition, Red Hat open mixed cloud strategy add new ding. The addition of Manageiq's products to the Red Hat Open hybrid cloud solution provides the ability to manage different provider technologies, such as those from Red Hat, VMware, Microsoft, Amazon, and other vendors, further reflecting the original intent of the Red Hat open hybrid cloud strategy-user selectivity. In 2013, Red Hat or MANAGEIQ products will be further integrated into the open mixed cloud solution, providing a more powerful open hybrid cloud solution to provide users with more choices.

Look forward to five: open source cloud storage thick fat thin hair

Red Hat's ambitions for cloud storage and large data storage have long been revealed, and as early as 2011, Red Hat acquired the cloud storage software company Gluster, after two years of accumulation, it was predicted that in 2013, cloud storage and large data storage will be one of the most important areas of red hat.

Conclusion: Each round of change means new opportunities, and the change in big data and cloud computing has also provided many new opportunities for the IT industry, such as open source, as the CEO of Red Hat has said, open source is the winning weapon for big data and cloud computing, and red Hat, the only open source vendor in the industry, has been committed to this magic weapon to create a more perfect, so that users can use a simpler, more flexible, more affordable way to win. 2013, Red Hat will bring more surprises to users, continue to use open source to change the future of large data and cloud computing!
