Red Hat is in the process of transforming from the world's top Linux companies to cloud computing service providers. In 2011, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst said in an interview that "platform as a service" (Platform-as-a-service, PAAs) will become the company's future. In today's blog post, Whitehurst the move from Linux to OpenStack. "History is going to be a big change every 20 years, and we are in the midst of a major transition from client-server (CS) mode to Cloud and mobile (cloud-mobile)," Whitehurst said. The sooner they are laid out, the more likely they are to become standard-makers of the new era-as Wintel did in the Client-server era. We're looking at a huge opportunity to be a leader in corporate cloud services, just as we are in the corporate open source world. Competition is fierce, but businesses have to choose between multiple cloud requirements. By making open source the default choice for the next era, Red Hat must be the first choice for cloud infrastructure providers. "For Red Hat's decision, cononical and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth, a leading Linux leader, also agreed. In addition to Microsoft's Azure, most other cloud services platforms offer Linux and Open-source software-for example, Amazon's cloud platform is given to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Whitehurst points out: Red Hat Enterprise Linux already has more than 90% of the global financial 500 customers.
