Wave +red hat (Red hat) hardware and software integration to open up a new era!

The wave of September 18, 2014 signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Red Hat, the world's largest open-source manufacturer, in Beijing yesterday. Under the cooperation agreement, Red Hat will be the wave of NP Series Tower Server, NF Series rack server, wave Storage server, NX series Blade Server, such as the 9 Wave x86 computing products to provide comprehensive technical and service support, the tide will become the Red Hat OEM partners, in the user selection, Recommend the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 operating system.

Red Hat is the world's leading open source enterprise. Red Hat Linux is the world's most widely used Linux, but also the industry's mainstream influence of the OS, not long ago, the wave of new four-way server nf8460m3 in the domestic first through the Red Hat Enterprise LINUX7 certification, marking the wave of new four-way platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 new operating system seamless docking and perfect combination, to bring users more powerful performance and unmatched system manageability, reliability, flexibility experience.

After the signing of the contract, the wave server products will support the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 operating system, the two sides will jointly provide customers with High-performance computing platform solutions, follow-up, the two areas of cooperation will be extended to cloud computing and other areas of critical computing.

When asked about the major details of the two parties ' cooperation projects, Scott Musson, vice president of Global strategic Alliance for Red Hat, said: "The first thing we do together is the combination of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and the Wave server technology, and the second is to share our software technology and roadmap for our technology development." ”

Hureyun, vice president of Wave Group, added: "From the wave point of view, we hope that with world-class suppliers to establish a closer cooperative relationship, which is mainly reflected in three aspects." The first aspect includes the product mutual authentication, the safeguard Tide entire series server product and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 the newest enterprise class operating system has the close cooperation, in the system reliability, the performance as well as the maintenance aspect full display two hardware and software platform superiority. This is mainly achieved through project certification. Second, in the area of cloud computing, including virtualization, cloud management platforms, and large data, we will arrange for further collaboration, such as the Lightweight virtualization technology container and Docker in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, and from the wave perspective, our future faces cloud computing, Key application hosts and a range of new development plans, by sharing our roadmap for development, can be extended to a new area of operation using the operating system of the K1 host. Again, in the field of cloud computing we want to have more in-depth cooperation in different aspects including virtualization, and to develop more services. ”

Talking about future cooperation prospects, Hureyun said: "Domestically brand to international, domestic market share in the global market share is growing, and we develop so fast, the future as a server manufacturer, we are in the middle of the entire industrial chain, down the road must have more extensive international cooperation, In order to support our current market position in China, it is necessary for the wave internationalization strategy. In terms of partner selection, the first is to look at their influence in the global arena, it is also to have a common understanding of technology and values, or to see whether the vision of both sides in the technical field is not in line with our needs, at this point we feel that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is in the Linux field, From my personal point of view is a company worthy of admiration, from the beginning of the release of the current so many years, in the technical direction has been in the field of operating system is the most ahead. Our two companies in the early communication process, mutual more in-depth recognition, which is a perfect match for us, for our future development, this is also a necessary step. “

What business and opportunities will be brought to the two sides in this cooperation, "we are working together to provide a closer, more efficient, more reliable, and more high-performance solution to our industry users, to future potential small and medium sized Internet customers and to a number of large internet customers," says Hureyun. If we simply use numbers to measure how much money we earn, this is a bit underestimating the influence of our cooperation in the future. This collaboration is a very important step in the ability to integrate the entire IT product line into the future wave. It is very important for our future overall service and solution capabilities, and for expanding our ability to solve problems in the marketplace, and it would be inappropriate to simply use numbers to measure this. ”

Scott Musson: "This partnership has a two-way effect on us." From a wave perspective, the wave can continue to innovate in hardware, more innovation and development in server technology. But to support new performance and server functionality, we need to ensure that the operating system supports this new functionality, which requires early intervention. We will be quicker and more timely to know the requirements of these hardware and the need for new server capabilities, to bring these requirements back to our open source community, from the open source community to the development of operating systems or other systems, and finally to provide hardware and server support. Our development can be based on the development of hardware, which is also very important to us, this meaning is two-way. ”

"The transfer of global core hardware from the US to China has become an irresistible fact," said Dr Zhang Xianmin, president of the Red Hat Greater China region, in an interview with reporters. Wave is China's largest market, the world's fifth largest server enterprises, technology and product innovation capacity, marketing capabilities have reached international level, especially in the development of products and technology routes, and red Hat have a lot of complementarity, these are the key to make both sides become strategic partners. ”
