Government agencies at all levels are looking for opportunities to carve out costs and improve security, transparency, public participation, and collaboration. The answer lies in Open Source solutions. Learn more via this line-up of whitepapers and webinars, available for complimentary download.
Throughout the world, governments at all levels are finding that open source software solutions are meeting their needs, from mission-critical infrastructures to end-user applications and services.
In a currently tight budgetary climate, government organizations are working to function as cost-effectively as possible. Agencies also face regulatory mandates for energy efficiency and data center consolidation that are driving them to consolidate data centers, servers, applications and services, to reduce costs. IT managers are moving to commodity x86-based servers to replace legacy RISC servers.
In the enterprise computing arena, of the server operating sytems that were prevalent a decade ago, only two are likely to dominate by 2015 - - Linux and Microsoft Windows, according to research from IDC.
Linux is one of two operating systems that rode the x86 server market over the past decade and established itself as a mainstream solution for supporting deployments of business-oriented application workloads. This upward progression has led Linux to its current role as a platform capable of supporting business-critical workloads on a broad variety of hardware architectures.
Those who standardize on Red Hat Enterprise Linux reap tangible benefits throughout their IT operations, but where will the largest cost savings come from for your organization?
Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization is a complete virtualization management solution for server and desktop virtualization, and the first enterprise-ready, fully open source virtualization platform. This guide reviews the major features of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.
Choosing how to build a hybrid cloud is perhaps the most strategic decision IT leaders will make this decade. It’s a choice that will determine their organization’s competitiveness, flexibility, and IT economics for the next 10 years.
That’s because, done right, a cloud delivers strategic advantages to the business by redirecting resources from simply maintaining the status quo to true innovation. But only an open cloud delivers on the full strategic business value and promise of cloud computing. Download the whitepaper to learn more.
Whether you're virtualizing for the first time or already well down the path, deploying the right virtualization foundation is critical to meet your current requirements, as well as preparing for future growth. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is the ideal platform to build and expand your virtualization footprint, providing advanced management, industry-leading performance and scalability, and flexibility for both Windows and Linux operating environments.
Virtualization has revolutionized the way government, military, and commercial organizations deploy and manage software. With its unique kernel-level architecture and National Security Agency (NSA)-developed security mechanism that isolates each virtual machine as a protected process, Red Hat© sVirt delivers the industry’s most secure virtualization platform in an easily administered solution.
Hybrid Cloud Storage is emerging as the newest form of storage architecture on the market, so how do agencies deal with the high storage growth? In January 2012 Aberdeen surveyed 106 various organizations across sectors and found that the demand for storage is growing by 35% year over year. This report looks at each component of Hybrid Cloud Storage as users of this new technology will be able to locate their data, on-premise with Scale-out NAS or in the Public Cloud.
Over the past ten years, enterprises have seen enormous gains in scalability, flexibility, and affordability as they migrated from proprietary, monolithic server architectures to architectures that are virtualized, open source, standardized, and commoditized.
Unfortunately, storage has not kept pace with computing, but the GlusterFS file system was created to address this gap. This whitepaper discusses some of the unique technical aspects of the Red Hat Storage architecture, speaking to those aspects of the system that are designed to provide linear scale-out of both performance and capacity without sacrificing resiliency.
A key environmental factor shaping storage decisions today is the turbulent global economy. With recession just behind us, and growth stalled in many sectors, IT executives continue to be asked to do even more with even fewer resources.
Exploring the economic advantages of scale-out storage is the focus of this paper. After briefly defining scale-out storage we discuss, in turn, the capital, operational and strategic advantages of scale-out storage solutions.
Many enterprises are disregarding the fear-uncertainty-doubt campaigns of their primary application server vendors and are successfully moving to open source.
IDC studied the business value of adopting the JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) by interviewing 6 large companies that used JBoss solutions to develop custom applications and have been running them for at least 12 months.
Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, is committed to using the principles of open source to provide enterprise-level security to its customers. This paper reviews open source software development principles and process and how those lead to more secure software. It also evaluates Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® security in the real world.
One of the greatest challenges facing CIOs and IT directors is maintaining the security of their IT environments. The effects of a security breach can be catastrophic, including unplanned downtime and the resulting loss of service—a potentially significant financial impact—and the loss of sensitive and confidential information.
This problem has been compounded by the proliferation of networked PCs and servers, and the growing intelligence of malicious software that seeks to exploit and expand through the Internet infrastructure.
Find out how tools like Red Hat® Network can help system administrators react to and take action to thwart security breaches.
