Red Hat Announces Tech Focus Areas

Red Hat has announced its primary technology plans for 2006 through 2007. The company’s core focus will be to continue to reduce IT infrastructure costs for customers. Red Hat sees virtualization, stateless Linux and developer enablement as the key levers to reduce costs by increasing organizational efficiency and agility.

Expected to be released in late 2006, the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will feature a fully integrated server virtualization capability. Working with the Xen community and partners, Red Hat’s development efforts in this space will ensure maximum system utilitization and availability by optimizing the core operating system platform for virtualized environments.

Stateless Linux extends Red Hat’s IT cost reduction efforts to laptop and desktop deployments. With stateless Linux the personality and data that make an individual machine unique is moved to the network. Through intelligent backup and update agents, the user’s personality and data are cached to any local machine the user chooses. This allows the mobility and flexibility of a standard desktop but with the administration costs of a thin client.

Red Hat’s specific plans for enabling developers will include continued investment in open source tools such as Eclipse, SystemTAP, Frysk and others, as well as an expansion of developer-focused content, services and training targeted at commercial application developers. Red Hat will also begin to leverage its substantial testing and certification experience to help customers decrease their internal platform validation efforts, as the desire to validate more open source components increase.
