Partnerships, new releases show Red Hat’s focus on shared data context in an agile infrastructure
Less than a year ago, Red Hat Inc. announced Ceph, a major upgrade to its scalable, software-defined object storage platform, following up with news in May that the open-source software provider would combine the latest release with OpenStack Platform 13. The news was significant because it represented Red Hat’s response to what it had been discussing with customers seeking to deploy critical workloads in an agile information technology environment.
“I love the term the industry uses of multi-tenant workload isolation with shared data context,” said Brent Compton (pictured), senior director of storage, hyperconverged infrastructure, and big data architectures at Red Hat. “That’s such a concise term to describe what we talk to our customers about. We want to use the utility compute model that OpenStack gives us, as well as the shared data context that Ceph gives us.”
Compton spoke with John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during theCUBE NYC event in New York. They discussed Red Hat’s hyperconverged infrastructure strategy and a recently announced partnership for edge analytics. (* Disclosure below.)
Production-ready HCI solution
Red Hat’s announcement in May outlined the second element in the company’s evolving HCI strategy. It previously unveiled a production-ready, fully open-source HCI solution in June 2017 knowing that enterprises increasingly want to run analytics workloads on the same platform.
“If they’re running a lot of their enterprise applications on Amazon Web Services, of course they want to run their analytics workloads on AWS,” Compton explained. “If they’re running a lot of their enterprise applications on a Kubernetes substrate like OpenShift, they want to run their analytics workloads on that same kind of agile infrastructure.”
In addition to its HCI technology announcements over the past year, Red Hat has also expanded its edge computing footprint through partnerships such as the one announced last week with Cloudera Inc. and Eurotech SpA. The collaboration offers internet of things architecture without vendor lock-in.
“We’re bringing Red Hat technology to the edge of analytics so that you have the ability to do some processing in real time before back-hauling all the way back to the data center,” Compton concluded.
