3.2 Unlocking the Value of the Cloud
Red Hat's approach does not lock an enterprise into one vendor's cloud stack, but instead
offers a rich set of solutions for building a cloud. These can be used alone or in conjunction
with components from third-party vendors to create the optimal cloud to meet unique needs.
Cloud computing is one of the most important shifts in information technology to occur in
decades. It has the potential to improve the agility of organizations by allowing them to:
1 Enhance their ability to respond to opportunities,
2 Bond more tightly with customers and partners, and
3 Reduce the cost to acquire and use IT in ways never before possible.
Red Hat is proud to be a leader in delivering the infrastructure necessary for reliable, agile,
and cost-effective cloud computing. Red Hat's cloud vision is unlike that of any other IT
vendor. Red Hat recognizes that IT infrastructure is composed of pieces from many different
hardware and software vendors. Red Hat enables the use and management of these diverse
assets as one cloud. Enabling cloud to be an evolution, not a revolution.
Red Hat's vision spans the entire range of cloud models:
• Building an internal Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud, or seamlessly using a
third-party's cloud
• Creating new Linux, LAMP, or Java applications online, as a Platform as a Service
(PaaS)
• Providing the easiest path to migrating applications to attractive Software as a Service
(SaaS) models
Red Hat's open source approach to cloud computing protects and manages existing and
diverse investments as one cloud -- whether Linux or Windows, Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization, VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V, Amazon EC2 or another vendor's IaaS, .Net or
Java, JBoss or WebSphere, x86 or mainframe.
