Red Hat Plans on Integrating Virtualisation, SOA Solutions

Red Hat is all set to integrate virtualisation and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The aim of the venture is to provide a foundation for enterprise computing. The company said it believes that virtualisation and SOA are technology strategies that companies should adopt to realise long-term cost savings while increasing productivity and performance, as per a statement issued by the company.

"Demand for open source is happening in virtually all industry sectors around the world, but in 2006, healthcare, telecommunications and financial services emerged as the top industries for enterprise adoption of open source," said Tim Yeaton, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Solutions, Red Hat. "The next areas for real value delivery for the customers will be virtualisation as part of the SOA. We are already collaborating with customers to complement our concentration on these technologies. The net will be a complete, reliable, high-value solution for the customer."

"Virtualisation and SOA are two of the key business productivity opportunities in the market today," said Tony Iams, Vice President for System Software Research, Ideas International. "The open source model and ecosystem are well suited for helping global enterprises and vertical industries to realise immense benefits from these new industry drivers."
