Red Hat Rolls Out Enterprise MRG: Messaging, Realtime, Grid
12/04/2007
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the provider of open source solutions, today announced Red Hat Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime, Grid), offering new capabilities for deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and third-party operating platforms that further strengthen Red Hat’s position as the strategic supplier for critical enterprise applications in highly demanding environments, such as Financial Services and Government agencies.
ebizQ received the following:
Red Hat Enterprise MRG is a revolutionary distributed computing platform that provides exceptional performance through reliable enterprise messaging, realtime capabilities and advanced grid and high-throughput computing technologies.
Red Hat Enterprise MRG builds on Red Hat's Linux Automation strategy, announced last month, which focuses on enabling any application to run anywhere, at any time. This gives customers genuine competitive advantage: the ability to run transactions and applications faster, while enabling new levels of quality-of-service, reliability, interoperability, standards support and system utilization.
Red Hat Enterprise MRG supports a full spectrum of distributed task requirements, including:
- High-speed, reliable or large-file messaging
- Parallel and desktop cycle-stealing scheduling
- High Throughput Computing (HTC)
- Realtime, predictable transaction latency
- Distributed workload management
"As a working group member of AMQP, Cisco has been collaborating with Red Hat for over 18 months on low-latency optimization of AMQP and MRG Messaging open middleware protocols across InfiniBand compute fabrics," said Bill Erdman, marketing director, Data Center Technology Group at Cisco. "Through this collaboration with Red Hat we are insuring that MRG is fully interoperable and offers enhanced services, including quality of service, manageability and increased delivery reliability."
The messaging and grid capabilities are deployable in multiple environments, and are specifically optimized for use with the realtime capabilities that are included for use in Red Hat Enterprise Linux configurations. This proven leadership enables Red Hat to offer customers unparalleled expertise in the development, deployment and support of realtime systems.
“Bringing realtime capabilities to mainstream Linux has been a joint effort of the IBM Linux Technology Center, Red Hat and the Linux community,” said Keith Bright, program director Linux Technology Center, IBM Corp. “"The realtime Linux solution was first developed in response to a request of IBM by Raytheon and the United States Navy for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer project on IBM Blade Center technology. The resulting technology is a fine example of combining commercial opportunities and open source technology and the open source community. It is the participation of companies like Red Hat and IBM along with open source community assistance and acceptance, that adds value for everyone in the marketplace. Building a solution in this manner (though special at first) provides for a better supported solution and makes it available to everyone. It has been a great collaboration effort.”
