Are you a CTO, CISO, CDO, or thought leader responsible for open source strategy for your company? If so, don’t miss out on Red Hat NEXT! This is Red Hat’s annual event for deep dives on all things Emerging Technologies, coming up on September 15th. This year’s...
When developing a new technology, it really helps if you are also a user of that new tech. This has been an approach of Red Hat around artificial intelligence and machine learning -- develop openly on one hand, exchanging knowledge across the organization to use the...
The prospect of true machine learning is a tangible goal for data scientists and researchers. It has been long known that the platform on which such ML apps can run have to be fast and hyper efficient so that learning can be that much faster. This is the motivation...
The concept of artificial intelligence, which seemed so much like science fiction a few decades ago, has made real, practical inroads in producing results that organizations can find useful. What’s making those results happen, though, isn’t esoteric pie-in-the-sky...
(There’s a great new conference in the U.S., DevConf.US, returning in 2019 to Boston University (15 to 17 Aug). This highly-technical conference is interested in drawing a diverse group of speakers and attendees, with a specific emphasis on people who are new to...
The Mass Open Cloud (MOC) is an open cloud exchange that provides compute resources to university researchers. The virtualization infrastructure is built on Red Hat OpenStack Platform, using Foreman for provisioning and Ceph for distributed storage. But the MOC has...
Experimenting with machine learning algorithms or integrating such techniques into an existing environment often presents challenges, like selecting and deploying the right infrastructure, in addition to having the necessary data science background and skills, etc. In...
Unikernels are customized, single address space bootable images composed of an application and the required bare-minimum kernel functionality. Today’s unikernels have demonstrated substantial performance and security advantages over monolithic and microkernels, but...
Open source software is good. Open source plus open data is even better. That makes initiatives such as the Open Data Hub both useful in and of themselves and as a template for maintaining control over your data. Access to, and the ability to collaboratively build...
The world of multi-tenant bare metal cloud computing in the datacenter is increasingly important. With tenants being offered their own servers rather than locked-down VMs or compute services, the potential for innovation is much higher. Mass Open Cloud...
As an industry we look to open source communities as our core innovation engine. At Red Hat we're always monitoring, participating in, and even creating these open source communities. Here’s how you can garner some insight into where the industry, and Red Hat,...

At the first signs of Spring, all Red Hatters turn at least one eye toward Red Hat Summit. Over the years, we’ve had many conversations with attendees about what kind of information and perspectives they’d like to hear at Summit. We learned that attendees appreciated...
Sitting in the frigid air-conditioned room somewhere under the surface of a tropical island, it soon became obvious that I was very likely the dumbest person in the place. And, if the men and women around me have their druthers, in a few years, I might not be the...
Blockchain is everybody’s latest buzzword–right up there with AI and IoT–but what does it mean, and how is it relevant to the enterprise? The answer to those questions is likely “a lot,” but before we get to that, let’s define what a blockchain is–and isn’t. So What...
As a result of long-term cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University, especially in the area of teaching, Red Hat has opened an open source laboratory directly on the University grounds on October 26th, 2016. The reason behind...
