Red Hat, Inc.
and Nutanix announced
an expanded collaboration to use
Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an element of Nutanix Cloud Platform.
The Nutanix Cloud Platform provides a consistent cloud operating model
with a single platform for running applications and data across hybrid
multicloud endpoints. Nutanix delivers resilience with self-healing
nodes, persistent storage natively integrated to best support modern
application deployments, performance and capacity scale linearly.
Additionally, the Nutanix Cloud Platform can help deliver cost
efficiencies by eliminating unused compute and storage resources. The
foundation of this platform is Nutanix AOS, which combines components of
a traditional operating system with additional services and packages.
Through this expanded collaboration, Nutanix AOS will now build on the
enterprise-ready innovation Red Hat delivers with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux for traditional operating system capabilities. This enables
Nutanix to focus on the novel intellectual property delivered by Nutanix
AOS, providing a more consistent cloud operating model for running
applications and data across hybrid multicloud endpoints.
Many of the fastest, most innovative high performance computing environments
in the world use Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the standardized platform
for underlying Linux management and maintenance tasks. By addressing
these IT needs with the world's leading enterprise Linux platform,
technology teams are able to better focus on the operational tasks that
matter, freeing up crucial resources to help deliver the innovations
that make customers and end users more successful.
With an IT foundation established with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat customers can help realize key benefits such as:
-
Direct access to enterprise-grade Linux experts specifically dedicated to the needs of a flexible, scalable Linux operating system.
-
Enhanced stability for hybrid cloud infrastructure to help
organizations more consistently manage and scale cloud-native workloads
from on-premises datacenters to multiple public clouds.
-
Access to trusted, security-optimized Linux to support greater
resilience, with backing from Red Hat's product security and security
incident response teams to generate faster responses to potential
security vulnerabilities.
As part of this extended collaboration, Nutanix will also contribute to CentOS Stream,
working with Red Hat and the broader open source community on
hypervisor functionality, networking and storage performance for
emerging artificial intelligence (AI) workloads on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. By joining CentOS Stream, Nutanix will be able to contribute to
and fuel future distributions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to help
accelerate the adoption of more performant applications on the Nutanix
Cloud Platform.
