works with the various product teams, en-

gineering and project managers to help in-

fluence the technical direction of Red Hat’s

Red Hat Network Satellite is Red Hat’s

on-premises systems management solu-

tion that provides software updates, con-

figuration management, provisioning, and

monitoring across both physical and virtual

Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers. Live

from the Red Hat Summit yesterday,

Red Hat released the latest version of the

product: Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3.

Globally available and delivered to cus-

tomers with a Red Hat Network Satellite

subscription, Satellite 5.3 is the first re-

lease based off of the open source project

Spacewalk, first announced at last year’s

Red Hat Summit in June 2008. The release

contains many exciting new features that

are grouped around three key themes:

Leveraging and including cutting-edge 1.

open source systems management proj-

ects such as Cobbler.

Easier management of larger, complex 2.

environments.

Expanded automation and virtualization 3.

capabilities.

With Satellite 5.3, customers receive

powerful open source technologies backed

by the Red Hat subscription, delivering the

feature-richness of the community develop-

ment model combined with the commercial

support to run mission-critical applications

in the enterprise. Customers are offered

enhancements, including increased flex-

ibility and faster provisioning setups with

the incorporation of more mature Cobbler

technology in the product’s underlying pro-

visioning architecture.

“Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3 enables

customers to manage large deployments

more easily and with comparable performance to smaller deployments.”

Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3 also en-

ables customers to manage large deploy-

ments more easily and with comparable

performance to smaller deployments due

to enhanced scalability improvements,

such as code optimization, designed to en-

able faster execution when managing mul-

tiple systems.

Customers also benefit from content

sharing between Satellite servers that is

now faster and provides greater consistency

with the ability to share content between

different organizations in the Satellite

server given Satellite’s improved multi-

tenancy capabilities and inter-Satellite syn-

chronization improvements. Satellite can

also now be more easily and smoothly inte-

grated into customers’ existing automated

processes given its improved open and ex-

tensible APIs.

The product also offers the ability to up-

date, provision, and monitor both physical

and virtual Red Hat Enterprise Linux sys-

tems. With virtual platform management

capabilities that allow customers to create

and entitle Red Hat Enterprise Linux sys-

tems with the ability to install the same

system profiles physically and virtually in a

repeatable, centrally managed way, it frees

up administrator’s time to focus on higher

value-add projects.

These enhancements in Red Hat Net-

work Satellite 5.3 can ultimately save en-

terprises time and money while delivering

a more consistent operating environment

that helps to drive down long-term opera-

tional expenses.

partner keynote.

Cisco and Red Hat,

long-time technol-

ogy partners, an-

nounced in March

of this year that

they would work to-

gether to deliver Red Hat Enterprise Linux

software with the Cisco Unified Computing

System, a groundbreaking solution that

helps customers deploy mission-critical

applications in a virtualized, high-perfor-

mance datacenter environment. Cisco be-

came an original equipment manufacturer

(OEM) for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux

platform, allowing customers to purchase

the complete solution from Cisco with ser-

vices and support.

“...working to help unify technologies, simplify operations and amplify

datacenter virtualization business results”

The companies today continue to col-

laborate around virtualization, including

Red Hat’s forthcoming Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization portfolio and cloud comput-

ing. Together the companies are working

to help customers unify technologies, sim-

plify operations and amplify datacenter vir-

tualization business results with the combi-

nation of Cisco and Red Hat technologies.

Fulgham is responsible for overall out-

bound marketing programs, product mar-

keting and field enablement, and partner

ecosystem marketing for Cisco Data Center

Virtualization. Fulgham has more than 25

years of experience in information technol-

ogy service provider, product, and end-user

organizations.

“The Red Hat Summit presents a great

opportunity to share how Cisco has col-

laborated with Red Hat to help customers

unify technologies, simplify operations and

amplify datacenter virtualization business

results with the Cisco Unified Computing

System,” said Fulgham. “We’re excited to

share our technology expertise with at-

tendees and build on our long-term tech-

nology collaboration and relationship with

Red Hat.”

Management, Middleware, Red Hat. “After

rigorous testing and hardening of the tech-

nology we expect to deliver a high-value

portal platform with superior performance

to our customers.”

The project is launched and is now

available for download and developer

contribution.

In addition to the launch of the project,

the JBoss portal community has been ex-

tended beyond the GateIn Project to in-

clude a number of strategic partnerships

with Alfresco, JasperSoft and RivetLogic.

These partners have committed to certify-

ing technologies such as portlets and ex-

tensions to the technology that emerges

from the GateIn project.

Ultimately, the GateIn project is intended

to form the foundation for Red Hat’s future

portal infrastructure products and aims to

enable organizations to create rich portal-

based application experiences for users.

The partnerships will present customers

with an opportunity to create compelling

and flexible portal solutions based upon

GateIn and the JBoss Enterprise Portal

Platform without the cost, complexity and

vendor lock-in associated with many portal

vendors.

munity GateIn project, vist jboss.org/

gatein. For more information about

Portal Platform, vist jboss.com/resources/

Red Hat continues its tradition as the top

contributor to the Linux kernel, according

to a recent report published by The Linux

Foundation. The report focuses on over

four years of kernel history as represented

by the 2.6.11 through 2.6.30 releases. Once

again, Red Hat tops the list with 7,897

changes contributed, or 12% of the total.

A summary of the top five company re-

sults follow in the table below:

COmpaNY CHANGES % OF TOTaL

None 26,644 18.2%

Red Hat 17,981 12.3%

Unknown 11,164 7.6%

IBM 11,151 7.6%

Novell 11,046 7.6%

Red Hat is also proud that many of the

top kernel developers recognized in the re-

port are Red Hat employees. For example,

David Miller, Ingo Molnar and Al Viro, all Red

Hatters, are the top three known individual

contributors. They alone contributed 4.5%

of the total changes.

It’s good to see numbers like this, and

given the large scale of resources Red Hat

puts into making Linux enterprise-ready,

the numbers are not too surprising. While

the numbers are nice, customers do not

choose Red Hat because its engineers are

big kernel contributors.

“The most valuable aspect of the numbers

in The Linux Foundation report is that they

illustrate exactly how much work goes into the

Linux kernel...”

Red Hat’s focus is to provide a commer-

cial-strength environment for its custom-

ers that includes the features they need

such as security, performance, scalability,

stable APIs, etc. It involves a lot of core de-

velopment. The most valuable aspect of the

numbers in The Linux Foundation report is

that they illustrate exactly how much work

goes into the Linux kernel, and how dedi-

cated Red Hat is to the open source devel-

opment model.

RED HAT TOPS LIST OF KERNEL cONTRIBUTIONS

The JBoss Community has long been the

birthplace for cutting-edge innovation and

collaboration for middleware technologies.

Today we are taking that one step further

by launching the GateIn project in the

JBoss community. The GateIn project is the

next generation of both the JBoss Portal

and the eXo Portal projects. This is the first

major deliverable based upon the JBoss

and eXo collaboration that began earlier in

the year.

The project’s goal is to provide a best-

of-breed open source portal platform com-

bining a robust and enterprise grade Java

infrastructure from JBoss with the intuitive

user-friendly interface capabilities of eXo

Platform. Key features that are currently

being considered for inclusion in GateIn

include granular management of virtual

portals, drag-and-drop layouts, contextual

menuing and navigational controls, new

security and identity administration panels

and full support for open social applica-

tions. Ultimately, GateIn is intended to car-

ry a balance between feature-rich capabili-

ties and lightweight flexibility that are the

hallmarks of the prior portal projects from

JBoss and eXo.

“The GateIn project represents the ad-

vantages of working through the open

source development model; through col-

laboration we are creating cutting-edge

innovation combined with a community of

support to ensure that the best technol-

ogy features make it into the project,” said

Discount Tire, the world’s largest indepen-

dent tire and wheel retailer, has achieved

success with a combination of Red Hat

Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Satellite for

its rapidly growing e-commerce business.

With Red Hat solutions, Discount Tire has

experienced increased performance, reli-

ability, staff productivity and scalability for

its critical IT infrastructure.

When Discount Tire decided to bring

the management of its e-commerce infra-

structure in-house, the IT team originally

built the e-commerce system based on a

Windows platform, but the solution did

not meet Discount Tire’s performance, re-

liability and stability needs. Additionally,

Discount Tire’s use of IBM Lotus Domino

Server, previously running on Windows,

had reliability and downtime issues.

After extensive testing, Discount Tire

selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux for its

critical systems. Red Hat Enterprise Linux

now runs Discount Tire’s entire e-commerce

operation, as well as its Lotus Domino

application.

“Our e-commerce environment has to be

available 24/7/365 at 99.99% availability,

making it absolutely mission-critical. Our

internal applications running under Red

Hat Enterprise Linux include inventory

management and email — things that people

cannot live without. We have been able to

trust Red Hat explicitly that everything will

just work,” said Will Darton, senior server

support administrator for Discount Tire.

“With the combination of Red Hat

Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Satellite and the

expertise of Red Hat Consulting, our sys-

tems are more reliable than ever. Satellite

is my Swiss army knife - I haven’t found

anything I can’t make it do,” said Darton.

“Also, since migrating Lotus Domino to

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, performance

has increased and we’ve been able to free

up IT resources to focus on more strategic

issues.”
