2012 Red Hat Summit: Brian Stevens, Red Hat keynote

In this keynote from the 2012 Red Hat Summit and JBoss World, Brian Stevens, chief technology officer and vice president of engineering at Red Hat, shares our technology roadmap and clarifies the commitment to fueling our customers' enterprises and helping everyone innovate to meet our cumulative goals and challenges.

In a talk studded with supporting video--from Facebook, Rackspace, Nicera, and 10gen--Stevens discusses the growth of data and resource needs, and the changing systems and standards that must continue to develop to support it.

Standard, open operating systems like Red Hat Enterprise Linux on commodity hardware deployed as nodes create the foundation for flexible computing. Projects like Hadoop and OpenStack create technology and standards that make it possible to move workloads and consume data where and when its needed.

The evolution of software-defined networking creates a common set of tools and templates that can apply to any system, whether it's in a public, private, or hybrid cloud. Open standards allow applications to be shared, and common tools, interfaces, and management mean that systems can work together.

A best-of-breed toolset is available in OpenShift, the cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering from Red Hat that includes cutting-edge resources like MongoDB and more.

Systems like this--and standards like those created in projects like OpenShift--make it possible for all of us to do more with less, and use the reclaimed resources to power the next generation of innovation.
