During its online Red Hat Summit this week, Red Hat announced it is donating software valued at $551 million to Boston University (BU) to advance open source software development and hybrid cloud computing.
The software contribution is the largest Red Hat has ever made to any single institution, said Hugh Brock, director of research for Red Hat. “The BU relationship is unique,” he said.
Red Hat is also renewing an existing collaborative research and development initiative for five years that is valued at $20 million. The partnership is rooted in a Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) initiative that includes BU, Harvard University, and the University of Massachusetts. The ultimate goal is to build a hybrid cloud computing environment based on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms that could be accessed as a cloud service by researchers anywhere in the world, said Brock.
