Summary:
Pivoting off of last week’s Red Hat Summit, a look at its edge announcements and how Red Hat contributes to IBM’s broader growth strategy.
The network edge is the new battleground for IT product vendors and service providers as the nexus of ubiquitous connectivity, particularly low-latency 5G wireless and smart, connected devices and sensors are moving IT’s center of gravity away from consolidated data centers. The resulting explosion of locally-generated data promises to redistribute enterprise infrastructure after years of centralization in private data centers and hyperscale cloud environments.
The availability of computing hardware and analytical software capable of processing data in situ on compact, power-efficient systems at edge locations like retail stores, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and wireless base stations promises to extract previously untapped value from the myriad smart sensors, connected machines a

Red Hat introduced new managed cloud services at its 2021 summit and expanded the OpenShift Kubernetes platform with improved security, management, and Edge deployment features.
CEO Paul Cormier kicked off yesterday s keynote with a speech in praise of open source, stating that it s only the open-source model that brings collaboration across many global communities.
He reminisced about the first non-beta release of Red Hat Linux in May 1995. At the time Linux needed more enterprise attributes if companies were going to bet their businesses on it, he said, and the 2003 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) was introduced to bridge this gap.

Open-source software giant Red Hat Inc. is positioning its flagship operating system as the basis for multiple types of computing workloads at the edge of the network.
The company said today the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 is meant to serve as the foundation of its “Red Hat Edge initiative,” which aims to deliver the capabilities of its open hybrid cloud portfolio of software and services to applications operating at the edge.
Edge computing refers to the idea of bringing computation and data storage closer to devices that operate at the “edge” of the network. These could be, for instance, sensors on factory floors, cameras in retail stores and vehicles that are part of a much wider fleet. Traditionally, these devices and sensors would send the data they generate back to a cloud-based data center to be processed, which is fine if just one device is involved, but when you have multipl
