Red Hat Unveils Industry’s First Production-Ready Open Source Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Based on the reality that, organizations with distributed operations, such as those in the banking, energy or retail industries, need to be able to offer the same infrastructure services in remote and branch offices as they run in their datacenter, Red Hat, Inc. introduced Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure, the production-ready fully open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution.

One can observe that, by combining innovative virtualization and storage technologies with a stable, proven operating platform, Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure is designed to help enterprises to bring datacenter capabilities into locations with limited space, such as branch offices and other remote facilities.

For those who are unfamiliar, an open source, community-based approach helps to avoid the vendor lock-in of a proprietary approach and enables users to take advantage of the faster innovation emerging from open source communities.
