Red Hat Adds New Training Course, New Benefits for RHCEs
by Training and Certification Team
RH142 Linux Troubleshooting Techniques and Tools
Starting July 21, 2008, Red Hat is kicking off a new course for Linux Troubleshooting in our Tysons Corner, Virginia training facility. The course, RH142 Linux Troubleshooting Techniques and Tools, teaches participants various techniques for troubleshooting a Linux system and explores a variety of troubleshooting tools available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The four-day course is intended for Linux system administrators who want to broaden their understanding of troubleshooting on Linux.
A few of the topics covered in this course include:

Red Hat Innovator of the Year 2008
by Lee Congdon, Chief Information Officer
I was fortunate to be asked to judge the Red Hat Innovator of the Year awards this year. As I reviewed each of the entries, I was struck by the diversity and creativity of the solutions they described. The range of innovation was fascinating and the business value delivered was outstanding.
This was the second year of the Innovation Awards. A panel of judges, including myself, selected six finalists in a variety of categories. Each had compelling stories of their use of Red Hat and other open source solutions. I encourage you to read their full submissions to see all of the amazing work they’ve done.
The six category finalists that we announced early last week included:
Last Friday at the closing ceremony of the Red Hat Summit in Boston, IBM and Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems’ combined work for the US Navy was recognized as the Red Hat Innovator of the Year. A key theme discussed at the Summit this year was customer-, community- and partner-driven innovation, and IBM and Raytheon’s submission in the Creative Use category was outstanding evidence of this type of collaboration.
IBM and Raytheon created an open architecture environment to improve realtime programmer productivity, reduce realtime application development times and reduce the total cost of ownership for the US Navy’s Zumwalt project. Using IBM WebSphere Realtime, Red Hat Enterprise MRG Realtime, BladeCenter and System x servers and leveraging the community around the software, the US Navy was given a first-of-its-kind architecture that has led to further innovation in the development of realtime functionality. It was a very impressive effort.
Red Hat Gets the Green Light as ‘Greenest’ Operating System
by RHEL5 Team
The environment and green issues have become pervasive across all facets of life. Everyone is keen to ‘go green’ whether it’s cutting down on water usage, recycling, driving a hybrid car or any number of other initiatives. It’s no different at Red Hat, where we are working hard to deliver greener products and solutions. A recent Network World test examining power consumption to determine the ‘greener’ operating system validates Red Hat’s efforts to move toward green computing.
Network World ran multiple power consumption tests using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, SUSE Enterprise Linux 10 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on servers from Dell, IBM and HP. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ranked at the top in keeping the power draw in check, pulling as much as 12 percent less power than Windows 2008 on identical hardware. This reduced power draw was evident across testing in both performance and power saving modes and transcended all server models used in the test bed.

OpenJDK and the IcedTea Project
by JBoss Team
At JavaOne in May 2006, Sun Microsystems announced they were going to release Java as free software under the terms of the GPL. The size of the task (6.5 million lines of code) was only eclipsed by the size of the opportunity for Java as a free and open technology.
At JavaOne in May 2007, Sun announced that the work was largely completed and so OpenJDK was launched. What was less newsworthy was the fact that on release - OpenJDK still relied on code that was encumbered - between four and five percent of the code was closed, non free source that Sun didn’t own.

Customers Drive Innovation In Red Hat Enterprise MRG
by Red Hat Enterprise MRG Team
Today we announced the availability of version one of Red Hat Enterprise MRG, delivering on the announcement of the MRG beta made in December 2007. Our customers and partners alike have contributed immensely to the innovation that has resulted in MRG – we’ll focus on the contributions from our MRG beta customers to date in this blog, but be sure to see the highlights of our partner contributions as well.
Beta customers become involved in projects with Red Hat as early innovators and adopters of our solutions to help us define future releases and bring innovative solutions to market quickly. We’re sounding boards for each other to see what tweaks and patterns work best in different project architectures, what challenges custom workloads will face so that we can provide improved performance and a compelling solution to customers at GA.

Partners Work with Red Hat to Deliver Red Hat Enterprise MRG
by Red Hat Enterprise MRG Team
Today we announced the availability of version one of Red Hat Enterprise MRG, delivering on the announcement of the MRG beta made in December 2007. Our partners have made large contributions that, coupled with the innovation delivered by our beta customers, have helped us deliver on MRG today. AMD, Cisco, IBM, SUN, Intel, Amazon, University of Wisconsin, Madison and HP have all made significant contributions today.
IBM and Sun have worked closely with Red Hat on Realtime. Both are certifying their realtime Java solutions on MRG – IBM is doing so exclusively. Additionally, Red Hat and IBM have been working together over the past several years on the development of a realtime platform for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer program. IBM and Raytheon are winners in this year’s Red Hat Innovation Awards for this development work.

Introducing Red Hat Enterprise IPA 1.0
by Security Team
We’re excited to announce two major bits of security news from the Red Hat Summit today:
After the completion of a successful beta test program that was launched at the RSA security conference in April, version 1.0 of Red Hat Enterprise IPA is now generally available. If you’re not familiar with the freeIPA project upon which Red Hat Enterprise IPA is based, it was started about a year ago as an open source, standards-based identity and access management solution for the Unix/Linux environment.

More on Red Hat’s Virtualization News
by RHEL5 Team
Today we made a series of exciting announcements around our continuing virtualization strategy.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was released nearly 18 months ago and delivered a powerful virtualization solution to every Red Hat Enterprise Linux customer. We’ve seen Red Hat’s integrated virtualization used in all manner of deployments, from single servers used in QA and development environments to large database systems deployed in mission-critical production deployments and all the way up to large-scale cloud deployments.
When we talk to the customers deploying Red Hat virtualization we hear the common themes: they’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars deploying Red Hat virtualization instead of proprietary products, they’ve been able to deploy virtualization on new workloads that previously couldn’t be virtualized due to performance limitations, such as databases and ERP systems and finally the simplicity of a integrated solution : “it just works!â€

Dr. John Halamka Speaks at the Red Hat Summit
by Healthcare Team
Dr. Halamka, CIO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, gave the visionary keynote on Wednesday at the Red Hat Summit, where over 1,000 Red Hat customers, partners and employees have gathered at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Dr. Halamka, an avid Red Hat user in the data center, spoke around two major themes in healthcare. First, he discussed how open standards in healthcare such as those led by the American Health Information Community will serve as a catalyst for improving the quality of care and efficiency in the U.S. Second, personalized medicine based on individualized analysis of genomic data will be used to diagnose and treat patients in a fundamentally different way. Open source is a key enabler for these changes: driving innovation, lowering cost and providing the basic infrastructure necessary for these trends to become a reality.
