Myth #2: The Operating System Impedes Innovation
VMware Predicts Death To Operating Systems, Information Week, August 2007
"If you have something this complex, it's also really hard to innovate..."
"It's [the operating system] just going to go away"

Linux is the dominant cloud platform with 76 percent of cloud-enabled organizations using Linux servers for the cloud.1
74 percent of organizations are planning to maintain or increase their use of Linux for future cloud initiatives.1
Nearly 3 out of every 4 (72%) enterprises choose Linux to support big data.2

Myth #3: The Cloud Isn’t Safe
“...compared to the average data center, cloud security is both more rigorous and more strenuously monitored than a heterogeneous enterprise data center's security can be.”

“The Linux example has made believers out of many IT managers when it comes to open source. Cloud computing may be the next place where open source systems match or surpass the proprietary competition.”
8 out of 10 clouds are built on Linux1

1 Linux Adoption Trends 2012: A Survey of Enterprise End Users, Linux Foundation, January 18, 20122 Windows 8? It Won’t Win Microsoft’s Biggest Battle, Robert Mcmillan, Wired, October 25, 2012
“Linux is twice as popular as Windows on
Amazon Web Services.”2
“On the RackSpace cloud, the split is even starker: 75 %to 25 %,
again in favor of Linux.”2

Users show a clear preference for Linux as the foundation for supporting the increasing level of big data and achieving productivity and security
gains with virtualization and cloud computing at the expense of Windows and Unix.
Linux’s Role In Today’s Biggest IT Trends
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform,
providing IT leaders thekind of stability that frees you to take
on your biggest challenges now, theflexibility to do what’s most important in the future,
and an ecosystem of solutions and support that will be at your side, no matter what.
The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing
ESSENTIALCHARACTERISTICS
•On-demand self-service
•Broad network access
•Resource pooling
•Rapid elasticity
•Measured service
SERVICE MODELS
•Software as a service (SaaS)
•Platform as a service (PaaS)
•Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
DEPLOYMENT MODELS
•Public Cloud
•Community Cloud
•Private Cloud
•Hybrid Cloud
“The NIST definition characterizes important aspects of cloud computing and is intended to serve as a means for broad comparisons
of cloud services and deployment strategies, and to provide a baseline for discussion from what is cloud computing to how to best
use cloud computing.”

● Architectural support that transcends specific hardware vendors
● Commitment to maintaining stability across a long product life cycle
● Deployment flexibility to provision an application instance to physical, virtual or even public cloud
Red Hat OpenStack for Cloud Platforms
● Red Hat OpenStack optimized for Red Hat Enterprise Linux● Designed to easily scale out● Based on (growing) set of core services
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is Open and Standards-based
“Our research shows that 80 percent of enterprises cite the lack of interoperability standards as a challenge in adopting cloud computing services. Red Hat is on the right track with cloud by accelerating interoperability and portability to prevent cloud lock-in.”
