MRG Distinctions

Looking at the stories that have been written about Red Hat Enterprise MRG since our announcement on Tuesday, we think that it is worth pointing out a few additional distinctions about the offering. Some writeups have focused on MRG as a replacement for other vendor’s messaging products, such as Tibco and IBM WebSphereMQ. At Red Hat, we believe in freedom and choice and intend to continue to tune and support other messaging products and our partners’ messaging platforms–even if MRG overlaps in some use cases. To this end, MRG realtime has been developed with customers running many other vendors’ products (including all of the key messaging providers). The better we can make all of a customers’ products perform, the more our customers win–and we win too.

On October 29th, 2007, Sun Microsystems announced three new TPC-H performance results that are dramatically better than any previous result. These benchmarks are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 running the ParAccel Analytic Database on a cluster of fifteen SunFire x4100 systems (each configured with two dual-core AMD Opteron processors). The chart above provides a high-level summary of the results, extracted from the TPC-H website. It shows the quantum leap in performance that these results represent.

The Pieces of MRG

Contribution by Carl Trieloff, Senior Consulting Software Engineer at Red Hat

Today, the Red Hat crew announced a new offering called “Red Hat Enterprise MRG.” What is MRG? It is an interesting set of technologies (Messaging, Realtime and Grid) which, when combined, we believe will provide unprecedented value, power and flexibility to our customers. We have received feedback from our customers stating that in the same way they where able to get better performance using less hardware and at less cost when moving to Red Hat Enterprise Linux from other operating systems, they expect the same will happen when using MRG. This provides the next big building block in Red Hat’s Linux Automation story. More on this later. First, lets look at some of the pieces.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG: Red Hat, Customer-Driven Innovation and Open Source Leadership

Red Hat has shown that open source is one of the best ways to bring customer-driven innovation and leadership to the market. Today’s announcement of Red Hat Enterprise MRG provides a perfect example of this in many respects.

Spreading the Message of Open Source and Open Standards

Red Hat Enterprise MRG includes Red Hat’s implementation of AMQP-based ( Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) enterprise messaging. Both the MRG Messaging implementation and AMQP itself highlight Red Hat’s leadership and customer-driven innovation.

To Be, Rather Than to Seem

Red Hat is headquarted in North Carolina where the state motto is “Esse quam videri.” In Latin it means “To be, rather than to seem.” Loosely translated, it comes down to something like “Walk the walk.”

CIO Insight Magazine’s latest “Vendor Value” study ranks Red Hat as the most-valuable Enterprise Software Vendor for the fourth consecutive year, and best overall IT Vendor for the third time in four years. Ninety-seven percent of our customers said they would choose to continue to do business with us. With that kind of customer loyalty, Red Hat topped a list that included Google, Microsoft, Oracle, HP and Apple. We didn’t just outperform our competitors, we outperformed everyone. Not bad for a company with less than 2,500 employees.
