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.

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.

The recent public announcement of the broader MRG product suite marks a significant milestone for Red Hat’s realtime development team. This announcement formalized Red Hat’s product commitment to realtime — a significant step toward the upcoming product availability. This is extremely gratifying for the development team — to see the fruits of several years of effort come that much closer to imminently being deployed by demanding customers.
It has been a long road in getting the bulk of the realtime feature set successfully incorporated upstream. This wasn’t easy due to the strict upstream kernel acceptance criteria. A tough crowd to please, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. The high bar for design and code review, while it can appreciably lengthen the process, ultimately yields a superior implementation. It took a lot of patience and community-development skills to pull off the leadership of the realtime initiative. We’d rather have things done right than hastily.

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.

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 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.
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.
