Open Source Architecture

Operating systems. Middleware. Applications. Management tools. All connected naturally in the way you need them connected. Without the restrictions of a proprietary platform.

Originally introduced in October 2003, the Open Source Architecture is Red Hat's long-term vision for the deployment of open source solutions. It assembles a suite of standards-based technologies and services, which allows open source and traditional software applications to deployed in a predictable environment. The OSA also provides comprehensive systems management that enables improved efficiency in provisioning, asset management, and application monitoring, as well as scalability enhancements that reduce IT staffing costs.

Whether solutions from Red Hat, partners, or the community, open source means you can combine the elements you need and build your architecture around you.
