Cloud infrastructure: Open source is where it's at
Featured story
Why the future of the cloud is open
How you build your cloud determines how competitive, flexible, and cost-effective your business can be for the next 10 years. Done right, a cloud can redirect resources from maintaining the status quo to supporting new ideas. Migrating to the cloud helps, but only an open hybrid cloud approach delivers the full business value promised by cloud computing.

Customer spotlight
Cloud solution helps boost U.S. rail safety
Positive train control (PTC) technology automatically stops trains before certain types of accidents occur. PTC is required in the U.S., but implementing it is beyond the financial means and expertise of many railroads.
Herzog Technologies, a rail signal and communications company, worked with Red Hat to develop an innovative cloud solution that lets railroads of all sizes adopt PTC technology—at a fraction of the cost of in-house PTC deployment—helping make rail transportation safer and more efficient.
