Making open source more inclusive by eradicating problematic language

2020年 6月 30日Chris Wright

Open source has always been about differing voices coming together to share ideas, iterate, challenge the status quo, solve problems, and innovate quickly.

Red Hat is fortunate to be able to see the impact of this collaboration daily, and this is why our business has also always been rooted in these values…阅读全文

Red Hat, IBM and SAP: Collaborating on bridging the intelligent enterprise with a cloud-native future

2020年 6月 25日Chris Wright

At Red Hat, we believe that the open hybrid cloud is the future. Realizing the opportunity it offers rests on balancing data strategies, business models, and using the latest innovation.

In some cases, it was even technology that may not have appeared to have production applications. The technologies we depend on today were once emerging technologies that weren’t guaranteed to make it into production…阅读全文

How Red Hat helped to build Summit, America’s top science supercomputer

2018年 6月 8日Chris Wright, CTO, Red Hat

Supercomputers and scientific research tend to go hand-in-hand. Designed for solving fundamental scientific problems, such as finding a cure for cancer and harnessing fusion energy, supercomputers recently have increasingly become more open in terms of global collaboration and information exchange among researchers. Contrast this with the fact that, in the past, supercomputer designs and implementations were relatively closed, often built by a single vendor from their inventory of components…阅读全文
