Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions to the
enterprise, recently announced two significant milestones related to its
acquisition of JBoss. As of today, multi-platform JBoss enterprise middleware
subscriptions are available to Red Hat channel partners globally, through major
distributors. In addition, the new Red Hat Application Stack subscription, an
integrated solution of leading open source technology, is available online on
Red Hat Network.
“Ninety days ago, Red Hat invested in the future of open source in the
enterprise by acquiring JBoss,” said Tim Yeaton, Senior VP-Enterprise
Solutions, Red Hat. “Today, we reach one of our first milestones as customers,
developers and partners can now tangibly benefit from the new JBoss channel
offerings and the integrated, tested Red Hat Application Stack.”

As the open source alternative to integrated proprietary application
platforms, the Red Hat Application Stack is perfect for running standards-based
LAMP or Java-based applications. The Red Hat Application Stack includes
end-to-end support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, JBoss Application Server, JBoss
Hibernate and the leading open source databases, including MySQL and PostgreSQL.
It is delivered in a clear and simple subscription model that includes the
software, support, updates and upgrades, all delivered online through Red Hat
Network. Future Red Hat stacks will seek to combine open source technologies
into solutions specifically optimized for vertical markets, such as
telecommunications and healthcare.
Red Hat is meeting the rising demand for open source in global channels by
making all JBoss middleware solutions, including the Red Hat Application Stack,
now available through major global distributors. The Red Hat Application Stack
offering is ideal for resellers who want to deliver a simple, easy-to-order,
integrated solution in a low-cost subscription model with no client access
licenses or extra support or maintenance fees. Red Hat resellers and JBoss
partners will find that the combination of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss
middleware technologies now provides their customers with a strong foundation to
realize the benefits of open source, as well as a low-cost on-ramp to
service-oriented architectures (SOA).
“These cost-effective solutions from Red Hat will definitely enable our
customers to actualize the power of open source and service-oriented
architectures” said John Zamierowski, Director-Sales, Melillo Consulting,
Inc.
