#RedHat executive Irshad Raihan recently spoke to me about a software package -- Red Hat Hyper-Converged Infrastructure ( #HCI ) -- that the company put together to address the needs of enterprises using #hyperconverged systems. This package is made up of previously available Red Hat products. Red Hat's HCI is completely open source and production ready. It's designed to address "… challenges by integrating compute and storage together on a single server, making it a well-suited solution for low-footprint remote or branch office installations and edge computing." It has the following components: Red Hat Virtualization. The company's KVM-based virtual machine software platform. Red Hat Gluster Storage. The company's storage virtualization technology. The company describes this as "highly scalable software-defined storage that can be converged on the same hardware as Red Hat Virtualization hosts, removing the need for additional compute infrastructures and simplifying deployment." Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat's Linux distribution. Ansible by Red Hat. An IT automation framework recently acquired by Red Hat. Ansible is designed to provide "automated installation and configuration from a central point."
