Red Hat ‘plays well with others’ | #RHSummit

While Red Hat, Inc. has its own public Cloud strategy, it also plays well with others, according to Jason Nash, director of Next Gen Architectures at Sirius Computer Systems, Inc.

“Red Hat says: ‘Run this on whatever you want to run it on,'” Nash told theCUBE at the Red Hat Summit in Boston, Mass.

“People like that level of choice,” added Nash. “Red Hat has an advantage because a lot of times they’ll make it easy before the community makes it easy, and it’s what a lot of customers want.”

The market is ready for open source

Nash feels that the market is ready for open source, but customers do not want to gamble on cutting-edge technology. This gives opportunity to companies that offer proven solutions. “Red Hat can become the standard; they have credibility and vendor relationships,” he said.

Watch Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman’s full interview with Jason Nash below, and be sure to check out more of SiliconANGLE and theCUBE’s coverage of Red Hat Summit 2015.
