U.S. Department of Energy Labs
Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT), the world’s leading provider of open source to the enterprise, today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Lab CIOs made an agreement for broad deployment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for systems in the DOE National Laboratories and Technology Centers to attain the highest levels of price performance, reliability and maintainability.
In order to achieve the science and technology goals, sustainable consistency in the computing enterprise is essential for the DOE National Laboratories and Technology Centers. Guaranteed support for seven years, the commitment to open source assurance, and proven price performance benchmarks were key factors in the decision-making process for standardization on Red Hat. Additionally, Red Hat Network and Satellite Server provide new levels of systems management capability resulting in improved overall security, policy enforcement and quality control.
“Over the past decade open source software, especially Linux, has helped revolutionize high performance cluster computing and we expect it to continue to help us push the price performance envelope,” said Roy Whitney, CIO, Jefferson Lab and Secretary of the DOE Lab Directors’ System of Labs Computing Coordinating Committee. “Equally important, DOE lab systems require a secure, highly reliable and high performance environment that runs on systems ranging from the desktop to the high-end clusters.”
