RALEIGH, N.C.--BUSINESS WIRE--Red Hat, Inc. NYSE: RHT, the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced another endorsement of Red Hat Enterprise

“Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides the high availability,

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization was delivered to the market in
November 2009 and has since been adopted by a number of global
technology leaders, including IBM and NTT Com, as the technology base
for their enterprise cloud offerings. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization,
designed for the demands of the cloud, aims to create a secure, scalable
environment for sharing resources among multiple users and organizations
and for managing them simply and flexibly.
NTT Com, an original Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization beta customer,
worked with Red Hat during the development of the KVM-based
virtualization platform. The companies continue this collaboration today
with NTT Com's selection of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
platform for its pioneering commercial cloud service.
“Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides the high availability,
reliability, security and scalability that we desired for the foundation
of our new cloud offering,” said Masato Minamisawa, executive manager of
IP Technology Department, Business Network Services Division at NTT
Communications. “We believe that Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is
the efficient virtualization technology to run the workloads that our
enterprise customers will deploy on our cloud service today.”
“Every cloud needs a secure, scalable and robust foundational
virtualization layer, and we believe that Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization offers these benefits for cloud environments today,” said
Scott Crenshaw, vice president and general manager, Cloud Business Unit
at Red Hat. “NTT Com's selection of our virtualization platform for its
innovative new cloud service further establishes Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization as a compelling, enterprise-ready virtualization and
cloud solution. We're also excited to expand our Premier Certified Cloud
Provider Program today with the addition of NTT as a new cloud partner.”
