Navigating the complexities of 5G and AI requires telecommunications service providers to move beyond the restrictive, vendor-locked vertical architectures of the past. Legacy, single-vendor vertical stacks, once the industry standard, have become the primary bottleneck to growth. These rigid architectures lock operators into slow innovation cycles and unsustainable operational expenditure (OpEx). As network complexity explodes at the edge, the traditional model of "one vendor per domain" creates isolated silos that are impossible to automate at scale and too expensive to maintain.To thrive, t

We continue to see many organizations accelerate their infrastructure modernization plans and choose Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization as their future-ready foundation for traditional virtual machine (VM) workloads. That being said, when you’re tasked with moving hundreds or thousands of legacy VMs into a cloud-native environment, speed and security are critical.The latest release of Red Hat’s migration toolkit for virtualization is version 2.12, and is in line with Red Hat OpenShift 4.22. This new release focuses on advanced storage processing, extending source provider support, and AI opt

Red Hat OpenShift 4.22 delivers a platform designed to meet the necessary balance of agility, security, and efficiency for your IT team. This release introduces significant advancements across the board, from hardening zero-trust security and streamlining hybrid cloud virtualization to automating complex cluster operations and providing a robust, production-ready foundation for AI/ML workloads. By shifting the focus from manual management to intelligent, platform-native automation, OpenShift 4.22 empowers organizations to modernize their infrastructure without the operational friction, ensurin

As organizations accelerate AI investments and scale across the hybrid cloud, technology choice only becomes more important. Choice is now a fundamental driver of corporate financial strategy, legal risk mitigation, and long-term asset protection. This means IT infrastructure must do more than just run workloads. It needs to actively protect profit margins and fuel differentiated offerings.Red Hat OpenShift 4.22, now generally available, serves as an engine for IT choice, paired with enhanced security, compliance, and cost control features to keep enterprise environments moving forward.

Following the recent GA of the AWS M9g series as the first instances powered by the new Graviton5 CPUs, I recently ran benchmarks looking at Graviton4 vs. Graviton5 CPU performance. There was very nice generational gains for the new AWS Graviton processors with the shift from Arm Neoverse-V2 to Neoverse-V3 cores and from DDR5-5600 to DDR5-8800 memory, among other improvements. For those wondering how the Graviton5 ARM server processors compare to AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon, here are some additional comparison data points from the Amazon EC2 cloud.

Stemming from looking at a proposed Linux kernel patch to alter the Linux kernel's system call number handling, veteran Linux kernel developer Thomas Gleixner went down a rabbit hole of the kernel's system call entry handling to make a number of clean-ups and improvements to the code. That rework to the system call entry handling is now expected to land for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle...
