RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source

recovery, compliance, capacity and performance management and monitoring
to augment the reach and capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0. With these collaborations, we will offer joint
support for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and our partners'
certified products to our customers."
Red Hat today also introduced a central hub where all Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization ecosystem partners will showcase information on their
products via the Red Hat Market Place. The Market Place, available
within Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization or via http://marketplace.redhat.com/rhev,
offers a forum for collaboration, partner documentation such as data
sheets and solution guides, and trial evaluations of products and
applications certified for use with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
Evaluations of these certified products from the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization ecosystem are easily available within the Market Place,
allowing customers to trial new products alongside Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization within minutes.
Also introduced today is a new certification status, "Red Hat Enterprise

Products and solutions classified under this status are considered to
have a high-quality and meaningful integration with Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization. All applications showcased in the Red Hat Market Place
are Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization-Certified.
"Acronis has been part of the Red Hat ISV ecosystem since 2006, and we
continue to see growing demand for our solutions in the Red Hat
environment. By achieving certification on this new platform, we can
give enterprise customers the tools and the confidence to migrate their
data over to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0, knowing that it can
be well protected," said Izzy Azeri, senior vice president and general
manager, Acronis Americas.
"We are very pleased to announce support for Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization 3.0," said Chuck Tatham, SVP Operations and Business
Development at CiRBA. "Now organizations will be able to gain greater
control over efficiency and risk in Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization-based infrastructure with CiRBA's new Control Console.
Powered by CiRBA's analytics, the console reveals waste and inefficiency
in infrastructure and the precise changes required to address these
issues, ultimately enabling organizations to run leaner data centers
with lower risk."
"We are thrilled to join the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization ecosystem
to help Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization customers maximize service
performance and user productivity, and thereby deliver on the ROI
promise of transformational IT initiatives," said Srinivas Ramanathan,
founder and CEO of eG Innovations. "The eG Enterprise performance
management solution provides the industry's only virtualization-aware
service topology mapping and automatic correlation, which allows
administrators to monitor Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization server and
desktop platforms -- not as a silo but as an integral component of the
overall business service infrastructure. This unique approach delivers
deep, actionable insights into root causes of cross-domain service
performance issues and enables administrators to pre-emptively detect,
diagnose and fix root-cause issues before end users notice."
"Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 provides the features,
performance and scalability that enable IT organizations to lower the
cost of virtualization and cloud computing. ManageIQ is excited to
collaborate with Red Hat to deliver unified monitoring, management and
automation solutions that reduce the cost and complexity of enterprise
virtual and cloud environments," said Joseph Fitzgerald, CEO of ManageIQ.

developing the first application delivery controller (ADC) solutions
tailored to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environments," said Gilad
Zlotkin, vice president, Virtualization and Management Products R&D at
Radware. "Through this relationship, Radware will enable more enterprise
users to achieve the benefits of a fully virtualized application
delivery infrastructure including greater availability, agility and
performance of business-critical applications that run on top of the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization infrastructure, as well as savings in
capital and operational costs. We're excited for this strategic
collaboration, and for Red Hat customers to now acquire the power of
Radware's virtual ADC solutions through the Red Hat Market Place."
"As we expect most companies that use Red Hat Enterprise Linux to
virtualize using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, the availability of
our Sourcefire Virtual IPS Sensor and Sourcefire Virtual Defense Center™
on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is critical to companies who want
to extend their Next-Generation Network Security in both virtual and
physical platforms," said Matt McCormick, vice president of business
development at Sourcefire. "These same companies can benefit from our
extended collaboration with Red Hat, which will offer our virtual
products and demos through the Red Hat Market Place."

hypervisor platforms within their virtualized data centers and Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization offers unique hypervisor features that allow
us to deliver the capacity management support needed to support these
