BOSTON, USA: Red Hat has announced the availability of Red Hat Enterprise MRG V1, which offers significant Red Hat Enterprise Linux realtime enhancements as well as a high performance, multi-platform messaging system.

The Red Hat Enterprise MRG Beta was announced in late 2007. Since that time Red Hat has worked closely with partners and customers in an effort to ensure that the final product provides the desired features, quality, performance and adherence to open protocol standards. With Red Hat as a leading contributor to Linux realtime kernel development and the Advanced Messaging Queuing Protocol (AMQP) project, Red Hat Enterprise MRG is being delivered on schedule while also exceeding its original performance goals.

The Realtime component of Red Hat Enterprise MRG comprises numerous kernel enhancements that provide deterministic performance for time-critical and latency-sensitive applications. Of particular value to ISVs and customers, applications that are certified for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux can take advantage of Red Hat Enterprise MRG's realtime capabilities without modification or recertification.

IBM has worked closely with Red Hat throughout the development of the Linux kernel's realtime capabilities. IBM WebSphere Real Time on MRG Realtime extends the business benefits of Java to time-critical applications. Additionally, IBM WebSphere MQ Low Latency Message (LLM) delivers high-volume, time-critical performance today on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and IBM plans to further optimize WebSphere MQ LLM for the realtime Linux extensions in Red Hat Enterprise MRG. The availability of multiple messaging solutions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems offers customers flexibility and choice.

In recognition of its work around the Linux kernel real time enhancements, IBM and Raytheon have been voted a Red Hat Innovation Award winner at the Red Hat Summit that is currently running in Boston.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG's Messaging component demonstrates the power of the collaborative open source innovation, with a number of IT industry leaders, government departments and financial services companies being actively involved in development and product certification.

Performance testing of Red Hat Enterprise MRG messaging on both Intel- and AMD-based systems is ongoing, and has already demonstrated exceptional results. Most recently, an Intel 8-way (2 x Quad-Core) Xeon X5482 system configured with four Gigabit Ethernet network adapters running Red Hat Enterprise MRG was able to achieve over six million OPRA (Options Price Reporting Authority) messages/second.

Additionally, the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform will be adding support for Red Hat Enterprise MRG as a messaging transport in an upcoming release.Included as a component of Red Hat Enterprise MRG is the Condor open source grid management capability. This is provided as a technology preview, with final availability expected later this year.
