Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, and eNovance, an emerging European leader in the open source cloud computing market, announced that they are collaborating to deliver OpenStack implementation and integration services to joint customers. The companies made the announcement today at the OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong.

The collaboration between Red Hat and eNovance is aimed at accelerating enterprise adoption of OpenStack globally. According to a new report from 451 Research, OpenStack-related business revenue is expected to exceed $1 billion by 2015 as the enterprise market for OpenStack evolves. Additionally, according to recently announced results of the 2013 Path to an OpenStack-Powered Cloud survey of 200 U.S. enterprise decision makers, commissioned by Red Hat through IDG Connect, an overwhelming 84 percent of survey respondents say that OpenStack is part of their future cloud infrastructure plans.

Red Hat and eNovance have both emerged as OpenStack leaders. Red Hat is the leading contributor to the OpenStack project and a Platinum member of the OpenStack Foundation. In June 2013, Red Hat introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, a highly scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) product that delivers an open, flexible and enterprise-ready private cloud foundation built on the community OpenStack project. The solution is integrated with and optimized for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. eNovance is a cloud computing leader that aims to help organizations use open source cloud technologies, increase the efficiency of their IT, and be more agile in the face of ever-changing market conditions. The organization designs, builds, and runs cloud solutions (public, private, hybrid) using OpenStack, and is well-known for high-end system administration of applications through their managed services offerings. eNovance is among the top 10 contributors to the OpenStack project, a market leader in OpenStack deployments, and a Gold member of the OpenStack Foundation.
