Alan Shimel of Network World reports that Red Hat and 10gen have announced a major expansion of the company’s relationship. Shimel writes, “The two companies are now going to make it much easier to use 10gen’s MongoDB on Red Had operating systems and middleware solutions. Red Hat’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux enterprise operating system, Red Hat’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) OpenShift and Red Hat JBoss Middleware Solutions will all work with Mongodb.”
He continues, “This should be great news for developers developing big data solutions in the cloud. It could spell bad news for some of 10gen’s NoSQL competitors. While the agreement is not exclusive, it certainly sets 10gen up as the preferred NoSQL solution for Red Hat, which recently became the first billion dollar open source company.”
10gen commented, “Over the next several months, we’ll be working closely with Red Hat to optimize and integrate MongoDB with a number of Red Hat products. You can look at this effort resulting in a set of reference designs, solutions, packages and documentation for deploying high-performance, scalable and secure applications with MongoDB and Red Hat software. Our first collaboration is around a blueprint for deploying MongoDB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which we will release shortly.”
