Applying PermaBit technology to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat announced that it has acquired the assets and technology of Permabit Technology Corporation, a software provider for data deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning.

By combining Red Hat Enterprise Linux with PermaBit's data deduplication and compression capabilities, Red Hat is now able to provide more efficient storage capabilities and support the digital transformation of enterprises more effectively.

As an increasing number of companies seek to leverage the efficiencies offered by digital technologies such as Linux containers and cloud computing, new storage solutions are being required in addition to existing storage technologies to power these services and store data. Storage efficiency is a key capability to meet these requirements, and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which combines storage and compute into a single x86 server, also requires these requirements.

Enterprise-grade open source solutions resolve the challenges that arise when utilizing new digital technologies to facilitate digital transformation in existing storage, and enable the securing of expanded storage capacity to run applications without physically expanding storage by leveraging software technology.

Through PermaBit's technology, Red Hat has been able to apply powerful data deduplication and compression capabilities to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, thereby strengthening its overall hybrid cloud and storage technology capabilities, including Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, and Red Hat Storage.

Red Hat plans to open source PermaBit's technology, focusing on continuously providing complete open-source solutions and upstream-first innovation. This will enable customers to improve storage efficiency with a single, fully supported, and open platform, without using heterogeneous tools or poorly supported custom operating systems.
