레드햇 아태지역 총괄부사장 디르크 피터 반 리우벤(Dirk Peter van Leeuwen)은 “지난 6개월 동안 레드햇은 가상화와 클라우드
컴퓨팅 제품에 대한 높아진 관심과 도입율 증가를 경험했다. 레드햇은 유연한 클라우드 스택을 전략적으로 제공함으로써 고객들이 물리적 서버, 가상
플랫폼, 프라이빗 및 퍼블릭 클라우드 전반에서 애플리케이션을 구축하고 운영할 수 있도록 한다”며, “레드햇은 오픈소스 기술로 기업들에게 탄탄하고
안전하며 확장성이 뛰어난 시스템을 구축하고 특정 벤더에 종속되지 않는 자유를 제공한다”고 말했다. 레드햇의 대표적인 클라우드 고객으로는
Amazon, NTT, IBM 등이 있다.
IT 시장 조사 기관인 스프링보드 리서치(Springboard Research)는 최근 발표한 2011년 아태지역 시장 전망(Asia
Pacific Market Predictions 2011)에서 “2011년, 전세계는 글로벌 경제 위기로부터 회복세를 이어갈 것이며, IT업계는
기술 도입과 사용에 대한 근본적인 변화를 겪게 될 것이다. 과대 포장된 광고에서 벗어나 구체적인 실행 단계로 넘어가고 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅은
이러한 변화를 이끄는 강력한 동기가 될 것이며 조직들은 앞으로 수년 앞을 내다보는 보다 정확하고 자세한 도입 로드맵을 따라 명확한 단계를 밟아
나갈 것”이라고 전망했다.
기업들은 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 도입하기 위한 최우선 조건으로 특정 벤더에 대한 종속성 없는 저렴한 비용과 최고의 성능, 신뢰성을 지닌 IT 인프라를 요구하고 있다. 가트너는 2010년까지 글로벌 2000대 기업의 75% 에서 사용되었던 오픈소스 소프트웨어가 2016년에는 99%까지 확대되며 필수적인 소프트웨어 포트폴리오로 포함될 것이라고 예측했다. 또한 2016년까지, 업계 선도적인 비(非) IT기업 중 50%가 경쟁력을 갖추기 위한 비즈니스 전략으로 오픈소스를 활용할 것이라고 내다봤다.
