Red Hat closed its acquisition of ManageIQ in December shortly after it agreed to buy the joint for $104 million and on Tuesday morning it said in a webcast that it\u2019s going to integrate ManageIQ\u2019s cloud management and automation widgetry with its CloudForms Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform to expand its all-important open hybrid cloud portfolio.
\nWhen this will happen is unclear.
\nManageIQ lets users deploy, manage and optimize across private clouds, public clouds and virtualized infrastructures.
\nRed Hat\u2019s Cloud Business Unit general manager Bryan Che said, \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with ManageIQ as a partner to our Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform with successful joint customers and saw an opportunity to expand our hybrid cloud management capabilities with an even closer relationship with ManageIQ\u2019s compelling portfolio. With the closing of the acquisition, we now begin work to integrate ManageIQ\u2019s enterprise cloud management and automation technologies with our complementary Red Hat CloudForms hybrid Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution and our open Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization management solution. With this combination, we can offer our customers an unparalleled open hybrid cloud management portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n
