		stuff4ben on April 9, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Paul Cormier Replaces Jim Whitehurst as Red Hat CE... A lot of IBM products are in the cloud and the focus from Whitehurst as IBM president is that cloud, containers/K8s/RHOSP, and edge are the big things that will be going on. It will be very interesting to see how RH plays into the broader IBM strategy. Will RH become the platform and IBM becomes tooling, services, and products on top of that platform? Or will RH move to more consultancy and enterprise IT services? Coming from Cisco where the acquired company always gets folded into the mothership, I find it very interesting to see IBM's stance of keeping RH alone and mostly separate. At least for now...

its very possible and widely touted that it could go the other way, in that Red Hat takes over IBM (culturally. Red Hat certainly has a strong enough culture to do that.

Except Meraki - that’s been kept seperate in a similar way to RedHat.
