===One Laptop per Child===
Red Hat engineers worked with the [[One Laptop per Child]] initiative (a [[non-profit organization]] established by members of the [[MIT Media Lab]]) to design and produce an inexpensive laptop and try to provide every child in the world with access to open communication, open knowledge, and [[open learning]]. The [[OLPC XO-1|XO-4]] laptop, the last machine the project produced (in 2012), runs a slimmed-down version of [[Fedora Linux|Fedora 17]] as its operating system.

=== [[Kernel-based Virtual Machine|KVM]] ===

===MRG=== <!-- Anchor from redirected article: [Red Hat MRG]. -->
Red Hat MRG is a [[cluster (computing)|clustering]] product intended for integrated [[high-performance computing]] (HPC). The [[acronym]] MRG stands for "Messaging Realtime Grid".

Red Hat Enterprise MRG replaces the kernel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux [[RHEL]], a [[Linux distribution]] developed by Red Hat, to provide extra support for [[real-time computing]], together with middleware support for [[message broker]]age and scheduling workload to local or remote [[virtual machine]]s, [[grid computing]], and [[cloud computing]].<ref>

In January 2010, ''Red Hat Magazine'' became Opensource.com.<ref>{{cite web| last=The editorial team| title=Now showing: opensource.com| url=http://magazine.redhat.com/2010/01/29/now-showing-opensource-com/| work=Red Hat Magazine| access-date=August 22, 2011}}</ref> In April 2023 Red Hat went through company layoffs and laid off the team maintaining Opensource.com.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Opensource.com {{!}} Opensource.com |url=https://opensource.com/about |website=opensource.com |access-date=14 June 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

==={{Anchor|EXCHANGE}}Red Hat Exchange===
In 2007, Red Hat announced that it had reached an agreement with some [[free software]] and [[open-source software|open-source]] (FOSS) companies that allowed it to make a distribution portal called Red Hat Exchange, reselling FOSS software with the original branding intact.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://techiqmag.com/2007/03/14/red-hat-launches-business-application-stacks/ |title=Red Hat Prepares Business Application Stacks |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013221406/http://techiqmag.com/2007/03/14/red-hat-launches-business-application-stacks/ |archive-date=October 13, 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine| url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/mar2007/tc20070314_617979.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_businessweek+exclusives| title=Red Hat Launches Open-Source Exchange| magazine=BusinessWeek| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080602091036/https://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/mar2007/tc20070314_617979.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_businessweek+exclusives| archive-date=June 2, 2008}}</ref> However, by 2010, Red Hat had abandoned the Exchange program to focus their efforts more on their Open Source Channel Alliance which began in April 2009.<ref>{{cite news| last=Kerner| first=Sean Michael| title=What Happened to Red Hat Exchange?| url=http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6975/1/| access-date=December 2, 2011| newspaper=Linux Planet| date=February 5, 2010| archive-date=May 15, 2019| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190515062345/http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6975/1| url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Ceph Storage===
Red Hat is the largest contributor to the [[Ceph_(software)|Ceph Storage]] [[Software-defined_storage|SDS]] project : Block, File & Object Storage which runs on industry-standard x86 servers and Ethernet IP as well as ARM, InfiniBand, and other technologies.

Ceph aims primarily for completely distributed operation without a single point of failure, scalable to the exabyte level.

Ceph replicates data and makes it fault-tolerant, using commodity hardware and requiring no specific hardware support. Ceph's system offers disaster recovery and data redundancy through techniques such as replication, erasure coding, snapshots and storage cloning. As a result of its design, the system is both self-healing and self-managing, aiming to minimize administration time and other costs.

In this way, administrators have a single, consolidated system that avoids silos and collects the storage within a common management framework. Ceph consolidates several storage use cases and improves resource utilization. It also lets an organization deploy servers where needed.

===OpenShift===
Red Hat operates [[OpenShift]], a [[cloud computing]] [[platform as a service]], supporting applications written in [[Node.js]], [[PHP]], [[Perl]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], [[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition|JavaEE]] and more.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.redhat.com/openshift/community/faq|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121217180550/https://www.redhat.com/openshift/community/faq|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 17, 2012|title=Redhat.com}}</ref>

On July 31, 2018, Red Hat announced the release of Istio 1.0, a microservices management program used in tandem with the [[Kubernetes]] platform. The software purports to provide "traffic management, service identity and security, policy enforcement and telemetry" services in order to streamline Kubernetes use under the various [[Fedora Linux|Fedora]]-based operating systems. Red Hat's Brian Redbeard Harring described Istio as "aiming to be a control plane, similar to the Kubernetes control plane, for configuring a series of proxy servers that get injected between application components".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.com/2018/07/31/istio_sets_sail_as_red_hat_renovates_openshift_container_ship/|title=Istio sets sail as Red Hat renovates OpenShift container ship|first=Thomas Claburn in San|last=Francisco|website=www.theregister.com}}</ref> Also Red Hat is the second largest contributor to Kubernetes code itself, after Google.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Grafana|url=https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/9/companies-table?orgId=1|access-date=2021-03-26|website=k8s.devstats.cncf.io|quote=Top 10: Google, Red Hat, VMware, Microsoft, IBM, Huawei, Fujitsu, Intel, CNCF}}</ref>

===OpenStack===
Red Hat markets a version of [[OpenStack]] which helps manage a [[data center]] in the manner of cloud computing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies|title=Open source technologies for the enterprise|website=www.redhat.com}}</ref>

===CloudForms===
Red Hat CloudForms provides management of [[virtual machine]]s, instances and [[Operating-system-level virtualization|containers]] based on VMware vSphere, Red Hat Virtualization, Microsoft Hyper-V, OpenStack, Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and [[Red Hat OpenShift]]. CloudForms is based on the [[ManageIQ]] project that Red Hat open sourced. Code in ManageIQ is from the over {{US$|100&nbsp;million}} acquisition of ManageIQ in 2012.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-cloudforms|title=Red Hat CloudForms|website=Red Hat Customer Portal}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.redhat.com/en/investors|title=Red Hat Investor Relations|website=www.redhat.com}}</ref>

===CoreOS===
Container Linux (formerly CoreOS Linux) is a discontinued open-source lightweight operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed for providing infrastructure to clustered deployments. As an operating system, Container Linux provided only the minimal functionality required for deploying applications inside software containers, together with built-in mechanisms for service discovery and configuration sharing.

===LibreOffice===
Red Hat contributed, with several software developers, to [[LibreOffice]], a [[free and open-source]] [[office suite]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions#LibreOffice_developers|title=Red Hat contributions - Fedora Project Wiki|website=fedoraproject.org}}</ref> However, in 2023, Red Hat announced they were not going to include LibreOffice in RHEL 10, citing the ability to download LibreOffice from [[Flatpak]] on RHEL desktops.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/07/red_hat_drops_libreoffice/|website=The Register|publisher=Situation Publishing|title=Red Hat to stop packaging LibreOffice for RHEL|date=2023-06-07|author-last1=Proven|author-first1=Liam}}</ref>

Over and above Red Hat's major products and acquisitions, Red Hat programmers have produced software programming-tools and [[utility software|utilities]] to supplement standard Unix and Linux software.
