Client Directed Engineering

For organizations which are already underway with migration to Linux and open source applications, Red Hat Professional Services adds a valuable layer of expertise and assistance to keep your team on track with any phase of migration, from assessment and architecture & design, to development and deployment and operations. Read about Red Hat's success at Dreamworks as they migrate their animation rendering capability to Red Hat Linux.

Why Client Directed Engineering?

Many organizations have started implementing Red Hat Linux in their corporate IS/IT infrastructure and have a staff of Red Hat Certified Engineers (RHCEs) who are qualified to manage general areas of Linux migration. However, not every organization has the deep expertise of the Red Hat Professional Consulting organization. Client Directed Engineering engagements enable customers access to specialists who collaborate on-site and off-site with the IS/IT organization to keep the team on track with regards to detailed technology issues, deployment and development.

For example, a project team might encounter a problem with their application and the way it interacts with Linux kernel during a particular memory access. The Red Hat professional consultant can provide advice on design considerations and can collaborate with Red Hat's kernel engineering team for detailed analysis of the issue, including patches and other fixes, workarounds, and long-term recommendations based upon the engineering roadmap directly from the Red Hat engineering organization.
