Hello all, not an incredible lot to blog on this week but thought that it would be a good idea to share some insights into the CCP program that Red Hat is delivering for partners/distributors and solution providers.
As vendors all ramp up to get a piece of the cloud, Red Hat is making sure that service providers are well equipped and have the necessary nuts and bolts to drive the Red Hat portfolio of solutions in the cloud. Red Hat`s business is all based and built on the subscription model. Customers would traditionally purchase a 1 year or 3 year subscription to gain access to support, bug fixes and software maintenance which they still can do however with the advent of cloud computing, customers and service providers are looking for a much more flexible method for consuming subscriptions in the cloud. A solution were they could deliver subscriptions on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. To that extent Red Hat has introduced its Certified Cloud Provider (CCP) program which allows providers to do just that.
Red Hat initially started to build an ecosystem of the top tier providers to be part of the CCP program however they do understand that the market place is huge and do realize that other large Organisations, mid sized Telcos, solutions providers and cloud vendors could benefit from this model.
More and updated information regarding the program can be found here :

To close things off, please watch this space over the next week for daily updates as I attend the Red Hat Summit in Boston. Its going to be massive and I will be sharing lots of info.......
Have a good week!
