Red Hat has announced the availability of version 2.0 of its Enterprise MRG (“messaging, realtime, and grid”) distribution. It features an update to RHEL 6.1, a number of claimed performance improvements, and a bunch of buzzword-compliant cloud features. “Enterprise MRG Messaging 2.0 services as a foundational layer of infrastructure in Red Hat’s OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, introduced in May 2011. With Enterprise MRG 2.0, OpenShift gains a reliable, scalable mechanism for transferring data in the cloud, as well as the interoperability of the AMQP open standard.”
