Red Hat and the Federal Enterprise Architecture

Overview In the past, lack of a comprehensive, standards-based open source technology architecture has added to the complexity of new open source deployments, and potentially increased the cost. To reduce this complexity, Red Hat launched the Open Source Architecture (OSA) in October 2003. The OSA encompasses Red Hat's long-term vision for open source software development and deployment. This paper discusses why open source - specifically Red Hat's Open Source Architecture (OSA) - is becoming the standard for the government agencies working within the framework of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA).
