Anonymous for obvious reasons: speaking as a current Red Hat employee I disagree with the statement “they haven’t managed to mess it up like they did with SoftLayer”.
IBM policy has definitely infected the company and while outwardly the host still resembles its old self, the infection is spreading and the host is as good as dead.
I some point hoped that IBM and Red Hat would evolve into a ‘reverse takeover,’ where Red Hat’s culture would eventually take precedence over IBM’s. According to many friends, that outcome is still far from happening
But is that what's going to happen? IBM has acquired a lot of clever things, only to not really utilize them and just let them wither away.
IBM bought RedHat 6 years ago, can we truly claim that they've done something useful with that purchase? I get that they haven't managed to mess it up like they did with SoftLayer, but they've also haven't done much RedHat couldn't do on its own.
