(NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced worldwide availability of a unified open software-defined storage portfolio that brings together Red Hat Ceph Storage, formerly known as Inktank Ceph Enterprise, and Red Hat Gluster Storage, formerly known as Red Hat Storage Server.
