Company to provide source code for components that drive OpenShift PaaS
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that it will sponsor the Open
Cloud Conference presented by CloudCamps, taking place in Sunnyvale,
Calif. from April 30 through May 3. On the opening day of the event, Red
Hat will host developer workshops focused on Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), mobile and Java development in the
cloud. Presentations during the Red Hat-hosted workshops will be
delivered by Red Hat cloud experts and partners such as 10gen and
Appcelerator.
"Red Hat has taken a leadership role in the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
space since the debut of our OpenShift
platform in May 2011. As OpenShift has added new functionality,
languages and flexibility for developers, we've continued to evolve our
PaaS strategy to address the needs of our users and customers," said
Scott Crenshaw, vice president and general manager, Cloud Business Unit
at Red Hat. "We see the next wave in PaaS as focused on hybrid PaaS
strategies and Red Hat is continuing to address this approach through
the evolution of our OpenShift platform for both developers and the
enterprise."
During the Open Cloud Conference, Red Hat plans to make available the
source code to the automation components that are used to power
OpenShift, offering access to the code behind its PaaS platform.
OpenShift was built with a number of open source technologies such as
JBoss Application Server as well as technologies that Red Hat acquired
from its acquisition of Makara in November 2010. During the conference,
Red Hat also intends to outline further details on the corresponding
open source community that will feed into OpenShift. Developers onsite
at the Open Cloud Conference will get hands-on access to the code in
workshops demonstrating how to get a PaaS installed and running locally,
how to run it on top of OpenStack and learn in-depth what it takes to
operate a scalable, multi-tenant and secure PaaS. To register to attend
the in-person Open Cloud Conference and Red Hat workshops on April 30,

"I have been developing Facebook applications utilizing the combination
of JBoss Application Server 7 on Red Hat's PaaS OpenShift for over six
months, and have been extremely impressed with the ease of use,
flexibility and most of all the speed of these technologies," said Craig
Schwarzwald, an independent developer. "I'll be presenting my personal
story of success in using these and other Red Hat technologies such as
JBoss Forge, Arquillian and Hibernate at the Open Cloud Conference, and
am extremely excited to meet the developers behind the open source
OpenShift project."
