Set of Four Solutions to Enable Enterprise Customers with the
Technologies to Build and Manage Open Hybrid Clouds
RALEIGH, N.C. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RED HAT SUMMIT AND JBOSS WORLD 2012 — Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT),
the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced a
set of solutions that the company plans to roll out in the coming months
that are based on Red Hat products and technologies and are designed to
enable enterprises to build and manage open hybrid clouds. The solutions
combine Red Hat's full portfolio of products -- including Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Red Hat Storage,
JBoss Enterprise Middleware, Red Hat CloudFormsTM and Red Hat
OpenShiftTM Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) — to offer
enterprises an easy on-ramp to open hybrid cloud computing with reduced
complexity.
"Cloud computing has introduced a new era of IT and has brought
enterprises to their most critical IT strategy decision this decade,"
said Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies at Red Hat. "We
strongly believe that enterprises need to embrace an open hybrid cloud
approach, combining all their existing resources into their cloud
infrastructures, crossing physical, virtual and public cloud resources.
Today, Red Hat takes a huge step forward in enabling our enterprise
customers with the technologies and solutions they need to build and
manage open hybrid clouds."
Introduced today, Red Hat's four open hybrid cloud solutions include:
-
OpenShiftTM Enterprise PaaS Solution:
The leading cloud application platform for the enterprise, this
solution will combine Red Hat CloudForms, Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and JBoss Enterprise Middleware to
build an ITOps PaaS that is designed to deliver the speed and agility
of PaaS desired by enterprise developers while addressing the
governance and operational requirements of enterprise IT in an open
and hybrid cloud. In the future this solution is planned to be
expanded to enable customers to build a DevOps PaaS environment that
is fully compatible with the OpenShift.com Public PaaS.
-
Red Hat Hybrid Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Solution: The
industry's first open hybrid cloud solution for enterprises, this
offering will include the software needed to deploy and manage a
hybrid cloud, including virtualization management with Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization; cloud management, governed self-service and
systems management with Red Hat CloudForms; and guest operating system
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat plans to include public cloud
hours from leading providers with the solution in the future.
-
Red Hat Cloud with Virtualization Bundle: Moving enterprises to
the cloud for the price of virtualization, this offering packages Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudFormsTM
together to enable users to move to the cloud more quickly by
combining virtualization and cloud management into the same project
cycle.
-
Red Hat Storage: Redefining enterprise and hybrid cloud storage
with open source solutions, Red Hat Storage, the company's scale-out,
open source storage software for the management of unstructured data,
is generally available with Red Hat Storage Server 2.0 today. Red Hat
Storage transforms the enterprise and cloud storage market by — for
the first time — combining community-powered innovation with the
volume economics of industry standard x86 servers across on-premise,
cloud or hybrid environments.
Availability
Red Hat Storage is available today. The OpenShift Enterprise PaaS
Solution, Red Hat Hybrid Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Solution and
Red Hat Cloud with Virtualization Bundle offerings are expected to be
