Integrating Red Hat's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Cloud9 offers an IDE
with runtime-enabled workspaces
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Cloud9 IDE has built its online
development environment with Red Hat's OpenShift Online hosted
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution. By integrating OpenShift Online
into its original online development environment, Cloud9 IDE is able to
deliver more flexibility, security and ease of use to developers.
Cloud9 IDE is an online development environment for Javascript and
Node.js applications as well as HTML, CSS, PHP, Java, Ruby and 23 other
languages. It is designed for developers looking for a modern and secure
IDE that strives to work efficiently by having their code accessible
online from anywhere via Cloud9 IDE workspaces. Launched in March 2011,
Cloud9 IDE quickly took steps to expand the functionality it initially
offered developers with its online environment, hoping to offer a user
workflow with the ability to develop and deploy runtime code from the
same online platform on which it had been developed. Cloud9 IDE hoped to
give developers a more robust offering, combining editing tools and the
runtime environment into a single platform, all within the cloud.
Looking to collaborate with another leading vendor to enhance its
platform, Cloud9 IDE selected Red Hat for its OpenShift Online offering.
One of the many reasons it selected OpenShift Online was for the
inherent security provided through the PaaS solution's inclusion of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Today, by leveraging OpenShift Online containers,
Cloud9 IDE workspaces provide developers with a single online place to
store, run and configure their files, all while offering a full terminal
and full shell access into the container. While inside a workspace, a
user can access Cloud9 IDE and complete the same functions that can be
done on a desktop or laptop machine. In addition to security, the switch
to OpenShift Online provides a cost-efficiency benefit as it offers a
multi-tenant model where multiple workspaces run on the same virtual
machine.
The combination of Cloud9 IDE and OpenShift Online also allows users to
run executables, including binary models, Node.js support, Ruby, PHP and
C++ applications. This flexibility has allowed many to benefit from
using Cloud9 IDE in their infrastructure, including startups,
independent software vendors and freelance developers. Working with a
variety of users has allowed Cloud9 IDE to explore the next phase of
offerings within a private cloud.

Ruben Daniels, CEO and founder, Cloud9 IDE
"Once we really understood what OpenShift was capable of from a
technical point of view, we realized we could integrate it to support a
better workflow for our users to easily build apps. The combination of
Red Hat's leadership in PaaS and our capabilities at Cloud9 IDE offer
developers an easy, flexible and efficient way to build and deploy
applications. Our platform wouldn't be where it is today without
OpenShift Online."
Ashesh Badani, general manager, Cloud Business Unit and OpenShift,
Red Hat
"We are excited to collaborate with Cloud9 IDE so more users and
developers can experience the full range of programming languages and
runtime ecosystems OpenShift has to offer, along with the inherent
flexibility and ease of use of the platform. We look forward to
continuing to enable more developers to easily utilize PaaS platforms
like OpenShift Online for their applications."
