Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in
the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for On-Premises Application
Platforms (1), for its solutions including Red Hat JBoss Middleware and
OpenShift Enterprise, the company's private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
offering.
Gartner assessed 16 vendors in this Magic Quadrant, which profiles the
leading application infrastructure vendors that provide IT developers
and architects with complete end-to-end support for application projects
for enterprise use. The full report is available here.
"Today's new software products are challenging, because of the many new
architectural notions that are coming from the cloud, social, mobile and
big data innovations taking place within the technology landscape,"
noted the authoring analysts. "Core business applications retain many of
their older architectural features, such as service orientation,
separation of front and back ends, and loose coupling."
"In addition, developers are seeking cloudlike capabilities and
behaviors. Organizations want their applications to be horizontally
scalable, to take advantage of modern virtualized infrastructure, and
possibly to leverage IaaS," the report continued. "They must be easy to
control from an operational point of view, and fully automated in those
respects. They must also leverage new approaches in information
management. In-memory data combined with the high degree of parallelism
available in today's infrastructure can be used to create complex
analytics and highly responsive transaction processing in modern
applications."
"In my opinion, Red Hat's position in Gartner's Magic Quadrant validates
our track record of innovation and proven solutions for application
development," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware, Red Hat.
"We have built our portfolio to support a wide range of application
requirements, ranging from SOA-style business applications to private
PaaS as organizations transition to the cloud."
Red Hat's portfolio of open hybrid cloud solutions includes several
offerings for on-premise application development. Red Hat JBoss
Middleware is a comprehensive portfolio of middleware solutions that
help customers optimize their business processes, including an
application server, service-oriented architecture, business rules
management system, enterprise service bus, and messaging. OpenShift
Enterprise is a versatile platform for application development,
operations, and IT architecture as it provides users with access to a
cloud-based application platform built on a trusted stack of open source
Red Hat technologies. OpenShift Enterprise automates much of the
provisioning and systems management of the application platform stack in
a way that enables the IT team to more easily meet growing business
demands for new application services.
