provider of open source solutions, today announced significant momentum
within the OpenShift by Red Hat Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Partner
Program. Since launching OpenShift in May 2011, Red Hat has partnered
with cloud industry leaders - including both independent software
vendors (ISVs) and system integrators (SIs) via the OpenShift Partner
Program, offering customers a broad ecosystem of partners that offer a
selection of solutions that are complementary to OpenShift. Today, Red

several new partners to help deliver on its vision to deliver even more

A recognized leader in the open source PaaS space, Red Hat offers the
industry's only full suite of open source PaaS solutions: OpenShift
Origin, the open source PaaS project; OpenShift Online, a commercial
public PaaS offering; and OpenShift Enterprise, an on-premise private
PaaS product.OpenShift offers developers a cloud application platform
with a choice of programming languages, frameworks and application
lifecycle tools to build and run their applications. The platform
provides built-in support for Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, and Java
and the capability for developers to add their own. OpenShift also
supports many popular frameworks, including Java EE, Spring, Play and
Rails.
With today's announcement, Red Hat's OpenShift Partner Program includes
several new ecosystem partners, including:
-
AppDynamics - a next-generation application performance
management (APM) company that simplifies the management of complex web
applications, including applications based on Red Hat JBoss Middleware
offerings running on OpenShift. Additionally, AppDynamics enables
customers that are using both OpenShift Online and OpenShift
Enterprise to manage the performance of their applications from one
location.
-
Continuent - a leading provider of database-as-a-service
(DBaaS) solutions for MySQL and Oracle enables OpenShift Enterprise
customers to take advantage of advanced clustering and database
replication for their mission critical applications in an
easy-to-deploy and manage integration via OpenShift cartridges.
-
Kinvey - a leading Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform for
enterprise applications is helping to bring OpenShift's mobile
customers closer to their back-end data by offering various data
connectors to vital enterprise business systems. Morgan Bickle, CTO of
Kinvey said, "OpenShift shares our vision for making mobile app
development attainable by the enterprise through radically simple
integrations. Together, Kinvey and Red Hat give OpenShift customers
the additional capability to implement their mobile strategy with
simple-to-use cartridges that mobilize data that lives in
business-critical systems like salesforce.com."
-
Netsource Partners - a software engineering firm with decades
of experience developing large-scale online and operational systems
for both Fortune 500, mid-sized companies, and academic institutions,
NetSource has used OpenShift to improve rapid development. "Since we
started using Openshift, we've found that design, development,
deployment, and support of web-based applications has been greatly
simplified and accelerated," said Andy Lim, managing partner,
Netsource Partners. "We now build web-based services for both clients
and our own offerings in a fraction of the time it takes to build the
same services on traditional hardware/software or
infrastructure-as-as-service (IaaS) platforms."
-
Phase2 — a leading digital content strategy, design and
technology firm serving many of the world's most influential
organizations by providing strategic consulting, development, and
design services. Using OpenShift Online's commercial offering - known
as the Silver tier - Phase2 is already delivering value for clients.
"Phase2 used OpenShift Silver to set up a first-class continuous
integration environment for Drupal by utilizing Jenkins for continuous
integration, PHP and Ruby for our build process, and even to run the
client's Java-based suite of acceptance tests," said Joe Caccavano,
vice president, Business Development, Phase2. "Thanks to OpenShift's
wide array of supported technologies and excellent Red Hat support,
our client has been able to add continuous integration and automated
testing to their project in a secure PaaS environment with support
from Red Hat engineers. It's an incredible value."
-
StrongLoop — With streamlined integration via the StrongLoop
Suite cartridge, OpenShift customers can take advantage of
StrongLoop's API tier for connecting enterprise data to devices and
browsers, including an open, mobile, BaaS, API development framework,
operational console, and certified distribution of Node.js with
supported modules with very little effort.
-
Vizuri - a software design, development and consulting company
with a diverse client base in both the private and public sectors that
is working with customers to modernize their traditional applications
to take advantage of OpenShift. Joe Dickman, senior vice president,
Vizuri, said, "Vizuri understood early the impact that OpenShift would
have on the industry, which drove us to develop expertise early and
become the first consulting organization accredited for OpenShift in
North America. Using our skills and knowledge in cloud deployments,
Red Hat JBoss Middleware and other Red Hat technologies, we've
developed core services around OpenShift focused on educating
customers and enabling broad adoption."
-
Pat V. Mack - a leading IT consulting services; offering
clients a full range of engineering and business solutions, including
business process management, project management, engineering
architecture, design, development, integration, and support of
mission-essential products. OpenShift's security capabilities from
built-in technologies such as SELinux, combined with Pat V. Mack's
deep understanding of Department of Defense (DoD) security
requirements and protocol, together the companies are able to deliver
combined value for public sector customers. According to Sidney
Metzmaker, director of operations, Pat V. Mack, "By working with Red
Hat, we are significantly reducing the barrier of entry into the DoD
application marketplace - namely esoteric and complex Information
Assurance (IA) governance, DoD-unique APIs/GOTS infrastructure
products, and the inability to create representative software
operating environments in order to conduct realistic testing. With
OpenShift, we can address these requirements, reducing the time to
deliver applications for the DoD."
"Whether its an expansive portfolio of complementary technologies or a
rich network of partners to help end-users reap the benefits of cloud,
customers want choice," said Julio Tapia, director, OpenShift ecosystem,
Red Hat. "With the OpenShift Partner Program, Red Hat continues to build
upon our goal to bring developers and customers the industry's broadest
ecosystem to meet their evolving needs. Today's announcement highlights
the breadth and depth of partners OpenShift is attracting, and the joint
value we can deliver to customers."
