RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the introduction of the Red
Hat Certificate of Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) in

Through the Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service,
Red Hat is providing enterprises with confidence that their teams
possess the skills necessary to get the most out of their OpenShift
Enterprise environments. The new certification helps tests candidates'
knowledge, skills and ability to create, configure, and manage a cloud

practical exam during which candidates must perform real-world tasks
typically required in production environments. In preparation for the
exam, Red Hat offers Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise Administration , a
course aimed at helping customers build their teams' readiness to adopt
and use this new technology.
Since its introduction in November 2012, OpenShift Enterprise has
provided developers a cloud application platform with a choice of
programming languages, frameworks and application lifecycle tools to
enhance an enterprise's ability to build the applications it needs and
have them run in a cloud architecture. OpenShift Enterprise also
provides a standardized and streamlined developer workflow to provision
quickly, build efficiently and get apps to market faster. With its
unique Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) approach, OpenShift Enterprise
also offers reliable security and multi-tenancy with the ability to
subdivide the operating system instances for efficiency.
