CITYTECH, Shadow-Soft, and Vizuri show how users can ease into the
cloud with Red Hat and Amazon Web Services
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), a leading provider of open source solutions,
today announced new Test Drives on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with three
Red Hat partners - CITYTECH, Shadow-Soft, and Vizuri. Through the AWS
Test Drive program, users can quickly and easily explore and deploy
ready-made solutions built on Red Hat technologies. Test
Drives labs are provided free of charge and include complimentary
AWS server time, helping organizations ease into the cloud and get hands
on experience running production ready workloads on AWS.
New Test Drives from Red Hat partners include:
-
CITYTECH, Inc. is an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced
Consulting Partner and leader in digital strategy, web experience
management, and cloud management services. For their Red Hat Test
Drive, users will interact with sample business and process workflows
and modify a mortgage application's business flow. From there they
will be able to see approvals and denials in real-time and make
changes on the fly. Featuring the soon-to-be-released Red Hat JBoss
BPM Suite, Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, and Red Hat JBoss Operations
Network, this Test Drive gives customers hands on experience with Red
Hat JBoss Middleware on the AWS platform.
-
Shadow-Soft is a Red Hat Premier partner and expert open source
systems integrator. Their Test Drive provides users a hands-on
experience with Red Hat's business process management (BPM) and
complex event processing (CEP) offerings in a single, flexible
platform delivered on AWS. Within a matter of minutes, users can login
as an administrator, create, and explore the sample repository, and
load one or more custom repositories with additional sample data and
use cases. Using a simulated e-commerce store scenario, users will
also be able to implement a live pricing rule change, demonstrating
the ease with which technical and non-technical users can manage
business rules changes in real-time. Featuring an integrated bundle of
Red Hat JBoss BRMS, JBoss Operations Network, and OC Systems'
RootCause Transaction Instrumentation (RTI) application performance
management tool, users are also able to manage, monitor, and view
detailed performance transaction reports of the entire BRMS
environment.
-
Vizuri is a strategic partner, system integrator and authorized
reseller for leading enterprise open source software vendors. Vizuri's
Test Drive shows users how to securely control their data in a cloud
using Red Hat's software-defined storage offering and the complete
application stack running on their own servers. As the use of
cloud-based file- and data-sharing services continues to rise,
companies are finding that many associates are syncing data to
personal devices outside of their company's control and policies -
increasing the risk of data leakage and security breaches. With this
Test Drive, users are able to see how they can manage and scale their
solution as it replicates within and across their datacenters. In
addition to Red Hat Storage, Vizuri's Test Drive will feature
ownCloud, an open source file sync and share solution.
Partner Availability
Red Hat plans to work with additional Red Hat partners to release more
AWS Test Drives through the coming year. For more information on the AWS
Test Drive program for Red Hat, visit aws.amazon.com/testdrive/redhat/,

Red Hat North America Partner Conference
The Test Drives hosted by CITYTECH, Shadow-Soft, and Vizuri will be
featured and available for demonstrations during the Red Hat Cloud
Symposium and in the Partner Pavilion during Red Hat's North America
Partner Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. from Jan. 13-15, 2014.
