OpenShift Marketplace to Bring Customers Access to Complementary
Third-Party Solutions from Red Hat Partners
Industry Leaders Including BlazeMeter, ClearDB, Iron.io, MongoLab,
New Relic, Redis Labs, SendGrid, and Shippable to Bring Their Solutions
to Customers and Developers via OpenShift Marketplace
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced OpenShift
Marketplace, a one-stop shop that will enable customers of all sizes
to find and try solutions for their cloud applications. The OpenShift
Marketplace will bring the power of Red Hat's OpenShift
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) partner ecosystem directly to OpenShift
Online customers, enabling them to experience the benefits of enterprise
PaaS with tightly integrated, complementary solutions developed for the
public cloud - all without losing time on technology integration.
With its OpenShift Marketplace, Red Hat aims to reduce the search time
and cost of finding the perfect solution for customers seeking
value-added OpenShift partner add-ons. Customers will be able to easily
find the information, tools, and community they need to discover and
procure the right solution. They will be able to securely access and
manage leading OpenShift application technologies from a single
location. Customers and developers will be able to easily search for
third-party OpenShift solutions and add-on productivity offerings,
including database, email delivery services, messaging queues,
application performance monitoring and more, all managed from a central
location. Several OpenShift partners have already signed on to add their
solutions to the OpenShift Marketplace, including BlazeMeter, ClearDB,
Iron.io, MongoLab, New Relic, Redis Labs, SendGrid, and Shippable.
Enabling SaaS ISVs to Reach a Growing Network of OpenShift Customers
and Developers
As more developers use enterprise PaaS for an increasing array of
applications, a key to their success is a vibrant and robust partner
ecosystem. OpenShift's
current partner ecosystem uses the OpenShift Cartridge specification
method to link key technologies and services into applications built on
OpenShift, giving customers access to a variety of offerings from cloud
industry leaders. The OpenShift Marketplace provides an ideal platform
to reach customers and developers in one easy, interactive location,
enabling ISVs to showcase their solutions and marketing material, and
complete transactions in a few easy steps.
Availability
The OpenShift Marketplace will be launching in all availability regions
of the OpenShift Online public PaaS service in the coming weeks. ISVs
interested in joining the OpenShift Marketplace can try out a preview,
or simply email openshift-partners@redhat.com
for more information.

Julio Tapia, director, OpenShift ecosystem, Red Hat
"The OpenShift Marketplace is our next step towards our goal of
providing customers the widest variety of choice when it comes to
technologies that complement their OpenShift experience. As the
OpenShift partner ecosystem continues to expand, we expect the
Marketplace to provide developers and customers a more streamlined,
secure experience to choose the best third-party solutions for their
productivity and business enablement needs."
Alon Girmonsky, CEO, BlazeMeter
"BlazeMeter is glad to be part of the OpenShift Marketplace. Through
integration with OpenShift by Red Hat ecosystem, Red Hat users will be
able to use BlazeMeter's back-end testing platform to easily load test
their OS payloads throughout the whole development lifecycle. Within
minutes they can conduct scalable load tests from 1000 to more than
500,000 concurrent users."
Cashton Coleman, founder and CEO, ClearDB
"We are pleased that Red Hat users will be able to leverage ClearDB and
gain the benefits of ClearDB's highly redundant, scalable MySQL
architecture on Red Hat's OpenShift platform. Red Hat customers will be
able to use ClearDB on OpenShift with confidence, using our solution to
help keep their database online, available, and secure."
Chad Arimura, CEO, Iron.io
"The OpenShift platform is an important development for Iron.io. Red
Hat's public cloud and on-premise options are directly in line with our
deployment options, so we don't see how the combination could be more
powerful. Iron.io provides an enterprise grade message queuing platform
to connect systems, handle event processing, and perform highly
concurrent task processing. Deploying our platform as a cartridge
leverages the flexibility and security of OpenShift to give developers
powerful ways to build applications, ranging from the most basic up to
mission critical systems and beyond."
Will Shulman, CEO and co-founder, MongoLab
"We're extremely excited to offer fully-managed MongoDB through the
OpenShift Marketplace. Red Hat users will be able to quickly integrate
MongoDB into their application and focus on product development instead
of operations."
Bill Lapcevic, vice president of business development, New Relic
"Both OpenShift and New Relic share a commitment to building and
providing products that allow developers to focus on writing code and
building modern software. Having New Relic available in the OpenShift
Marketplace allows us to bring our enterprise-ready SaaS solution to
even more developers who are looking to reap the benefits of code-level
visibility to build faster software. Users will be able to easily and
quickly deploy the New Relic line of software analytics products with
confidence, relying on the stability and automation of the OpenShift
platform."
Ofer Bengal, co-founder and CEO, Redis Labs
"The Redis Cloud add-on for OpenShift offers developers a compelling
opportunity to build high performance apps using highly scalable and
reliable noSQL Redis. The combination of our enterprise-class Redis with
Red Hat's Enterprise Linux is an optimized database solution for
developers."
Jim Franklin, CEO, SendGrid
"The OpenShift Marketplace provides a high quality level of customer
experience, excellence and agility that is needed to provide a
successful cloud strategy. The marketplace is an incredible distribution
channel for SendGrid and a positive move for customers to integrate
services with the click of a button. There are few companies that are as
well positioned as Red Hat to offer true cloud agility for hybrid,
public or private cloud customers. We are thrilled to work with our
joint customers to solve their email deliverability challenges."
Avi Cavale, CEO, Shippable
"Joining the OpenShift ecosystem is a great opportunity for Shippable as
we are both focused on improving developer productivity and efficiency.
With Shippable's SaaS service, OpenShift customers can easily add CI/CD
to their codebase in a few clicks without needing to use any of their
Gears.
