With the mobile data management cartridge for SAP SQL Anywhere,
developers can rapidly develop SAP SQL Anywhere-based remote and mobile
applications that synchronize with MySQL databases in OpenShift
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced new results of its collaboration with SAP to
drive the next generation of mobile database development and
synchronization. With today's news, developers now have access to new
components of the SAP® Data Management portfolio in OpenShift, Red Hat's
award-winning Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. The mobile data
management cartridge for the SAP SQL Anywhere suite makes it easier for
developers creating MySQL-based database applications to extend their
data to remote and mobile applications, and keep it synchronized.
Today's announcement builds on Red Hat's existing collaboration with SAP
to bring SAP components to OpenShift. In April 2014, Red Hat announced
plans to offer free development cartridges for the SAP Data Management
portfolio, including SAP Adaptive Server® Enterprise (SAP ASE), SAP IQ
software and SAP SQL Anywhere for use with the OpenShift portfolio,
aimed at enabling developers around the world to build next-generation
applications. Red Hat and SAP are working together to provide a unique
universal framework of database and application development technologies
geared toward supporting a wide range of operating systems, languages
and services, all within a cartridge, so users can more quickly gain a
competitive advantage and return on technology investments.
Using the OpenShift Cartridge API, SAP has developed a cartridge for SAP
SQL Anywhere that will enable developers to quickly "snap-in" a
pre-configured, ready-to-develop cartridge for synchronizing MySQL-based
applications. This technology will enable more rapid development of
applications that require fast, scalable and reliable online/offline
data synchronization of mobile devices and remote offices to a central
server database. For those using SAP SQL Anywhere, which has a community
of support from more than 20,000 developers, they can now make use of
the same technology that SAP has deployed worldwide to more than 12,000
customers, in an easy-to-use cartridge for OpenShift.
With the cartridge for SAP SQL Anywhere on OpenShift, developers can
rapidly develop database-powered, high-performing applications faster
through automated workflows and tooling to help developers access what
they need, when they need it. The combination of OpenShift by Red Hat
and SAP SQL Anywhere delivers developers a flexible, choice-driven
solution that is capable of handling large amounts of data. OpenShift
automates the provisioning management and scaling of the application,
while the self-administering, self-tuning, self-healing and
synchronization support features of SAP SQL Anywhere make it well-suited
for zero-administration environments.
OpenShift enables developers to quickly develop, host and scale
applications in both public cloud (OpenShift Online) and on-premises
private cloud (OpenShift Enterprise) environments. OpenShift's elastic,
multi-language, PaaS architecture automates the provisioning, management
and scaling of applications so developers can focus on writing the code
for these applications that support their business, startup, or next big
idea. As a polyglot PaaS, OpenShift's support for multiple languages,
including Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Perl, allows for a low
barrier to entry so developers can start their projects with ease and
start coding more quickly. OpenShift Online and OpenShift Enterprise are
built from the OpenShift Origin open source project. It leverages Red
Hat Enterprise Linux and the SELinux subsystem for a secure,
multi-tenant architecture.

Julio Tapia, director, OpenShift ecosystem, Red Hat
"Simply put, developers want technologies and solutions that help them
do their jobs better, faster. Developing apps in OpenShift using the
mobile data management cartridge for SAP SQL Anywhere lets developers do
this, while taking advantage of key SAP database technologies and
scaling to the needs of the application from small scale through
enterprise-class."
