Red Hat Now Offers Its Highly Scalable OpenShift Platform as a Bundle
with Industry Leading Dell Servers and Certified Partner Services
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that it has collaborated with Dell to create
the Dell and Red Hat DevOps Solutions Starter Pack, a combination of
OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat, the Dell PowerEdge R420 server, and
partner services. This solution will be sold through certified Red Hat
channel partners.
Vizuri, a certified Red Hat and Dell channel partner, will be the first
partner to resell the Dell and Red Hat DevOps Solutions Starter Pack and
will provide complementary services, enabling customers to build DevOps
solutions.
As more enterprises are turning to DevOps to streamline their IT
processes and better enable developers and administrators, they are
combining trusted hardware and software resources and the combination of
Red Hat, Dell and Vizuri will enable customers to leverage the unique
expertise and strengths of each company as they build hybrid clouds.
OpenShift by Red Hat already boasts a strong partner ecosystem, using
its unique cartridge specification to tightly integrate private PaaS
capabilities with complementary partner offerings. Vizuri has showcased
its services in the OpenShift partner network since November 2013,
enabling customers to modernize their traditional applications with
OpenShift.
