RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that the company was honored by Google for
Work as the 2014 Global Partner of the Year: Technology. The award was
presented at TeamWork 2015, Google for Work's annual global partner
summit, which took place in San Diego. The Technology partner of the
year award emphasizes Red Hat's proven track record of enabling product
adoption for customers on Google Cloud Platform.
The award follows strong global collaboration by Red Hat and Google for
Work in many areas. In March 2014, Red Hat announced that it was working
with Google to enable Red Hat customers to move eligible Red Hat
Enterprise Linux subscriptions to Google Compute Engine using Red Hat
Cloud Access, reinforcing the flexibility and choice afforded by the
open hybrid cloud. Both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Atomic Host, a secure, lightweight and minimal footprint operating
system optimized to run Linux Containers, are available on Google
Compute Engine.
Additionally, Red Hat and Google actively collaborate on container
technologies, approaches, and best practices. Red Hat embraced the
Kubernetes project at launch, and announced
collaboration
with
Google
to tackle the challenge of how to manage Docker containers at scale,
across hundreds or thousands of hosts. Today, several Red Hat developers
are among the leading
contributors
to
Kubernetes,
and Kubernetes is a key
component
for managing and enabling the reliability of application deployments in
OpenShift 3, the forthcoming version of Red Hat's award-winning
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering.
