Red Hat Mobile Application Platform integrates mobile-centric
workloads with existing IT infrastructure
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform,
which incorporates technology from the October 2014 acquisition
of FeedHenry with products from Red Hat's JBoss Middleware and
OpenShift PaaS portfolio, and adds new mobile services. The platform
offers enterprises a full technology stack to enable mobile-centric
workloads to integrate with existing IT infrastructures, reducing the
complexity and increasing agility across mobile development and
deployment cycles.
The Red
Hat Mobile Application Platform helps simplify and accelerate the
development, integration, deployment, and management of mobile solutions
by allowing collaboration across development teams, such as front-end
application developers, back-end IT integration, and DevOps teams. Red
Hat also announced the availability of a developer offering in its
public cloud application development and hosting environment, OpenShift
Online. Full support for the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform in
production environments via OpenShift Enterprise is planned for the
coming year.
The Red Hat Mobile Application Platform provides mobile capabilities
that include security, reusable connections to back-end systems, and
collaborative/agile app development. In extending highly complex and
sophisticated applications to mobile devices, Red Hat believes that the
defining factors of the next generation of PaaS capabilities will be a
rich set of middleware services. In bringing the Mobile Application
Platform to OpenShift, Red Hat aims to position itself for this and
further advance the Red Hat xPaaS
services vision.
Staying true to its commitment to the spirit of open source, Red Hat
also announced plans to help establish an open source upstream project
that will carry the FeedHenry name and focus on the development of
cutting-edge open source mobile technologies, which will include
FeedHenry mobile application platform technology, open sourced by Red
Hat. The community is expected to launch in the coming year.
