Red Hat's award-winning Platform-as-a-Service integrates latest
container innovations to accelerate application development and DevOps
from datacenter to cloud
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of OpenShift
Enterprise 3, the first enterprise-ready web-scale container application
platform based on Docker format Linux containers, Kubernetes
orchestration and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, providing full support
from the operating system to application runtimes. OpenShift Enterprise
3, the next-generation of Red Hat's award-winning Platform-as-a-Service
(PaaS) offering, helps organizations accelerate application development
and delivery by enabling development and operations teams to be more
agile, responsive and efficient.
OpenShift Enterprise 3 delivers a container-based application platform
based on Docker and powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, providing a
secure, efficient and portable way to develop, deploy and run
application services. This also provides OpenShift users with access to
the broadest ecosystem of packaged application components, combined with
the security and trust delivered by Red
Hat's Container Certification Program. To orchestrate enterprise
applications that typically span multiple containers and hosts,
OpenShift Enterprise 3 also includes Kubernetes, a powerful, web-scale,
open source, container orchestration and management engine developed
with Google. As a leading
contributor to both the Docker and Kubernetes open source projects,
Red Hat is not just adopting these technologies but actively building
them upstream in the community.
Above this core container infrastructure platform, OpenShift adds a wide
selection of tools for developers to create and collaborate on
application projects, leveraging OpenShift web, command line, or
integrated development environment interfaces. Developers can push their
application code directly from GIT and automate the Docker image build
process using OpenShift's innovative source-to-image
build capabilities. Developers can also manage application deployments
and rollbacks and integrate with their existing development and
continuous integration tools. OpenShift Enterprise 3 also includes
enterprise middleware services from the Red Hat JBoss Middleware
portfolio including application container services with Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat JBoss Web Server (Tomcat) and
messaging services with Red Hat JBoss A-MQ.
As organizations are expanding their adoption of container-based
application delivery solutions, they need the capacity to deploy, run,
and manage their applications more efficiently and consistently. This
shift towards containerized applications and immutable infrastructure
enables organizations to easily deploy new microservices-based
applications architectures, while also managing their existing
applications across physical, virtual, private and public cloud
environments. OpenShift Enterprise 3 delivers powerful and fully
supported container-based development and deployment platform for
managing these applications across the lifecycle.
Preview OpenShift Dedicated
In addition to the launch of OpenShift Enterprise 3, Red Hat is
announcing the beta of OpenShift
Dedicated, a new public cloud service based on the OpenShift 3
platform. This service builds on OpenShift Online, Red Hat's hugely
popular public PaaS offering, hosting more than two and a half million
applications since its launch in November 2011. The new OpenShift
Dedicated service enables businesses to quickly build, launch and host
innovative applications in the public cloud by offering enterprises a
dedicated instance of OpenShift in the public cloud managed completely
by the OpenShift operations team.
New OpenShift Services Enhance the Developer Experience
Red Hat is adding new courses to its robust selection of enterprise
consulting and training services to assist users and developers in the
transition to OpenShift Enterprise 3. A new OpenShift Enterprise 3
administrator course can teach customers how to deploy, configure and
manage their OpenShift 3 environment. Then, when they are ready, they
can achieve their certification by passing the Red Hat Certificate of
Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) exam. A new OpenShift
Enterprise 3 developer course can show users how to build and deploy
applications and troubleshoot issues on the OpenShift 3 platform. By
introducing tools and methodologies that improve application lifecycle
management, Red Hat Consulting increases productivity by allowing
developers to write applications more quickly, reducing cycle times,
driving automation, and increasing efficiency.
Availability
OpenShift Enterprise 3 is now generally available, with pricing based on
socket and core pair options.
Attend the OpenShift Enterprise 3 Roadshow
The OpenShift team will embark on a global roadshow to showcase the
newest features in OpenShift 3 and host hands-on workshops to show users
the basics of installing an OpenShift 3 environment, building containers
from source code and deploying sample applications on OpenShift 3. The
roadshow will kick off in Raleigh, N.C. and is slated to visit over
twenty cities. Learn more and sign
up for a space at the roadshow.

"This release of OpenShift Enterprise 3 employs open source containers
and orchestration practices to change the developer experience and move
the platform in the direction of what customers are asking for -- a
flexible platform for a microservices architecture. Our continued
upstream work in the Docker and Kubernetes communities enable us to
deliver the most updated technology platform for developers and
operators, enabling them to remain competitive through quicker
innovation."
Jay Lyman, Research Manager, Cloud Platforms, 451 Research
"As the disruption of application container software continues to grow,
Red Hat is among the earliest and deepest supporters of the technology,
particularly with its focus on enterprise-readiness for containers in
its OpenShift Enterprise 3. With natively-integrated Docker containers
and Kubernetes container orchestration, Red Hat has fully embraced the
trend. Along with its community and customers, Red Hat is helping to
shape best practices and standards for containers with Openshift
Enterprise 3, which supports container-based application architecture
for new, cloud-native and existing enterprise applications."
Andrew Myers, general manager, Datacom
"By participating in the OpenShift Enterprise 3 Beta program Datacom has
been able to identify significant benefits of container technology and
how to easily embrace the DevOps methodology within our current
practices. OpenShift by Red Hat provides an easy to use
Platform-as-a-Service experience, and we see clear benefit to our
customers by allowing easy management of the entire development
lifecycle from the early development stages all the way to production
deployment."
Dr. Andre Engelbertz, Digital Division, T-Systems International GmbH
"Our variety of customers and end users in health and industry service
required a robust platform that could manage an application's entire
lifecycle over multiple datacenters. Adding OpenShift Enterprise to our
Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployment allowed us to bring control and
visibility into our Platform-as-a-Service environment with support we
could trust. Now our customers can easily move into the cloud, allowing
migration and development innovation to happen faster and with more
flexibility."
