Red Hat introduces Red Hat Access Insights to give customers better
infrastructure, adds new management features to optimize hybrid cloud
deployments
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RED HAT SUMMIT 2015 - Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced several new
analytics and management innovations to help customers optimize their
on-premise and cloud deployments. Red Hat introduced Red Hat Access
Insights to provide customers with operational analytics, and announced
expanded capabilities in Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure, Red Hat
CloudForms, and Red Hat Satellite.
Red Hat's unique, fully open source management portfolio provides
customers with the flexibility to select the best private and public
cloud platforms for their business and IT needs. Its open infrastructure
also affords users the choice of modular, easily consumable,
highly-integratable management products or a complete cloud stack with
integrated cloud infrastructure platform, management and
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Introducing Red Hat Access Insights
Red Hat Access Insights is a service designed to help customers
proactively prevent and resolve issues impacting critical business
operations. This new feature provides IT managers and system
administrators with better visibility into their Red Hat infrastructure,
and focuses on four critical areas: performance, availability,
stability, and security. The software can alert managers to potential
issues - such as configuration problems or security vulnerabilities -
within each of these areas so IT administrators can use the Red Hat
Access Insights dashboard to identify, understand, and correct or
intercept issues before any business impact occurs.
Red Hat Access Insights is the industry's only operations analytics
service to leverage the extensive technical knowledge and deep product
expertise of Red Hat Certified Architects and Red Hat's award-winning
customer support team. By using actionable intelligence to
proactively manage and optimize your Red Hat infrastructure across
physical, virtual and cloud deployments, Red Hat Access Insights helps
users to identify and resolve current and potential technical issues.
With Red Hat Access Insights, users can reduce downtime and spend more
time focusing on strategic goals.
Expanding capabilities across Red Hat's management portfolio
Red Hat also introduced updates to its management portfolio, including:
-
General availability of Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 6, the
latest version of its comprehensive solution to support organizations
on their journey from traditional datacenter virtualization to
OpenStack-powered clouds, featuring a new, unified installation
experience. The unified installer is designed to enable smoother
deployment of a complete private cloud spanning infrastructure and
management platforms and reducing the time and skills required to
build a complete private cloud.
-
Support for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager
(SCVMM)-based private clouds in Red Hat CloudForms, adding to
CloudForms' already robust multi-platform support, spanning VMware
vSphere, Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization, and Amazon Web Services.
-
The beta availability of Red Hat Satellite 6.1, including new
Docker registry functionality that enables users to define lifecycles
for the popular Docker image format, increasing control and security
for enterprises
-
A preview of container management capabilities in Red Hat CloudForms,
enabling customers to gain valuable insight into container based
workloads running across multiple infrastructure providers including:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, VMware vSphere, Amazon
Web Services, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization. The new container features also integrate with
Kubernetes, the container orchestration technology pioneered by Google
and available in Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform and OpenShift
Enterprise.
Availability
Red Hat Access Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is supported in
versions 6 and 7 and delivered through the Red Hat Customer Portal or
Red Hat Satellite. It is available via an early adopter program,
supported in Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 6 and delivered through the
Customer Portal or Red Hat CloudForms.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 6, Red Hat CloudForms 3.2 with support for
Microsoft SCVMM-based private clouds, and the Red Hat Satellite 6.1 beta

"Our goal at Red Hat is to provide customers with innovative solutions
to help them reach their business goals. Red Hat Access Insights
provides direct access to tailored guidance allowing customers to shift
focus from reactive fire-fighting to informed proactive systems
management. As IT infrastructures evolve, Red Hat customers can deploy
new technologies with confidence, knowing their deployments are being
analyzed and validated by Red Hat."
Joe Fitzgerald, general manager, cloud management, Red Hat
"Red Hat has once again integrated and extended our management
capabilities to provide customers better insight and reduce complexity

container-based, microservice architectures, Red Hat's is not only
building the fundamental container enablement, deployment and
orchestration capabilities - we are rapidly extending our management
solutions to support containers as well."

"Management is key when it comes to the cloud. The advantage to
deploying workloads to the cloud can only be found if users have a way
to manage those workloads easily. Red Hat's work with Access Insights,
RHCI, CloudForms, and Satellite could provide the control users have
been looking for."
