Open source management platform provides integrated management across
health insurance provider's heterogeneous datacenter resources
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's largest provider of open source
software solutions, today announced that Corvesta, Inc. has selected Red
Hat CloudForms as part of Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure to manage its
build-out of a cohesive, hybrid cloud infrastructure aimed at business
diversification. CloudForms will manage Corvesta's existing private
cloud infrastructure consisting of resources from Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization, Amazon Web Services and VMware.
Corvesta, Inc., a company dedicated to advancing oral health, evaluated
multiple cloud management platforms in order to transform their legacy
infrastructure into an agile sandbox environment for development, as
well as to explore the possibility of horizontal scaling through cloud
computing that could respond to the business' demand. They selected Red
Hat CloudForms for its open source ecosystem, which allows the solution
to fully integrate and serve as the primary interface for Corvesta's
existing cloud and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization resources with
little-to-no modification. Additionally, Red Hat CloudForms includes
Corvesta's required infrastructure and management tools as well as a
robust suite of offerings around compliance and policy management,
service catalog management, automation and reporting, and optimization
and utilization toolsets.
Along with automation and management tools, Red Hat CloudForms' support
of multiple programming languages and the REST API allowed Corvesta to
customize modules for their web interface and quickly develop test
environments for those products through an automated service catalog-
reducing the process from several days to less than 48 hours. Red Hat
CloudForms' ability to run as an appliance on a virtual machine also
allowed the platform to easily integrate into Corvesta's high
availability and disaster recovery infrastructure by following a
standard cloning and migrating process between data centers.
In the future, Corvesta expects to expand their virtualization and
storage resources, and migrate more proprietary resources to Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization, especially as they continue to grow their
business in the oral health and related industries.
