Red Hat's container application platform recognized as one of the
year's best tools and technologies for its wide assortment of databases,
languages and application stacks
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that OpenShift by Red Hat, the company's
cloud application platform offering, has received the InfoWorld
Technology of the Year award for the second year in a row. The
annual awards identify the year's best and most innovative products in
the IT landscape, selected by IDG's InfoWorld Test Center editors and
reviewers. Winners are drawn from the products tested by InfoWorld
during the past year. For the second year in a row, OpenShift was the
only cloud application platform offering to receive the award.
OpenShift saw significant momentum in 2015. OpenShift Enterprise 3 was introduced,
marking the launch of the industry's first open source enterprise-ready
web-scale container application platform combining the industry-leading
features of Docker format Linux containers, Kubernetes orchestration and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Leading companies around the world now use
OpenShift to build internal clouds, power online applications of all
sizes and improve operational efficiency, including Swiss grocery LeShop,
American credit-scoring agency FICO
and Norwegian financial institution VPS.
Global travel technology provider Amadeus
built a self-service, automated cloud platform with OpenShift Enterprise.
In early 2015, Red Hat introduced
OpenShift Commons community, bringing OpenShift's powerful open source
community to a wider expanse of technology communities, organizations
and ecosystem partners who are committed to the open source model and
application platform innovation. By June 2015, OpenShift Commons had
tripled its member base, now welcoming
more than 170 customers, contributors, partners and service providers.
By December 2015, Red Hat expanded its public cloud footprint with the
launch of OpenShift
Dedicated, tailored for enterprise IT organizations embracing the
public cloud. Soon after its release, the OpenShift Dedicated platform
expanded its public cloud access to Google
Cloud Platform, giving customers better support for their existing
Kubernetes and OpenShift investments, in addition to powerful services
from Google Cloud Platform.
