Red Hat Adds QuickStart Cloud Installer to Red Hat Cloud Suite to Help Speed Private Cloud Deployments
New installer enables users to deploy integrated cloud services with
application development platforms in hours
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced QuickStart Cloud Installer as part of Red
Hat Cloud Suite, its pre-integrated set of cloud technologies. With the
web-based, graphical QuickStart Cloud Installer, users can orchestrate
the installation of Red Hat Cloud Suite components from a single
interface. As a result, users can access a fully functional private
cloud environment with pre-defined default configurations within mere
hours as shown by Red Hat testing.
Red Hat Cloud Suite offers an integrated hybrid cloud solution with a
container application platform, massively scalable infrastructure and
unified management tools, all available individually or via a single
solution. This combination of technologies provides a modern cloud
environment where application delivery teams can focus on development,
testing, and deployments using modern cloud and container-based
solutions, while maintaining control and visibility.
QuickStart Cloud Installer is designed to cut time spent on installation
and post configuration (to less than four hours in most deployment
scenarios) and require only minimal documentation proficiency from
users, helping to further simplify the workflow for deploying fully
integrated cloud services and application development platforms. It
launches with key capabilities, including:
-
A single, web-based intuitive interface enables users to provision a
fully functional cloud solution using any combination of the Red Hat
Cloud Suite components, including:
-
Red Hat CloudForms 4.1;
-
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.2 (OpenShift Enterprise
3.2);
-
Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8;
-
Red Hat Satellite 6.2; and

Automatically registers deployed products with the Red Hat Satellite
server for rolling product updates.

software-defined storage configurations for Red Hat Virtualization,
Red Hat OpenStack Platform or OpenShift Container Platform deployments.
-
Performs verification and validation of configuration including
auto-generating a list of minimum system requirements required for the
deployment.
-
Integrates with the Red Hat Customer Portal for automated subscription
management.
