Red Hat Expands Mobile Vision to Support Containerized Mobile App Development Based on Modern Application Technologies
New Red Hat Mobile Application Platform deployment options help
enterprises deliver mobile-centric solutions which are defined by cloud
native, microservices-based, and agile approaches
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the release of Red
Hat Mobile Application Platform as a fully containerized offering
designed to run in any public cloud, private cloud or on-premise
infrastructure that supports Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Together with Red Hat's existing SaaS-based
mobile app platform, enterprises now have a wider set of deployment
options to integrate, manage, and scale their mobile app initiatives to
meet their business objectives.
The move to a fully containerized platform, Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform, based on docker-format containers
and Kubernetes, is part of Red Hat's strategy to provide a single,
integrated platform for modern application development that is cloud
native, mobile-centric, microservices-based, and API-driven. This new
generation of app development tools also support DevOps and agile
processes to help businesses innovate and respond to the ever-changing
needs of the digital enterprise.
Deployment of Red Hat Mobile Application Platform on OpenShift provides
a common platform to support mobile workloads running alongside
traditional enterprise applications that need to be moved to the cloud.
With the new option for a fully supported on-premise deployment
capability, customers can meet their specific management, regulatory and
policy requirements for their mobile solutions.
In keeping with its commitment to open source, Red Hat also announced
the availability of workforce management (WFM) modules as a tech
preview, based on the open source FeedHenry RainCatcher community
project. These JavaScript and Node.js-based modules can help speed the
creation of customized mobile workforce management solutions that
automate, optimize and simplify field workforce processes. Using the
modules, organizations can compose mobile apps more quickly and easily
to drive greater efficiency in field workforce operations.

“The pursuit of digital transformation is giving rise to a new mobile
enterprise, where application development is increasingly defined by
emerging architectures, processes and platforms that can deliver greater
business agility. Red Hat offers organizations a powerful stack, based
on these modern technologies, to develop, integrate, deploy, and manage
mobile applications alongside traditional workloads running in this
portable cloud-agnostic containerized environment.”
Jeffrey Hammond and Michael Facemire, The Future of Mobile Experience
Development, August 2016 Forrester Report
“Modern applications are complex, multi-tiered, and omnichannel. They
arrive faster, scale up and down as necessary, and create value quicker
than traditional applications. And developers often compose, rather than
code, them. Development leaders must embrace modern application
development techniques to achieve long-term success building mobile
experiences.”
