Red Hat Expands Container-Native Storage for OpenShift Across the Hybrid Cloud
Red Hat launches new solution for Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced a new container-native storage solution aimed
at extending the portability of containerized applications across the
hybrid cloud. The new solution offers consistent, software-defined
storage for stateful applications using Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
As more enterprises deploy containers in production - and with many of
them using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform - the need for a
dynamic, consistent storage platform that works across operating
environments becomes vital for containerized applications, an area where
many traditional storage appliances fall short. Red Hat’s vision is to
enable customers to build
any application and to deploy them consistently across any footprint.
With today’s news, Red Hat is expanding the availability of Red Hat
Gluster Storage for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform in AWS
environments, helping to enable true portability of containerized
applications with consistent storage.
Red Hat Gluster Storage is software-defined storage integrated with and
optimized for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the industry's most
comprehensive Kubernetes-based platform for cloud-native application
development. Red Hat Gluster Storage can be deployed anywhere Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform runs - across bare metal, containers,
virtual machines, and private and public clouds - offering consistent
storage for users and developers of containerized applications. In
addition, storage provisioning and deployment is automated by Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, offering self-service access to developers
and users.
Red Hat’s solution for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.5 with Red
Hat Gluster Storage 3.2 on AWS is detailed in a new detailed reference
architecture. In addition, Red Hat offers an Ansible Playbook for
constructing a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster on AWS with
container-native Red Hat Gluster Storage to help customers become
operational more quickly.

Ranga Rangachari, vice president and general manager, Red Hat Storage
“Today’s
developers and users want elastic storage capacity to be immediately
available in multiple environments, and they can’t afford to be
distracted by the operational realities. This solution enables smooth
application transition across cloud boundaries, allowing for greater
flexibility and agility. We hope to be able to enable customers to use
Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on
other public clouds in the future.”
