Atos Launches Managed OpenShift with Red Hat to Accelerate Businesses' Digital Transformation
PARIS & RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Atos,
a global leader in digital transformation, and Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:
RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announces a
collaboration to deliver a new fully-managed cloud container solution -
Atos Managed OpenShift (AMOS) – built on Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the industry’s most comprehensive
enterprise-grade container platform based on industry standards,
including Linux container technologies and Kubernetes.
AMOS enables customers to create and run cloud-native applications and
migrate legacy workloads on enterprise hybrid cloud environments, in a
fully-managed service, leveraging the power of open source container
technologies (Linux container technologies, Kubernetes). Because AMOS is
built on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, a container-centric
hybrid cloud solution, it can deliver the flexibility customers seek
from cloud-native and container-based applications.
This new service is part of Atos Canopy
Orchestrated Hybrid Cloud, which provides businesses with highly
industrialized and automated end-to-end Cloud services including
application and infrastructure transformation and management.
Features and benefits the new service is designed to include:
- Fully-managed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform: enables
reducing the time, cost and complexity required to manage and operate
container technologies so businesses can focus on product creation.
- Deployable to multiple clouds: can be used across private,
public and hybrid cloud landscapes.
- Complementary services and tools: a full development suite with
a DevOps tool chain, enabling greater security risk compliance.
- Easier management of application development and delivery:
stable platform with stronger security capabilities enables continuous
creation, delivery, collaboration and development of apps across IT
operational and development teams.
- Higher workload density with lower infrastructure costs
- Productivity increase and faster time-to-market
- Lower IT support time and costs
“Atos has created, in collaboration with Red Hat, a number of market
solutions for clients to support them on their digital transformation
journey. Based on those successes and considering the opportunities in
the open source cloud market, we are excited to collaborate with Red Hat
on this new opportunity,” said Ursula Morgenstern, Executive
Vice-President Atos Global Business & Platform Services, Atos.
“Red Hat, the global leading provider of open source solutions,
welcomes the opportunity to expand our collaboration with Atos, a global
leader in technology and cloud services. Together, Red Hat and Atos aim
to accelerate the adoption of DevOps and agile application development
and help transform operational capabilities to modernize applications on
container technologies, deliver new microservices, and accelerate
development processes. Red Hat looks forward to building on our
successes and shared practices to provide a joint services framework
that enables customer innovation across the hybrid cloud.” Arun
Oberoi, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Services, Red Hat.
This announcement represents an exciting step change in the
collaborative relationship which Atos and Red Hat have enjoyed for more
than seven years. It is also the first development program from Atos’
new Cloud Engineering Centre of Excellence, which is focused on building
and bringing compelling business solutions using trusted technology
