Leading Solutions Providers Turn to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to Drive Customer Innovation
Global systems integrators speed customer innovation, drive
infrastructure modernization with industry’s most comprehensive
enterprise Kubernetes platform
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RED HAT SUMMIT 2018 -- Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today highlighted global
momentum for its enterprise Kubernetes platform, Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform, with expanded support from global systems
integrators (SI). Enterprise digital transformation strategies
frequently demand flexible, scalable, and modern platforms to run
cloud-native workloads, a need that SIs seek to address with
Kubernetes-based orchestration technologies. Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform offers a powerful and flexible Kubernetes platform based on
proven enterprise technologies, paired with a robust partner ecosystem
and a vibrant community, providing SIs with an innovative foundation to
drive end user transformation.
According to Gartner, “In cloud-native computing areas, once a
technology is regarded as a de facto standard, the ecosystem surrounding
it will quickly grow. Therefore, an important action is to be familiar
with the container management ecosystem and to align to de facto
standard candidates such as Kubernetes.”1 Across Red Hat’s
partner ecosystem, SIs are taking notice of Kubernetes’ importance to
digital transformation and cloud-native development, and are turning to
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to help fuel these organizational
efforts.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform unites developers and IT operations
on a single platform to build, deploy, and manage applications
consistently across hybrid cloud infrastructures. This helps businesses
achieve greater value by delivering modern and traditional applications
with shorter development cycles and increased efficiencies. The platform
is built on open source innovation and industry standards, including Red
Hat Enterprise Linux and Kubernetes, and is trusted by many companies
around the world.
