SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RED HAT SUMMIT 2018 -- Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that a
growing number of organizations around the world are turning to its container-native
storage offering to support the adoption of Linux containers. In the
last year, Red Hat has surpassed 150 customers worldwide adopting
container-native storage with its Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
environments. Customers such as Aragonesa de Servicios Telemáticos (AST),Generali Switzerland, IHK-GfI, and Lufthansa Technik are using Red

seeking out scalable, fully integrated, developer-friendly storage for
containers.
Based on Red Hat Gluster Storage, container-native storage from Red Hat
offers these organizations scalable, persistent storage for containers
across hybrid
clouds with increased application portability. Tightly integrated
with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, container-native storage from
Red Hat can be used to persist not only application data but data for
logging, metrics, and the container registry. The deep integration with
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform helps developers easily provision
and manage elastic storage for applications, and offers a single point
of support. Customers use container-native storage to persist data for a
variety of applications including SQL and NoSQL databases, CI/CD tools,
web serving, and messaging applications.
Organizations using container-native storage from Red Hat can benefit
from simplified management, rapid deployment, and a single point of
support. The versatility of container-native storage from Red Hat can
enable customers to run cloud-native applications in containers, on bare
metal, in virtualized environments, or in the public cloud.
Some recent examples of how leading enterprises are benefitting from
container-native storage from Red Hat include:
- Aragonesa de Servicios Telemáticos (AST) - A Spanish
public entity that has a mission to provide all the technical services

than 70 chambers of industry and commerce in Germany. The operations
team was interested in a more scalable and better performant storage
solution for its container environment than the existing storage

container-native storage from Red Hat along with Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform for its performance over NFS and support for hybrid
cloud deployments.
- Lufthansa Technik - Container-native storage from Red Hat was a
key piece enabling

“The
success of a company’s hybrid cloud strategy is dependent on the scale
and flexibility of the underlying infrastructure used to build and
deploy cloud-native applications. Container-native storage, deeply
integrated with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, brings to bear
years of Red Hat's deep expertise building highly scalable, durable, and
secure distributed storage solutions. Our most innovative customers are

“As
developers look to provide easily portable applications that can be
consistently managed in hybrid cloud environments, the need for
scalable, persistent, container-based storage is becoming more
