Dell and Red Hat Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider
of open source solutions, today announced an enhanced edition of
the Dell Red Hat Cloud Solution, a co-engineered, enterprise-grade
private-cloud solution based on OpenStack. The upgraded solution
addresses enterprise customer demand for more flexible, elastic and
agile IT services.
Designed to help customers build OpenStack-powered,
highly-scalable clouds, the updated solution is co-engineered with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Dell PowerEdge R630 and R730xd
high-density rack servers, part of Dell’s 13th generation PowerEdge
portfolio. With its hyper-dense memory, storage flexibility and
compact footprint, the PowerEdge R630 maximizes datacenter
efficiency for OpenStack cloud deployments. The PowerEdge R730xd
delivers an optimized balance of storage utilization and
performance making it ideal for hosting massively scalable Red Hat
Ceph storage.
This enterprise solution includes prescribed configurations for
compute, infrastructure, networking, and multiple options for
storage. It is designed to be easily scaled for an organization’s
needs now and the future. The upgraded solution provides customers
the following key benefits:
- Increased density – optimized
configurations minimize the data center footprint for OpenStack
admin and infrastructure nodes, and feature a 20 percent VM density
increase and over a 30 percent storage capacity increase within the
same size footprint
- Accelerated performance – fine-tuned
configurations of Dell PowerEdge R730xd servers with solid state
drives accelerate the performance of Ceph data processing, and with
a choice of hard drives and memory configurations, customers can
optimize Ceph storage to their application needs
- Added security and stability – Hardened
from the OpenStack “Juno” release, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 6 adds the security and stability of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7. Highly resilient 10GbE network designs with
multiple layers of redundancy provide continuous fault tolerant
operation. Additionally, extended lifecycle support includes
options for up to three years of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform “production phase” support and updates
This latest release of the Dell Red Hat Cloud Solution stems
from a longstanding collaboration between the two companies, and
joint engineering within the OpenStack community. Dell and Red Hat
have partnered for more than 15 years, and Dell was the first
company to OEM Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform in 2013.
Since then, the two companies have continued to combine their cloud
expertise, enterprise innovation and dedicated support of
co-engineering open and scalable cloud solutions to accelerate the
customer’s journey to cloud computing.
