New cloud solution significantly simplifies the
technologies needed for enterprises to develop and run applications
at scale
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced Red Hat Cloud Suite for
Applications, an accelerated way to develop, deploy, and manage
applications at scale using open source technologies.
As organizations move to the cloud, many are evolving toward
microservices architectures that run within containers to increase
scalability, portability, and efficiency. These new architectures
require massively scalable infrastructure in order to realize their
full benefit. However, many organizations also have a high volume
of workloads not yet adapted for a microservices or container-based
architecture, but which could benefit from having a solution that
supports both applications running within virtual machines and new
container-based application architectures. For example, developers
may require storage services that are necessary for stateful
application development, alongside a new container-based service.
The ability to deploy both types of workloads on a single platform
with unified management can enable an organization to realize new
efficiencies.
Customers are increasingly seeking a complete, open source
solution that provides both scalable infrastructure and increased
developer productivity - with a broad choice of hardware and
certified software vendors.
Red Hat Cloud Suite for Applications helps solve these
challenges by providing both Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for
massive scalability and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for faster
application delivery, combined with a unified management framework
that supports hybrid deployment models. As the industry’s first
fully open source, integrated IaaS and PaaS solution, Red Hat Cloud
Suite for Applications enables customers to avoid cloud silos and
empowers them to select their service model of choice to best meet
changing business requirements.
Red Hat Cloud Suite for Applications integrates Red Hat’s
award-winning PaaS, IaaS and hybrid cloud management offerings -
OpenShift by Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform,
and Red Hat CloudForms, respectively. With seamless management of
both OpenShift and OpenStack with Red Hat CloudForms, an enterprise
management solution that enables open hybrid clouds by providing
consistent visibility across virtual infrastructure and public
cloud platforms, operators can more effectively manage both PaaS
and IaaS from a single console.
By integrating OpenShift with OpenStack, users not only have
access to a faster way to develop, deploy, and manage applications,
they also have access to a full suite of middleware and mobility
services. In addition, Red Hat Cloud Suite for Applications also
supports a broad range of certified hardware, servers and
third-party plugins, bringing users expanded choices for their
cloud stack.
Availability
Red Hat Cloud Suite for Applications is available via an Early
Access Program. General availability for Red Hat Cloud Suite for
Applications will be announced at a later date.

Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies, Red Hat
“Combining these powerful cloud offerings addresses a
significant customer need to reduce silos and enable more efficient
OpenStack cloud deployments. While other companies can provide one
or two of the building blocks for a cloud, Red Hat is the only
vendor that can offer IaaS, PaaS and management in an open
environment, backed by the strength of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
the ability to leverage certified hardware of their choice.”
Gary Chen, research manager, Cloud and Virtualization System
Software, IDC
“Open source is driving significant innovations in cloud
computing. Today, we see increasing convergence between IaaS and
PaaS. By bringing these open source solutions together, along with
integrated management, Red Hat is enabling customers to take
advantage of this cloud convergence with a fully open source,
integrated stack offering.”
Jim Ganthier, VP and GM of Engineered Solutions and Cloud,
Dell
“Cloud developers have often faced long lead times and
cumbersome processes to host and run development environments on
their infrastructure. Bringing Platform-as-a-Service and
Infrastructure-as-a-Service together gives software developers and
architects the benefits of both a scalable infrastructure and
improved productivity. The delivery of an industry first, open
source, integrated (IaaS and PaaS) application suite is one way
that Dell and Red Hat are working together to provide customers
with a simpler, faster, more cost effective path to a future ready
hybrid cloud that meets their needs now and helps them prepare for
the future.”
Anuj Bhalla, VP and Global Business Head – Products and System
Integration Services, Wipro Limited
“Wipro has long pioneered Open Source Adoption for its customers
and offers Open Datacenter and Open Apps offerings to address
customer needs to migrate to open source platforms and manage them.
Wipro and Red Hat have strategically invested in creating reference
architecture in the area of Hybrid Cloud and DevOps Automation. We
see a clear need for addressing heterogeneous client infrastructure
through a vertically integrated stack. Through Red Hat's robust
offering, Red Hat Cloud Suite for Applications, we believe we will
be able to continue working together to offer container-based
DevOps solutions with OpenShift and scalable infrastructure using
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, enabling our customers
as they build and manage a hybrid cloud."
