New service tier targets enterprise IT
organizations embracing the public cloud
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, announced the general availability of OpenShift
Dedicated, a new cloud-based service targeting enterprise IT and
development teams. OpenShift Dedicated includes the Docker
container and Kubernetes orchestration technologies included in the
recently-released OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 and builds on OpenShift
Online, Red Hat's offering for individual developers to build,
launch and host their applications in a shared public cloud,
supported by Red Hat.
According to a recent IDC MarketScape report (1), Red Hat has
become a major player in the cloud application platform space.
Since it’s launch in November 2011, there has been a notable
increase in the number of applications created on and developers
using OpenShift Online. The general availability of OpenShift
Dedicated presents a third consumption model for Red Hat's
OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering:
- OpenShift Enterprise, designed
for organizations who want to deploy and manage their OpenShift
instances on their choice of on-premise hardware or certified cloud
provider;
- OpenShift Online, for individual
developers or teams who want to access OpenShift as a service in
the public cloud, using on-demand consumption in a multi-tenant
environment hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS); and
- OpenShift Dedicated, the newest
offering for enterprise IT organizations who want to use Red Hat
technology to deploy, manage and support their OpenShift instances
running on AWS.
Many customers in the application space want more control over
the building and isolation process for their applications, but
often do not want to complete administrative and operational
management tasks alone. Unlike other public cloud offerings that
may require administrative support, Red Hat acts as the service
provider, managing OpenShift Dedicated and offering
industry-leading support, helping to shorten time to value and free
up valuable time and resources for customers.
OpenShift Dedicated’s base package includes single-tenant
isolation and a resource pool of 100GB SSD-based persistent
storage, 48TB network iops and nine nodes to deploy container-based
applications. Administrative and security controls enable each
customer to customize and more securely access their cloud
environment using VPN and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
functions. With OpenShift Dedicated, customers can also access Red
Hat JBoss Middleware container-optimized services, integration and
business process capabilities from applications developed and
deployed on OpenShift.
Availability
OpenShift Dedicated is globally available today for Red Hat
customers in all AWS hosting regions, with support for other public
cloud options expected in the future.

”We are pleased to continue to expand OpenShift's portfolio of
offerings, extending new support to users running OpenShift in the
public cloud and enabling the power of an open source application
platform to extend into more layers of cloud computing. New users
signing on to OpenShift Dedicated can experience the same powerful
combination of Red Hat-backed support, middleware services and
container functionality they have come to expect in OpenShift
Enterprise – now optimized for the public cloud.”
Larry Carvalho, research manager, Platform as a Service, IDC
“Red Hat continues to advance its portfolio of solutions for the
hybrid cloud. OpenShift Dedicated adds to that, giving customers
the choice of a hosted offering in the public cloud for its
container application platform. This brings a true multi-cloud
offering to end-users, who can use OpenShift in the environment
that best suits their needs.”
Tyler Jewell, CEO, Codenvy
“Codenvy plans to provide an on-demand OpenShift developer
workspaces that are buildable and debuggable. This will provide
developers, identical development and production environments
instantaneously. OpenShift Dedicated provided us administration,
support and technology to stand up a large, configurable OpenShift
cloud for our integration engineering. Red Hat’s technology
and managed service team were responsive and agile, letting us
build and ship this new technology in under three months, letting
our engineers focus on our IP while Red Hat focused on
OpenShift.”
Dean Peterson, solution architect, State of Minnesota
“As part of the OpenShift Dedicated Early Access Program, we
were able to quickly receive access to our cluster and not worry
about building our own platform. Red Hat provided a excellent
hosting experience and proactive support, enabling us to focus on
building our applications."
Sebastian Villa, co-founder and director of technology,
Villamedia
“The OpenShift team and OpenShift Dedicated have enabled us to
create an iterative building model for our customers’ web
applications, many of which require on-demand modifications. With
this new technology, we have begun the process of moving our web
applications into a larger hosting environment where we can deploy
everything from a single location – all while knowing our websites
are being managed by a trusted, supported partner.”
