Red Hat cited for “very composable package by
leveraging a mix of market standards and open source in addition to
its own development”
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that it has been named a leader
in two Forrester research reports ranking private cloud software
suites and hybrid cloud management solutions. “The Forrester Wave™:
Private Cloud Software Suites, Q1 2016” and “The Forrester Wave™:
Hybrid Cloud Management Solutions, Q1 2016” reports assessed
vendors in terms of their current offerings, market presence, and
strategy, and Red Hat was placed as a leader in both reports.
“Red Hat ... leads the evaluation with its powerful portal, top
governance capabilities, and a strategy built around integration,
open source, and interoperability. Rather than trying to build a
custom approach for completing functions around operations,
governance, or automation, Red Hat provides a very composable
package by leveraging a mix of market standards and open source in
addition to its own development,” “The Forrester Wave™: Private
Cloud Software Suites, Q1 2016” report noted.
According to Forrester, the private cloud market “is growing
because more I&O professionals see private cloud as the
platform to enable their customer experience transformation. When
selecting a solution, enterprises look for speed to provision,
control of access and fully published APIs.” In “The Forrester
Wave™: Hybrid Cloud Management Solutions, Q1 2016,” Forrester
indicated that, “Sixty-five percent [of survey respondents] say
they already use more than one public and/or private cloud
platform, indicating that the hybrid cloud is a reality today.”
For “The Forrester Wave™: Private Cloud Software Suites, Q1
2016” report, Forrester conducted a 40-criteria evaluation of the
nine most significant private cloud software providers. Each
evaluated vendor sells a software-only solution that allows for
complete automation and management of the cloud infrastructure
provisioning process. Red Hat “received top marks for workflow
life-cycle automation, administrative portal usability and
experience, permissions, compliance tracking, capacity monitoring,
platform APIs, ITSM and developer tools, and configuration
management tool integration.”
Red Hat CloudForms was also named a leader in “The Forrester
Wave™: Hybrid Cloud Management Solutions, Q1 2016.” For this
writeup, Forrester evaluated hybrid cloud management vendors
against 32 criteria and grouped them into three high-level buckets
based on current offerings, strategy and market presence. Red Hat
was listed as one of the “top choices for developer and DevOps
teams concerned mainly with building applications that run across
multiple clouds, with a strong preference for public cloud
platforms.”
Red Hat’s private cloud and cloud management portfolio has
experienced significant momentum over the past year. The latest
version of its hybrid cloud management platform, Red Hat CloudForms
4, was released in December 2015 and delivered expanded
capabilities, including support for Microsoft Azure. This inclusion
marked a key milestone in Red Hat’s recently-announced partnership
with Microsoft - a collaboration aimed at enabling customers to
embrace hybrid cloud computing by providing greater choice and
flexibility for the deployment of Red Hat solutions on Microsoft
Azure. Red Hat also updated its cloud infrastructure portfolio in
the summer of 2015, introducing Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 6 with
a unified installer designed to enable smoother deployment of a
complete private cloud spanning infrastructure and management
platforms.
