Red Hat’s container application platform
recognized as one of the year’s best tools and technologies for its
wide assortment of databases, languages and application stacks
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that OpenShift by Red Hat, the
company’s cloud application platform offering, has received the
InfoWorld Technology of the Year award for the second year in a
row. The annual awards identify the year’s best and most innovative
products in the IT landscape, selected by IDG’s InfoWorld Test
Center editors and reviewers. Winners are drawn from the products
tested by InfoWorld during the past year. For the second year in a
row, OpenShift was the only cloud application platform offering to
receive the award.
OpenShift saw significant momentum in 2015. OpenShift Enterprise
3 was introduced, marking the launch of the industry's first open
source enterprise-ready web-scale container application platform
combining the industry-leading features of Docker format Linux
containers, Kubernetes orchestration and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7. Leading companies around the world now use OpenShift to build
internal clouds, power online applications of all sizes and improve
operational efficiency, including Swiss grocery LeShop, American
credit-scoring agency FICO and Norwegian financial institution VPS.
Global travel technology provider Amadeus built a self-service,
automated cloud platform with OpenShift Enterprise.
In early 2015, Red Hat introduced OpenShift Commons community,
bringing OpenShift’s powerful open source community to a wider
expanse of technology communities, organizations and ecosystem
partners who are committed to the open source model and application
platform innovation. By June 2015, OpenShift Commons had tripled
its member base, now welcoming more than 170 customers,
contributors, partners and service providers. By December 2015, Red
Hat expanded its public cloud footprint with the launch of
OpenShift Dedicated, tailored for enterprise IT organizations
embracing the public cloud. Soon after its release, the OpenShift
Dedicated platform expanded its public cloud access to Google Cloud
Platform, giving customers better support for their existing
Kubernetes and OpenShift investments, in addition to powerful
services from Google Cloud Platform.
