Veritas and Red Hat Collaborate to Support Requirements for Business Critical Applications on OpenStack

Business Wire
Veritas, the leader in information management, and Red Hat, Inc.
(NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions,
today announced a collaboration aimed at supporting business
critical enterprise applications on OpenStack. Building on their
long history of technology collaboration focused on business
continuity, storage management and data protection solutions for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Virtualization, the two
companies plan to work together to offer predictable quality of
service to OpenStack applications and workloads, regardless of
scale.
Red Hat OpenStack Platform is a highly scalable
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution that enhances OpenStack
with advanced features needed for cloud environments. It is a
co-engineered solution that integrates the proven foundation of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux with Red Hat's OpenStack technology to form a
stable, high-performing and production-ready cloud environment.
Veritas has selected Red Hat OpenStack Platform to build OpenStack
solutions that provide a highly predictable quality of service to
meet the requirements of business critical workloads with
cost-effective direct-attached storage (DAS) using Veritas storage
management technologies. Through the collaboration, Veritas aims to
bring the ability to execute data protection tasks through
integration with backup software without impacting production
operations to Red Hat OpenStack Platform environments.
“Red Hat OpenStack Platform is a leading production-ready
OpenStack distribution for enterprises for their private cloud
infrastructure. We are working with Red Hat so that organizations
can confidently adopt OpenStack for their most demanding enterprise
workloads,” said Mike Palmer, Senior Vice President, Solutions for
Data Insight and Orchestration, Veritas.
OpenStack has quickly gained traction as a cloud platform
framework of choice for customers seeking agile, cost-effective and
open source solutions. Indeed, the platform has seen increased
penetration, with the 2016 OpenStack User Survey indicating
production use of OpenStack at 65%, up from 33% two years ago. Yet
organizations can still face challenges when it comes to executing
their traditional, Mode 1 enterprise workloads on OpenStack due to
the high performance and reliability requirements. Effective
storage management that offers the necessary quality of
service—regardless of scale—is a key part of successfully adopting
OpenStack for these enterprise production workloads.
“Red Hat OpenStack Platform is in production across hundreds of
customers, spanning multiple verticals. We are delighted to
collaborate with Veritas to bring enterprise customers more choice
and draw on their long legacy of enterprise storage management,
resiliency and data protection to help our customers address the
performance and reliability requirements of traditional tier 1
workloads running on Red Hat OpenStack Platform,” commented Radhesh
Balakrishnan, General Manager, OpenStack, Red Hat.
“The quality of service or ‘noisy neighbor’ challenge is one of
the key issues enterprises face as they look to deploy workloads on
OpenStack. Veritas’s ability to address this can give customers the
confidence to deploy their mode 1 apps on OpenStack knowing that
they can have the performance and resiliency they need,” Scott
Sinclair, Senior Analyst, ESG.
