New Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
deployment options help enterprises deliver mobile-centric
solutions which are defined by cloud native, microservices-based,
and agile approaches
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the release of Red Hat Mobile
Application Platform as a fully containerized offering designed to
run in any public cloud, private cloud or on-premise infrastructure
that supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Together with Red Hat's
existing SaaS-based mobile app platform, enterprises now have a
wider set of deployment options to integrate, manage, and scale
their mobile app initiatives to meet their business objectives.
The move to a fully containerized platform, Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform, based on docker-format containers and
Kubernetes, is part of Red Hat's strategy to provide a single,
integrated platform for modern application development that is
cloud native, mobile-centric, microservices-based, and API-driven.
This new generation of app development tools also support DevOps
and agile processes to help businesses innovate and respond to the
ever-changing needs of the digital enterprise.
Deployment of Red Hat Mobile Application Platform on OpenShift
provides a common platform to support mobile workloads running
alongside traditional enterprise applications that need to be moved
to the cloud. With the new option for a fully supported on-premise
deployment capability, customers can meet their specific
management, regulatory and policy requirements for their mobile
solutions.
In keeping with its commitment to open source, Red Hat also
announced the availability of workforce management (WFM) modules as
a tech preview, based on the open source FeedHenry RainCatcher
community project. These JavaScript and Node.js-based modules can
help speed the creation of customized mobile workforce management
solutions that automate, optimize and simplify field workforce
processes. Using the modules, organizations can compose mobile apps
more quickly and easily to drive greater efficiency in field
workforce operations.

Cathal McGloin, vice president, Mobile Platforms, Red Hat
“The pursuit of digital transformation is giving rise to a new
mobile enterprise, where application development is increasingly
defined by emerging architectures, processes and platforms that can
deliver greater business agility. Red Hat offers organizations a
powerful stack, based on these modern technologies, to develop,
integrate, deploy, and manage mobile applications alongside
traditional workloads running in this portable cloud-agnostic
containerized environment.”
Jeffrey Hammond and Michael Facemire, The Future of Mobile
Experience Development, August 2016 Forrester Report
“Modern applications are complex, multi-tiered, and omnichannel.
They arrive faster, scale up and down as necessary, and create
value quicker than traditional applications. And developers often
compose, rather than code, them. Development leaders must embrace
modern application development techniques to achieve long-term
success building mobile experiences.”
