Red Hat, the provider of open source solutions, today announced the general availability of OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform. The new offering brings Red Hat's container platform as a managed service offering to enterprise customers who want to build, launch, and manage applications on OpenShift Dedicated with Google Cloud Platform as their underlying cloud infrastructure.
With the availability of OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform, users can speed adoption of containers, Kubernetes, and cloud-native application patterns, benefiting from Red Hat’s enterprise experience. Users also benefit from Google’s global, container-optimised infrastructure and can more easily augment their applications with Google’s ecosystem of data analytics, machine learning, compute, network, and storage services.
A recent IDC study on the business value of OpenShift, commissioned by Red Hat, found that OpenShift enables customers to respond to market requirements faster by delivering business-critical, microservices-based applications with DevOps processes. These benefits include 66% faster application delivery times, 38% IT staff productivity gains, and 40% infrastructure cost savings, among others.
To help users operationalise containers, OpenShift Dedicated - along with the rest of the OpenShift portfolio - brings a more secure, enterprise-ready container platform based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat’s enterprise Linux platform. OpenShift Dedicated is built on the same code base as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, enabling customers to easily move their workloads across public and private clouds.
OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform includes:
· Single-tenant isolation and a resource pool of 100GB solid state drive (SSD)-based persistent storage, 48TB network input/output operations per second (IOPS), and nine nodes to deploy container-based applications.
· Administrative and security controls
· Access to Red Hat JBoss Middleware container-optimised services, integration and business process capabilities from applications developed and deployed on OpenShift.
· Availability across all six worldwide Google regions.
· Integration with Google Cloud services
Red Hat also offers professional services to help customers migrate container workloads, adopt continuous delivery and DevOps processes, and build microservices-based apps with OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform. And, via Red Hat Open Innovation Labs and Red Hat Consulting workshops, Red Hat can help customers build a blueprint for their digital transformation initiatives, alongside a specialised team of Red Hat technical consultants.
Ashesh Badani, VP and GM, OpenShift, Red Hat said, “With OpenShift Dedicated, OpenShift serves as the abstraction layer that works across multiple clouds. By expanding OpenShift Dedicated to now include Google Cloud Platform, our customers’ apps that run on OpenShift Dedicated can also take advantage of Google Cloud Services, furthering our vision for a truly portable platform across the multiple cloud and infrastructure platforms.”
Nan Boden, Head of Technology Partners, Google Cloud added, "Customers consistently tell us that they are looking for open solutions that will enable them to use both public and private infrastructure; they want choice. Red Hat has been an essential partner in making Kubernetes available to enterprises looking for the support and flexibility to manage a hybrid cloud. We are deeply committed to working with partners like Red Hat to help our customers operate in a digital world.”
Over the past four years, Red Hat has hosted nearly 3 million applications and 4 billion requests per day through its OpenShift public cloud platforms, OpenShift Dedicated and OpenShift Online.
