Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) is expanding its long-standing
strategic relationship with Red Hat to offer new solutions that
simplify deploying and managing on-premises, containerized
infrastructure in multicloud environments.
Gartner predicts that 90% of global organizations will run
containerized applications in production by
2027.1 However, as adoption has grown, so have the
challenges associated with deploying and managing container
deployments across organizations and finding IT staff with
container skills. Combined Dell and Red Hat solutions will help
organizations speed development and operations (DevOps) of
cloud-native applications while removing IT management
barriers.
"The Dell and Red Hat collaboration is key to our efforts to
build a multicloud ecosystem that offers customers greater
flexibility and choice as they develop new applications and
modernize existing ones in multicloud environments," said
Jeff Boudreau, president,
Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. "With Dell APEX
and Red Hat OpenShift, developers can focus on delivering
innovative products and services and alleviate supporting
infrastructure concerns."
"Customers want to be able to run their applications wherever
they need to, with the flexibility to shift from the datacenter to
the edge to multiple public clouds as business needs dictate," said
Ashesh Badani, senior vice
president, Head of Products, Red Hat. "By extending our existing
collaboration with Dell, we're giving customers even more choice
and flexibility in their hybrid cloud operations, pairing the
industry's leading enterprise Kubernetes platform in Red Hat
OpenShift with Dell's powerful infrastructure technologies. This
joint work will help simplify how organizations address the
changing dynamics of enterprise IT, enabling IT teams to build
applications once for on premises deployment but retain the agility
to also run them wherever needed across the breadth of the open
hybrid cloud."
Dell APEX Containers for Red Hat OpenShift offers an
on-premises, Dell-managed Container-as-a-Service solution to
empower developer innovation
APEX Containers for Red Hat OpenShift provides IT organizations
and their developers with a Dell-managed, on-premises
Container-as-a-Service solution on Dell infrastructure. With Red
Hat OpenShift, the service allows customers to meet the needs of
their developers without the need to build and manage their own
physical infrastructure.
Delivered as a subscription, Dell oversees infrastructure
management activities and operations. An assigned APEX Customer
Success Manager offers customers a trusted advisor to help ensure a
worry-free APEX experience throughout the service.
Dell Validated Platform simplifies deployment and management
of on-premises, Red Hat OpenShift infrastructure
The Dell Validated Platform for Red Hat OpenShift, powered by
Intel, streamlines deployment processes and management of
on-premises infrastructure for container orchestration with fully
documented deployment and configuration guidance. Customers can
more quickly get their on-premises infrastructure up and running
and can more predictably operate a Red Hat OpenShift environment on
Dell PowerFlex software-defined infrastructure.
Co-developed to run Red Hat OpenShift on bare metal, DevOps
teams can more rapidly provision compute and storage resources and
provide infrastructure-as-code while automating DevOps processes,
empowering developers to become an innovation engine for their
businesses.
Dell and Red Hat to co-engineer a hybrid cloud solution
designed for consistent management across all IT locations
Dell and Red Hat are co-engineering a hybrid cloud solution that
extends management of on-premises Red Hat OpenShift deployments
across public clouds and the edge more consistently.
This automated infrastructure will be designed to use Dell
software for full stack integration of Red Hat OpenShift on
scalable Dell software-defined storage and compute to deliver cloud
flexibility and help simplify on-premises operations.
With application agility being critical for businesses to
remain competitive, tight integration will make it easier for
organizations to develop applications once and deploy them anywhere
with a common operational model.
Dell and IBM intend to offer artificial intelligence for IT
operations (AIOps) and intelligent automation capabilities to help
enable high availability, uptime and performance of customers'
mission-critical applications at any scale. When available, this
will offer customers the option of additional visibility and
actionable insights, across the full stack, from infrastructure
through business applications.
