Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Businesses that are quick to adapt, efficient with their resources, and innovative in their approach to problems are flourishing in today’s highly competitive economy. The cloud has certainly been a fantastic enabler for all this, and this has led to many migrating to and embracing a hybrid cloud approach – which involves using a combination of on-prem, private and public cloud environments.

However, to get the most out of the hybrid cloud, businesses are realising that they must adopt containerisation and Kubernetes, as these will give them the best way to encapsulate application code, making applications much more portable, scalable and faster to deploy. The problem with hybrid clouds and containers is that they come with many complexities, which, for organisations, could mean higher costs, longer delivery times, increased risk and also the need to hire experts in order to navigate the complexities.

The good news is there is a consistent platform to address these hybrid cloud challenges. Red Hat Cloud Services are designed to deliver a fully managed and streamlined user experience for businesses that want to build, deploy, manage and scale cloud-native applications across their hybrid environments.

Accelerate Your Business Growth With Red Hat Cloud Services

Red Hat Cloud Services fall into three broad categories: Platform services for fully managed OpenShift, the hybrid cloud enterprise Kubernetes-based app platform; on-demand application services that streamline the production of cloud-native applications; and data services that provide on-demand data access, storage, preparation, and analysis. Among the clear benefits they provide for today’s businesses include:

1. Less Complexity
   Regrettably, many businesses lack the resources to properly manage containerised applications at scale along with the supporting infrastructure. Red Hat cloud services reduce operational burden via a Global Site Reliability Engineering team who proactively manages the platform and infrastructure for you. Day 1 and Day 2 operations are automated from installation, configuration, maintenance and upgrades. In addition, the cloud services are covered by a 99.95% uptime SLA and 24×7 premium tier support. Having the necessary infrastructure available on-demand along with the day-to-day platform operations handled by a third party enables your teams to simplify operations and concentrate on… building the applications themselves. Fewer disruptions mean more work gets done.
2. Speed Up Application Delivery Velocity
   Developers in legacy environments spent an average of 160 hours per app. This includes time spent on image generation, testing, maintenance, and security, as reported by Forrester. With Red Hat Cloud Services, it has been proven that development times can be cut by 60% in the first year of deployment, 65% in the second year, and 70% in the third year. Accelerated app deployment, continuous app evolution, and global scalability are just some of the benefits of using Red Hat Cloud Services.
3. Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
   With a hybrid cloud, consistency is key. Red Hat OpenShift becomes a unifying layer across different environments, providing the needed consistency and governance for both development and operations teams. And with Red Hat Cloud Services, your teams can develop and deploy cloud-native apps with a consistent experience across on-prem and different clouds (with unified billing and management from their cloud provider of choice), so they can focus on delivering innovative business services instead of managing the underlying complexity of hybrid cloud and container orchestration.

Transform and Scale Your Business with Confidence

Red Hat’s managed cloud services are built on their existing portfolio of Red Hat OpenShift offerings to provide a fully-managed Kubernetes-based application platform across leading public clouds, including AWS and Microsoft Azure. From infrastructure to day-to-day operations, Red Hat cloud services take care of the whole platform stack for you, giving you flexibility in delivering any application, anywhere, and harnessing the full potential of the hybrid cloud, without extra overhead or complexity.
