NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 21 – Dell Technologies is expanding its longstanding strategic relationship with Red Hat to offer new solutions that simplify deploying and managing on-premises, containerized infrastructure in multicloud environments.
Management consulting firm, Gartner predicts that 90 per cent 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.”
Dell APEX Containers for Red Hat OpenShift will provide 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.
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.
