Red Hat has announced updates to its OpenStack-powered cloud infrastructure offering - Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure. Red Hat CloudInfrastructure 4.0 gives enterprises an on-ramp to a highly scalable, public cloud-like infrastructure based on OpenStack while providing infrastructure and cost-efficiency. The new version of Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure features tighter integration between its virtualization, cloud and platform components, enabling users to reduce image inconsistencies and duplications by only creating a single set of virtual images.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 4.0 provides organizations with a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform that bridges operations over existing traditional virtualization environments, as well as new private and public cloud resources.
In addition to cloud management, Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure offers infrastructure for cloud-enabled applications in a variety of environments with the combination of Red Hat CloudForms and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0 with discovery, chargeback, self-service provisioning, and more.
Radhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager, Virtualization, Red Hat, said, “Red Hat is excited about the updated offerings to meet the data center virtualization and elastic cloud needs of customers structuring their journey to an open hybrid cloud. These offerings are engineered to help build a more productive and efficient open private cloud and provide a more reliable infrastructure for IT and cloud operators. Now backed by the world’s largest OpenStackpartner ecosystem, Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure helps IT to bridge data center infrastructure silos and more effectively meet user needs.”
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 4.0 is available immediately to existing customers through their Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure subscription and to new customers by contacting Red Hat sales.
