IBM and Red Hat have announced a major expansion to their long-standing relationship, which will enable IBM and Red Hat customers to benefit from the combined power of both companies\u2019 technologies in private and public clouds.<\/p>\n
The agreement builds on IBM\u2019s recent move<\/u><\/a> to re-engineer its entire software portfolio with containers, including WebSphere, MQ Series and Db2.<\/p>\n Container technologies are fast becoming a safe and reliable way to move applications across multiple IT footprints, from existing data centres to the public cloud and vice versa.<\/p>\n Going hand-in-hand with IBM\u2019s shift to containerised software, is Red Hat\u2019s expansive portfolio of enterprise-grade, cloud-native, and hybrid cloud infrastructure solutions, which, when combined, provide a clear pathway for enterprises to adopt hybrid cloud computing.<\/p>\n Through the agreement, IBM and Red Hat customers can now:<\/p>\n As part of the agreement, IBM will extend its private cloud platforms (IBM Cloud Private and IBM Cloud Private for Data) and its middleware offerings to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform as Red Hat Certified Containers.<\/p>\n Customers can benefit from the speed and simplicity of the IBM Cloud Private self-service catalogue, deployment engine and operational management on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform across all footprints of the hybrid cloud including the IBM public cloud.<\/p>\n The announcement builds on two decades of partnership between IBM and Red Hat, which are two of the world\u2019s biggest open source companies.<\/p>\n This extended collaboration is already available to customers, as organisations with eligible Red Hat subscriptions can currently use their Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions on IBM Cloud via the Red Hat Cloud Access<\/u><\/a> solution.<\/p>\n The companies will also partner to provide joint consultancy and implementation services through the IBM Garage and Red Hat Consulting and the solution will be supported by world-class IBM Technology support services and Red Hat Services.<\/p>\n The news parallels a\u00a0joint development plan<\/u><\/a>\u00a0designed to accelerate the availability of key pieces of Red Hat\u2019s portfolio on IBM Power Systems. Additionally, IBM, in collaboration with Red Hat, also announced<\/u><\/a> that IBM PowerAI is now available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.<\/p>\n A total of 90% of Fortune 100 companies and more than 100 billion mission-critical transactions per day run on IBM systems. Meanwhile, Red Hat has become the leading Linux platform for the enterprise and one of the primary catalysts fuelling Kubernetes adoption for global IT organisations.<\/p>\n Paul Cormier, President, Products and Technologies, Red Hat, said: \u201cToday\u2019s enterprises need a succinct roadmap for digital transformation as well as confidence in deployment consistency across every IT footprint. By extending our long-standing collaboration with IBM, we\u2019re bringing together two leading enterprise application platforms in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and IBM Cloud Private and adding the power of IBM\u2019s software and cloud solutions.<\/p>\n \u201cTogether, we\u2019re providing customers with a supported, consistent offering across their computing environments.\u201d<\/p>\n Arvind Krishna, Senior Vice president, IBM Hybrid Cloud, said: \u201cWith IBM\u2019s recent move to containerise its middleware, today\u2019s landmark partnership between IBM and Red Hat provides customers with more choice and flexibility.<\/p>\n \u201cOur common vision for hybrid cloud using container architectures allows millions of enterprises \u2013 from banks, to airlines, to government organisations – to access leading technology from both companies without having to choose between public and private cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n Sam Fatigato, CEO, Coda Global, LLC, said: “IBM and Red Hat are leaders in delivering enterprise flexibility with strong support for open standards and hybrid cloud environments. This partnership aligns with Coda Global’s strategy to help customers modernise their applications leveraging container-based cloud computing with enterprise-grade management and scale.<\/p>\n \u201cCoda Global empowers businesses to rapidly bring their greatest ideas to market, and the combination of IBM Cloud Private and Red Hat OpenShift helps us to deliver with speed, quality, and scale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IBM and Red Hat have announced a major expansion to their long-standing relationship, which will enable IBM and Red Hat customers to benefit from the combined power of both companies\u2019 technologies in private and public clouds.
