Red Hat Releases Hyperconverged Infrastructure For Cloud
New offering brings together Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage to provide an open platform for innovation at the edge.
Red Hat, Inc. has introduced Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Cloud, an integrated solution for customers seeking to co-locate compute and storage functions in OpenStack environments. The new offering combines Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 and Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 in a single user experience, supported by a common lifecycle for greater operational and organizational efficiency.
Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Cloud offers an open platform to improve application portability between the data center and the edge, especially critical to enterprises that historically didn’t have any choice outside of inflexible, proprietary systems. In addition, nodes in an OpenStack deployment are interoperable, giving customers the choice to use non-hyperconverged nodes across their networks, with hyperconverged nodes at the edge, further improving resource utilization. By using existing skill sets in building private and hybrid cloud deployments, customers can innovate faster to address next-generation requirements for the edge.
