Red Hat Announces Availability of OpenShift Enterprise 2
Red Hat, Inc. announced the general availability of OpenShift Enterprise 2, the latest version of its on-premise private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. With OpenShift Enterprise 2, customers can increase the velocity, efficiency and scalability of their IT service delivery, drive faster development of new applications and business services and reduce time-to-market.
With powerful new features - including datacenter infrastructure integration, an advanced administration console, support for even more programming languages, and new collaboration capabilities - and expanded global availability, a wider range of developers can achieve the benefits of private PaaS technology for their cloud deployments.
OpenShift Enterprise, introduced in November 2012, is a critical component of Red Hat's vision for the open hybrid cloud, providing an on-demand, elastic, scalable and fully configured application development, testing and hosting environment for application developers so they can focus on coding new application services with reduced operational burdens.
It automates much of the provisioning and systems management of the application platform stack in a way that enables the IT operations team to more easily meet growing business demands for new application services.
OpenShift Enterprise is built on a trusted stack of open source-based Red Hat technologies, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and OpenShift Origin, the open source PaaS project that forms the foundation for all of Red Hat's suite of OpenShift PaaS platforms.
Since its launch, Red Hat has added more than 45 features to OpenShift Enterprise via four product releases, incorporating many features first introduced in OpenShift Online, the company's fully-supported public PaaS offering.
