Red Hat Revolutionizes the Private and Hybrid Cloud Market

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today introduced Red Hat CloudForms, a product for creating and managing Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) private and hybrid clouds. CloudForms redefines the IaaS cloud market by incorporating both comprehensive application lifecycle management and the ability to create integrated clouds from a broad range of computing resources with unique portability across physical, virtual and cloud computing resources. CloudForms leverages Red Hat’s technology and expertise of more than a decade powering the mission-critical infrastructure and applications for some of the world’s most demanding organizations.

By incorporating comprehensive application lifecycle management, Red Hat CloudForms allows organizations to benefit from the elasticity and flexibility of cloud computing while retaining the ability to control and govern their application portfolio in the cloud. CloudForms addresses key problems encountered in first-generation cloud products: the cost and complexity of virtual server sprawl, compliance nightmares and security concerns. It allows users to more easily configure and manage complex multi-tier applications, rather than having to independently manage large numbers of virtual servers. Once defined, these applications can be deployed, managed and moved between different clouds, virtualization environments and baremetal servers. The applications can be more quickly modified for time-critical security fixes, application updates or configuration changes. Compliance and security problems associated with clouds are substantially reduced because administrators know and control the applications, their configurations and where they are allowed to execute.
