managed service providers and other partners who are heavily involved in all aspects of building the hybrid cloud, not just multi-tenant public clouds.
As the cloud provider model expands to include private cloud build-outs, container-based Linux infrastructure, and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions, significant additional flexibility is needed to help these providers better meet customer needs for Red Hat cloud technologies. The Red Hat Certifier Cloud and Service Provider program addresses these needs not only by extending partner support but also by expanding the portfolio of Red Hat solutions available to those partners, including:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA
• Open Shift by Red Hat
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
• Red Hat JBoss Middleware
• Red Hat Gluster Storage
As Red Hat continues to focus on delivering open source innovation for the IT enterprise, the Certified Cloud and Service Provider portfolio will expand to include these new enterprise technologies. Additionally, customers can use Red Hat Cloud Access to seamlessly and seamlessly deploy certain Red Hat product subscriptions across Certified Cloud and Service Provider cloud offerings.
The Red Hat Cloud and Service Provider Certifier designation is awarded to partners after validation by Red Hat. Each provider must meet rigorous testing and certification requirements to demonstrate their ability to deliver a secure, scalable, supported, and consistent environment for enterprise cloud deployments. This unified, global program provides customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and partners with the confidence that Red Hat product experts have validated the solution, ensuring a solid foundation for deployment.
