Red Hat, Inc., known for its open source solutions, just released its Red Hat Mobile Application Platform.
A “fully containerized offering designed to run in any public cloud, private cloud or on-premise infrastructure that supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux,” it provides businesses a wider set of deployment options to integrate, manage, and scale their mobile app initiatives.
“The move to a fully containerized platform, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, based on docker-format containers and Kubernetes, is part of Red Hat’s strategy to provide a single, integrated platform for modern application development that is cloud native, mobile-centric, microservices-based, and API-driven,” the Red Hat team reports. “This new generation of app development tools also support DevOps and agile processes to help businesses innovate and respond to the ever-changing needs of the digital enterprise.”
This new option for a fully supported on-premise deployment capability allows enterprises to meet their specific management, regulatory, and policy requirements with regard to mobile solutions.
“The pursuit of digital transformation is giving rise to a new mobile enterprise, where application development is increasingly defined by emerging architectures, processes and platforms that can deliver greater business agility,” said Cathal McGloin, vice president for Mobile Platforms at Red Hat.
“Red Hat offers organizations a powerful stack, based on these modern technologies, to develop, integrate, deploy, and manage mobile applications alongside traditional workloads running in this portable cloud-agnostic containerized environment,” McGloin added.
