Red Hat upgrades cloud infrastructure offerings

Red Hat, a world provider of open source solutions, has announced updates to its OpenStack-powered cloud infrastructure offering, Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 4.0 gives enterprises an on-ramp to a highly scalable, public cloud-like infrastructure based on OpenStack while providing infrastructure and cost efficiency.
The new version of Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure features tighter integration between its virtualization, cloud and platform components, enabling users to reduce image inconsistencies and duplications by only creating a single set of virtual images.
As an ongoing effort to meet growing business demands, enterprises are quickly realizing the benefits of a cloud infrastructure, in addition to leveraging their existing data center investments.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 4.0 provides organizations with a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform that bridges operations over existing traditional virtualization environments, as well as new private and public cloud resources.
It offers an alternative traditional virtualization solution based on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for traditional workloads, as well as a tightly integrated OpenStack cloud framework with Linux operating environment, Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
It also includes Red Hat CloudForms, a heterogeneous management tool to unify operations for multiple hypervisor environments and cloud technologies, enabling enterprises to deploy traditional and elastic workloads to the private cloud, public cloud, and the datacenter as one cohesive environment.
An integrated open private cloud stack is a first step toward building an open hybrid cloud and Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure 4.0 provides organizations this comprehensive cloud infrastructure as a single subscription offering.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure also includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, which provides enterprises the stability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, backed by Red Hat’s trusted leadership in open source and the OpenStack community.
