Cloud Solutions

While Red Hat doesn't lock you in to one vendor's cloud stack, we do offer a rich set of solutions for building your cloud. These can be used together, or in conjunction with, components from third-party vendors. Enabling you to create the best cloud for your unique needs.

Check out our solution offerings below:

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

The foundation of every cloud is a robust, scalable, and secure virtualization substrate. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is the industry's next generation of virtualization. Designed for the heavy demands of the cloud, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization creates a secure, scalable environment for sharing resources among multiple users and organizations, and for managing them simply and flexibly. Multi-tenancy creates new performance and security challenges that older virtualization technologies simply were not designed to address. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization introduces Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, enabling internal and external clouds to define and reliably meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs), a key factor needed for widespread cloud trust and adoption. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization was architected from the beginning to solve these problems. That's why so many major public cloud providers have begun to deploy Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as their virtualization layer.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG Grid
Red Hat Enterprise MRG Grid provides flexible workload scheduling and orchestration across diverse clouds. It adapts in real-time to capacity supply and demand. For example, if demand on your e-commerce application is higher than expected, Enterprise MRG Grid can automatically purchase, start, provision, and monitor additional servers in a Certified Premier Cloud Provider cloud, such as Amazon EC2. When the demand declines, or when more capacity is freed up on your internal servers, Enterprise MRG Grid will shut down the external servers and automatically shift the workloads to internal servers.
