New installer enables users to deploy
integrated cloud services with application development platforms in
hours
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today introduced QuickStart Cloud Installer as
part of Red Hat Cloud Suite, its pre-integrated set of cloud
technologies. With the web-based, graphical QuickStart Cloud
Installer, users can orchestrate the installation of Red Hat Cloud
Suite components from a single interface. As a result, users can
access a fully functional private cloud environment with
pre-defined default configurations within mere hours as shown by
Red Hat testing.
Red Hat Cloud Suite offers an integrated hybrid cloud solution
with a container application platform, massively scalable
infrastructure and unified management tools, all available
individually or via a single solution. This combination of
technologies provides a modern cloud environment where application
delivery teams can focus on development, testing, and deployments
using modern cloud and container-based solutions, while maintaining
control and visibility.
QuickStart Cloud Installer is designed to cut time spent on
installation and post configuration (to less than four hours in
most deployment scenarios) and require only minimal documentation
proficiency from users, helping to further simplify the workflow
for deploying fully integrated cloud services and application
development platforms. It launches with key capabilities,
including:
- A single, web-based intuitive interface
enables users to provision a fully functional cloud solution using
any combination of the Red Hat Cloud Suite components, including:
- Red Hat CloudForms 4.1;
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
3.2 (OpenShift Enterprise 3.2);
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8;
- Red Hat Satellite 6.2; and
- Red Hat Virtualization 4.
- Automatically registers deployed
products with the Red Hat Satellite server for rolling product
updates.
- Integrates with Red Hat Storage (Ceph
or Gluster), using the software-defined storage configurations for
Red Hat Virtualization, Red Hat OpenStack Platform or OpenShift
Container Platform deployments.
- Performs verification and validation of
configuration including auto-generating a list of minimum system
requirements required for the deployment.
- Integrates with the Red Hat Customer
Portal for automated subscription management.
Availability
The QuickStart Cloud Installer is currently available for
customers with entitlements to Red Hat Cloud Suite or Red Hat Cloud
Infrastructure.
