Red Hat and Dell team up on containers

Dell and Red Hat have entered a new partnership which they think will simplify deploying and managing on-premises containerised infrastructure in multi-cloud environments.

Dell says the deal will help companies speed the development and operations of cloud-native applications while removing IT management barriers.

Dell president of infrastructure solutions Jeff Boudreau said: “The Dell and Red Hat collaboration is key to our efforts to build a multi-cloud ecosystem that offers customers greater flexibility and choice as they develop new applications and modernise existing ones in multi-cloud environments,”

“With Dell APEX and Red Hat OpenShift, developers can focus on delivering innovative products and services and alleviate supporting infrastructure concerns.”

“Customers can more quickly get their on-premises infrastructure up and running and can more predictably operate a Red Hat OpenShift environment on Dell PowerFlex software-defined infrastructure”, it added.

Finally, Dell and Red Hat are co-engineer a hybrid cloud solution designed for consistent management across all IT locations.

Red Hat VP Ashesh Badani said expanding its partnership with Dell gives customers more flexibility.

“By extending our existing collaboration with Dell, we’re giving customers even more choice and flexibility in their hybrid cloud operations, pairing the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform in Red Hat OpenShift with Dell’s powerful infrastructure technologies”, he said.
