Red Hat, the world\u2019s leading provider of enterprise open source solutions and Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, recently hosted an alignment event in Riyadh in September on the back of the strategic partnership between the two companies announced in July this year. The event, which was attended by sales, channel, systems engineers and leadership teams from both companies, reiterated the commitment to help organizations in Saudi on their cloud journey by delivering a powerful solution for building, scaling and managing cloud-native applications on-premises and in hybrid clouds. The collaboration brings together industry-leading technologies, enabling installation, interoperability and management of Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Nutanix Cloud Platform, including Nutanix AOS and AHV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mohammad Abulhouf, Senior Sales Director KSA\nand Bahrain at Nutanix says, \u201cHybrid cloud strategies are evolving faster than\never across every industry in Saudi. Organizations count on flexibility and\nfreedom of choice to build, run, and manage applications at scale. They demand\nbetter interoperability and support from leading cloud technology companies\nlike Nutanix and Red Hat. Many organizations seek to run Red Hat Enterprise\nLinux and Red Hat OpenShift with the Nutanix Cloud Platform, in a certified\nenvironment. Our two companies have listened to the market and now provide a\nsolution for open hybrid clouds, where customers have choice and flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe\nalignment between Nutanix and Red Hat is set on a very clear strategy of\nhelping our customers in Saudi bridge the gap between private clouds and public\nclouds and build the right hybrid cloud model, which is the targeted model for\nmost of our Saudi customers for the next five years,\u201d he says.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is substantial value in store for\njoint customers, beginning with the certification of Nutanix Cloud Platform\nincluding Nutanix\u2019s built-in hypervisor, AHV\u00ae, for Red Hat\u00ae Enterprise Linux\nand for Red Hat OpenShift\u00ae. AHV is enterprise-proven and trusted by many large\nenterprises, including many Fortune 500 customers, to support their most\ndemanding tier-1 workloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enterprise customers demand RHEL and\nOpenShift to support their workloads, along with the Nutanix Cloud Platform\n(based on AOS infrastructure and AHV\u00ae hypervisor) to provide resilient and\nscalable datacenter infrastructure. Together, these solutions comprise a\nbest-in-class, simplified full-stack solution for virtualized and cloud native\napplications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ali Al Shammi, Country Manager, KSA and\nBahrain, Red Hat, added: \u201cAs Saudi Arabian enterprises look to the future and\nprepare to operate in digitally-evolving business climates, successful cloud\nmigration will be integral for continuity, practicality, and sustainability. As\nsuch, Red Hat was proud to collaborate with Nutanix as part of a unified effort\nto ensure as many enterprises as possible can develop and integrate\ncloud-native, multi-environment applications that align with their respective\nvisions. The provision of empowering technologies to enterprise communities has\nalways been a topmost priority for Red Hat, and the latest step forward in this\ndirection was made at the recent event in Riyadh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consistent with customers\u2019 expectations, the\ncertification is backed by joint customer support. Customers in need of any\ntechnical support will be able to benefit from the combined expertise of the\nRed Hat and Nutanix global support teams working together and will be able to\nreach out to either team for initial support. The shared vision for supporting\nmutual customers goes beyond pre-sales and post-sales engagements. Red Hat and\nNutanix, through joint engineering efforts, roadmap reviews and product\nplanning, will focus on interoperability that delivers additional customer\nvalue for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift running on the Nutanix\nCloud Platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enterprises considering the Nutanix Cloud\nPlatform for the foundation of their on-prem OpenShift deployment, can test\ndrive the solution. The Nutanix Test Drive offers hands-on experience with the\ntools needed to build the cloud\u2014infrastructure, operations, data, apps, DR, and\nmore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
