Red Hat launches Open Hybrid Cloud for internal IT
By MYBRANDBOOK
Red Hat has launched Open Hybrid Cloud, an internal IT migration that is believed to be the standard digital hybrid architecture of the future for many enterprises. Open Hybrid Cloud’s three core components include a next-generation datacenter focused on building hybrid cloud infrastructure, a “hyperconnected” cloud-adjacent datacenter that enables low-latency data transfers with public cloud, and a hybrid cloud container platform built on Red Hat OpenShift 4.
All hypervisors have similar tools to OpenShift to migrate applications to the cloud. But Red Hat maintains that OpenShift is more open and is the best option to migrate to any cloud.
“The open part of this is we’re not locked into any proprietary [cloud] software — we are willing to extend our compute environment anywhere, whether it is Amazon, Google, Microsoft,” CIO James Palermo says. “The hybrid part is it can run in multiple environments — run it on premise or extend it to the public cloud environment in a secure manner beyond your corporate presence.”
Palermo and his team began project Open Hybrid Cloud roughly 18 months ago and recently finished the first phase. It involved shutting down four data centers in North America and consolidating the company’s internal applications in one data center on premises in Raleigh.
Several benefits came with that consolidation. Red Hat, for instance, was able to retire 150 legacy applications, about 10% to 15% of its total portfolio of applications, thus vastly reducing the company’s technical debt. Cost saving was another major benefit. The company cut down the number of server racks it maintains from about 150 across multiple data centers to between 30 and 35 racks in the single data center.
For the project’s second phase, Red Hat has employed its cash cow product, OpenShift, to abstract, containerize, and migrate many of its business-critical workloads to the AWS cloud, where roughly 75% of Red Hat’s internal applications now run, including Oracle ERP, Salesforce, and Workday, Palermo says.
