We use to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications in a IBM cloud environment. Using Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud leverages our ability to start very quickly any containerized application developed with diferente languages, as here we use python, node, javascript and NEXT. We can take advantage of Built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools, as well, security features, such as network policies and secret management. And its possible to use various databases and data stores.
  • Support for multiple programming languages and frameworks
  • Automated deployment and scaling of applications
  • Security features
  • Support for various databases and data stores
  • Support for monitoring and logging
  • Could generate yaml files automatic
  • Plugin for VS

We use Red Hat OpenShift as the primary platform for our applications. The platform hosts around 3000 applications for our company, spread across millions of pods. Given that it's the primary platform for hosting our applications for developers as well as actual business users, the revenue source is both, direct and otherwise
  • Multiclick provisioning of resources makes it super easy to manage pods and deployments. We don't have to maintain code for the same
  • In built security features and customizability ensures that organization wide standards are integrated well into the containers
  • Automated backups, scale ups and fail recovery makes sure of minimal down time
  • Multi cloud support and migration often requires support of cloud teams, and is not entirely automated
  • Often run into common issues like cache clearance of pods, which is an activity we have to do manually, often multiple times a day
  • The UI can be made more intuitive and user friendly
OpenShift on IC is most recommended for enterprise level applications where failure recovery and uptime is critical, with minimal manual intervention, to ensure least downtime. However, it can be a bit of an overkill for disjoint, standalone applications which can be spun up and down manually

We created a POC last year using RedHat OpenShift in the IBM CLoud. IBM MQ, IBM App Connect Enterpriser and IBM WAS were all implemented in containers. This was to provide a uniform, consolidated, fully monitored, reliable platform for integrations, messaging and WAS applications. We demonstrated this POC in a company wide Hackathon for IT.
  • Provides monitoring ACE, MQ, WAS
  • Provides containerization to faciliate the maximum utilization of resources (cpu, memory, etc.), provides multiple versions of applications running in containers, isolates rogue applications
  • eliminates many administrative tasks
  • provides high availability
  • utilizes storage efficiently
  • easy to use, provides a well formatted interface, well documented, easy to install
  • provides connectors to current database levels
  • easy to configure security and keep track of certificates
  • modernizes antiquated architecture
  • AI for creating connectors "on-the-fly" instead of waiting for a new connector to become available
RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

  • It was very positive that RedHat OpenShift could run on any cloud platform. Our business objective is to move to the cloud and this software fits every bullet point.
  • With OpenShift we can keep our existing applications (over 250) and quickly move them into containers and into the cloud environment with little modifications at all.
I prefer RedHat OpenShift because with kubernetes there are tons more installations and work effort required to get applications ready to run in the containerized environment. RedHat OpenShift is faster and easier to get up and running.
  • IBM API Connect
  • IBM MQ on Cloud
Using IBM portfolio of products together we are able to create an ESB environment to process 1/2 billion transactions monthly. We other companies I have been up all night handling issues in Production. At CDW because of the reliability and stability of the IBM products we very rarely get calls in the middle of the night. The systems run smoothly and without issues.

Utilizing OpenShift to bridge apps over AWS & Azure & the integration enables existing us to explore the usage of OpenShift & take advantage of the benefits offered by the platform. The integration will be further enhanced in future OpenShift releases to support more features of OpenShift and enable more capabilities of the underlying infrastructure. So far, the added one more layer has made the apps swap between AWS/Azure possible, but not perfect yet.

  • ROI in 12 months.
Planning to do so late. The evaluation for more vendors is in the cooking, pending budget approval & assignment to the right top guns. With the recession looming, I do wish that this key project could get approved & more discoveries could be made soon as I wished before.
