Expands customer capabilities to deploy scalable hybrid cloud storage
Deploying Red Hat Gluster Storage on Google Cloud Platform enables customers to deploy the same storage technology on-premises and on Google Cloud Platform so users can take their existing applications with them as they move into the cloud. Traditional hardware storage solutions do not offer this level of flexibility – open, software-defined storage found in Red Hat Gluster Storage can provide the level of compatibility and agility required for hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Google Cloud Platform customers deploying Red Hat Gluster Storage can benefit from the following capabilities.
Availability for Red Hat Gluster Storage on Google Cloud Platform Google continues the companies' work to bring Red Hat solutions to Google Cloud Platform. Google joined the Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider program in November 2013. In December 2013, Red Hat announced availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux enabled for Red Hat Cloud Access on Google Compute Engine. Red Hat Cloud Access is a feature included in select Red Hat subscriptions to enable Provider. More recently, Red Hat JBoss Middleware, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Host, and Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated became available on Google Cloud Platform.
Ranga Rangachari, vice president and general manager, Storage and Big Data, Red Hat, “Storage has evolved beyond a hardware-centric approach, especially as enterprises increasingly build and deploy applications on-premises and in public and hybrid clouds. Modern applications need flexible storage solutions that can scale-out as business needs change, managing petabytes of data in a variety of environments. We are excited to expand our alliance with Google to bring even more choice to the hybrid cloud: whether on-premise or in the public cloud with Google Cloud Platform, customers can rely on their Red Hat Gluster Storage to meet growing storage needs.”
