Red Hat® OpenShift® with Kubernetes Container

Supermicro Solution for Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform

Designed for Reliable Large-Scale Cloud Deployments

With ever-growing competition, enterprises have to accelerate their product development cycle to keep up with
new technologies and stay ahead. Businesses need to regularly release customized applications for instant
and growing demand from external and internal users who rely on digital transformation to gain competitiveness.

The Supermicro and Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform solution offers integrated hardware, software
and support packages built with Kubernetes which provide agile deployment and management of containers
in an on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud environment.

The modern enterprise needs to build, deploy, and manage container-based applications consistently across
cloud and on-premise infrastructures with speed and agility. Effective DevOps strategy becomes a key element
for organizations to succeed in the digital transformation journey.

Red Hat OpenShift

Red Hat® OpenShift® is a complete container application platform that natively integrates technologies including
Docker and Kubernetes – a powerful container cluster management and orchestration system – and includes an
enterprise foundation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux®.

The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform offers enterprises full control over their Kubernetes environments.
It handles cloud-native and traditional applications on a single platform. The platform has built-in security from
infrastructure to services, throughout the operations and application lifecycle.
