Red Hat and Microsoft simplify
containers for the enterprise
The new additions to the firms’ joint roadmap will simplify container technologies to help
enterprise customers increase agility and drive digital transformation using hybrid cloud.
Microsoft and Red Hat have
announced an expansion of
the two companies’ alliance
with new initiatives aimed at
enabling enterprises to more
easily adopt containers. This
includes native support for
Windows Server containers on
Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform, Red Hat OpenShift
Dedicated on Microsoft
Azure, and SQL Server on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
OpenShift. These additions to
the companies’ joint roadmap
will simplify container
technologies to help enterprise
customers increase agility and
drive digital transformation
using hybrid cloud.
Both firms will extend the
integrated, co-located Microsoft
and Red Hat support to enable
these new offerings across
platforms. This helps to assure
IT organizations that whatever
challenges they face on their
path to digital transformation,
Microsoft and Red Hat will stand
by them together.
Enterprises see the benefit in
using containerized applications
to run their mission-critical
applications, but most IT
organizations are not standardized
on a single infrastructure
stack. These heterogeneous
environments often carry both
Windows and Linux platforms,
siloing applications and making
it difficult for a business to adopt
DevOps practices.
This announcement simplifies
these challenges, as Windows
Server containers will be
natively supported on Red Hat
OpenShift, a container application
platform that brings Docker and
Kubernetes to the enterprise.
Red Hat OpenShift will be
the first container application
platform built from the open
source Kubernetes project to
support both Linux and Windows
Server container workloads in a
single platform across the multiple
environments of the hybrid cloud,
breaking down silos and making
it easier for enterprises to pursue
their cloud-native agenda.
This capability was
demonstrated at Red Hat Summit
in May 2017, and is expected to be
available as a technology preview
in Spring 2018.
Matthew Hicks, Vice President,
Software Engineering, OpenShift
and Management, Red Hat, said,
“Alongside Microsoft, Red Hat is
providing a way for organizations
to truly make the technology
choices that matter to them, from
containerized workloads to public
cloud services, without adding
an equal burden of complexity.
Combined with our integrated
support teams, we’re able to offer
an achievable pathway to digital
transformation that offers the
capabilities, flexibility and choice
required to power the future of
enterprise IT.”

Hyperconverged
solutions are the
next stage in the
path towards
software-defined
infrastructure.
The
hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI) market is growing
exponentially in the Middle East. Large
enterprises as well as small and medium
businesses who were investing huge
amounts on standalone technologies or
converged platforms are now seeking
hyperconverged ones. This is because
these are affordable and smoother
to deploy, allowing customers the
capability to go live in a short time.
Understanding the benefits of these
technologies, regional customers have
hosted tier 2 applications and services
on hyperconverged platforms. Some
customers with All Flash capability have
even deployed tier 1 applications as well.
Pivot3, the technology leader in
HCI have announced the release of
Acuity, the industry’s first priority
- aware HCI software platform.
It empowers IT to confidently
consolidate multiple mixed application
workloads onto a single infrastructure
by delivering breakthrough
performance. Other features such
as Pivot3 Patented Data Protection
with Scalar erasure coding, simplified
management, highly granular
quality of service, distributed scale
out architecture, efficient operating
environment and wide range of
deployment options make the offering
a unique one.
Our channel partners have access to
customers’ HCI demands and Pivot3’s
Acuity presents a great opportunity.
They should also examine other
potential prospects such as server tech
refresh, data center virtualization, DR
setup and backup environment for
virtual platforms.
At Redington Value, we are always
taking the upper hand in enabling our
channel community. Our skilled sales
and technical teams have committed to
spread the message of Pivot3 – Acuity,
with the touch and feel experiences
they have built in our REDVault. Our
in-house discovery mechanism has
helped channel partners to find the next
opportunity. We invite all our partners
be part of this profitable journey.

  • 3. Red Hat and Microsoft simplify containers for the enterprise The new additions to the firms’ joint roadmap will simplify container technologies to help enterprise customers increase agility and drive digital transformation using hybrid cloud. Microsoft and Red Hat have announced an expansion of the two companies’ alliance with new initiatives aimed at enabling enterprises to more easily adopt containers. This includes native support for Windows Server containers on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Microsoft Azure, and SQL Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift. These additions to the companies’ joint roadmap will simplify container technologies to help enterprise customers increase agility and drive digital transformation using hybrid cloud. Both firms will extend the integrated, co-located Microsoft and Red Hat support to enable these new offerings across platforms. This helps to assure IT organizations that whatever challenges they face on their path to digital transformation, Microsoft and Red Hat will stand by them together. Enterprises see the benefit in using containerized applications to run their mission-critical applications, but most IT organizations are not standardized on a single infrastructure stack. These heterogeneous environments often carry both Windows and Linux platforms, siloing applications and making it difficult for a business to adopt DevOps practices. This announcement simplifies these challenges, as Windows Server containers will be natively supported on Red Hat OpenShift, a container application platform that brings Docker and Kubernetes to the enterprise. Red Hat OpenShift will be the first container application platform built from the open source Kubernetes project to support both Linux and Windows Server container workloads in a single platform across the multiple environments of the hybrid cloud, breaking down silos and making it easier for enterprises to pursue their cloud-native agenda. This capability was demonstrated at Red Hat Summit in May 2017, and is expected to be available as a technology preview in Spring 2018. Matthew Hicks, Vice President, Software Engineering, OpenShift and Management, Red Hat, said, “Alongside Microsoft, Red Hat is providing a way for organizations to truly make the technology choices that matter to them, from containerized workloads to public cloud services, without adding an equal burden of complexity. Combined with our integrated support teams, we’re able to offer an achievable pathway to digital transformation that offers the capabilities, flexibility and choice required to power the future of enterprise IT.” From page 1From page 1 Huawei...Oracle... 3 Hyperconverged solutions are the next stage in the path towards software-defined infrastructure. The hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market is growing exponentially in the Middle East. Large enterprises as well as small and medium businesses who were investing huge amounts on standalone technologies or converged platforms are now seeking hyperconverged ones. This is because these are affordable and smoother to deploy, allowing customers the capability to go live in a short time. Understanding the benefits of these technologies, regional customers have hosted tier 2 applications and services on hyperconverged platforms. Some customers with All Flash capability have even deployed tier 1 applications as well. Pivot3, the technology leader in HCI have announced the release of Acuity, the industry’s first priority - aware HCI software platform. It empowers IT to confidently consolidate multiple mixed application workloads onto a single infrastructure by delivering breakthrough performance. Other features such as Pivot3 Patented Data Protection with Scalar erasure coding, simplified management, highly granular quality of service, distributed scale out architecture, efficient operating environment and wide range of deployment options make the offering a unique one. Our channel partners have access to customers’ HCI demands and Pivot3’s Acuity presents a great opportunity. They should also examine other potential prospects such as server tech refresh, data center virtualization, DR setup and backup environment for virtual platforms. At Redington Value, we are always taking the upper hand in enabling our channel community. Our skilled sales and technical teams have committed to spread the message of Pivot3 – Acuity, with the touch and feel experiences they have built in our REDVault. Our in-house discovery mechanism has helped channel partners to find the next opportunity. We invite all our partners be part of this profitable journey. Age of convergence By Dharshana K, General Manager VCG, Redington Gulf – Value Distribution COLUMN: REDefined applications such as those utilizing real-time targeting, analytics, or personalization now run in the cloud with extreme performance. According to the firm, only Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers: self- provisioning of multiple bare metal servers in less than five minutes with each supporting over 4 million IOPS, block storage that linearly scales by 60 IOPS per GB, and which will allow them to offer comprehensive solutions to their customers. Huawei executives also presented on how the partners could overcome the challenges that might arise while transacting in the digital era. In the third phase of the roadshow, partners can look forward to sessions in Jordan and Lebanon next month.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the launch of Amazon Macie, a new security service that uses machine learning to help customers prevent data loss by automatically discovering, classifying, and protecting sensitive data in AWS. Amazon Macie recognizes sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII) or intellectual property, and provides customers with dashboards and alerts that give visibility into how this data is being accessed or moved. The fully managed service continuously monitors data access activity for anomalies, and generates detailed alerts when it detects risk of unauthorized access or inadvertent data leaks. It is available to protect data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), with support for additional AWS data stores coming later this year. Customers can enable Amazon Macie from the AWS Management Console, and pay Stephen Schmidt, Amazon Web Services only for the GBs of Amazon S3 content classified and the AWS CloudTrail events analyzed, with no upfront costs or software purchases required. “When a customer has a significant amount of content stored in Amazon S3, identifying and classifying all of the potentially sensitive data can feel a bit like finding needles in a very large haystack — especially with monitoring tools that aren’t smart enough to effectively automate what is now a very manual process,” said Stephen Schmidt, CISO, Amazon Web Services. “Amazon Macie approaches information security in a more intelligent way. By using machine learning to understand the content and user behavior of each organization, it can cut through huge volumes of data with better visibility and more accurate alerts, allowing customers to focus on securing their sensitive information instead of wasting time trying to find it.” 9 For more information, please write to sales.value@redingtonmea.com
