virtualisation & cloud computing response
The release of Red Hat OpenShift Platform- as-a-Service (PaaS) environment and Red Hat CloudForms Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) allows users to deploy public, private and hybrid clouds, and delve further into application development, testing and deployment as well as lifecycle management in the cloud.
Red Hat CloudForms provides users with self-service so they can deploy resources – and thereby respond to business needs – faster. It breaks down silos of capacity and thereby eliminates complexity and does so with advanced capabilities from high performance scheduling and messaging to a robust security framework.
Red Hat OpenShift provides a choice in languages, frameworks and clouds for developers to build, test, run, and manage their applications. OpenShift can run CDI applications and plans support for Java EE 6, extending the capabilities of PaaS to even the richest and most demanding applications. OpenShift ends the lock-in of PaaS, allowing developers to choose the cloud provider upon which their application will run. Designed for the heavy demands of the cloud, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation creates a secure, scalable environment for sharing resources and for managing them simply and flexibly.

Distant sites
Adapt has announced a new enterprise Virtual Data Centre (eVDC) service which makes use of Adapt’s comprehensive portfolio of data centres to offer customers a production grade platform for the delivery of virtual servers. The new service, delivered from two physically distant sites functioning as one logical entity, offers high levels of availability with integrated second site resilience within a single solution. Performance and reliability are typically the most sought after end user attributes when outsourcing IT. However, in the search for a high speed solution that also offers the highest level of availability, many businesses end up having to compromise one for the other, or must purchase expensive additional services to satisfy the requirement for both. Adapt’s eVDC gives organisations of all sizes access to high performance with dual site synchronous data replication, delivering near continuous availability.
The eVDC also satisfies most requirements for production and disaster recovery: each customer’s infrastructure exists in two locations, allowing the instantaneous migration of service from one to another in real time, therefore eliminating the need to purchase additional disaster recovery infrastructure.
