At the Amazon Web Services Re:Invent conference Tuesday Red Hat rolled out OpenShift Enterprise, the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) designed to be installed on-premise in customer data centers or on private, public or hybrid clouds that it announced in May.
Since it launched the thing at Re:Invent one might logically deduce that Red Hat will host the widgetry on Amazon’s EC2.
The product is bound to compete with VMware’s open source Cloud Foundry and its Spring framework if for no other reason than Red Hat loathes VMware and regards it as its biggest enemy, someone to crush.
Anyway, it’s Red Hat’s latest step in delivering its PaaS strategy and is supposed to be the industry’s first comprehensive open on-premise PaaS for the enterprise.
