OVH Named a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider
January 10 2017 - 9:30AM
Business Wire
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that OVH has joined the Red Hat
Certified Cloud and Service Provider (CCSP) program, offering
customers and independent software vendors (ISVs) greater
confidence from a partner ecosystem when building their
next-generation IT projects using Red Hat solutions. As a Red Hat
CCSP, OVH can use Red Hat technologies within its datacentres and
offer its customers access to more robust, flexible and open
solutions for their infrastructure projects, including hybrid and
containerized architecture.
OVH is a French enterprise providing IT services to more than
one million clients globally via its 18 datacentres located in
Europe and Canada. Its commercial activities have helped it to
become a leading hosting provider both in Europe and globally.
The certification means that Red Hat solutions will be available
across datacentres operated by OVH globally, supplemented by
top-range technical support. As a result of the certification, OVH
intends to target large businesses, for which long-term support and
a strong commitment to the associated services are important
considerations at the time of choosing a supplier. This agreement
will additionally enable OVH to develop new types of offerings,
including solutions based on bare metal, while simultaneously
providing integration with Red Hat technologies - an important
consideration for a number of clients.
Cloud provider models have expanded beyond multi-tenant public
clouds to include private cloud build-outs, Linux container-based
infrastructure and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions, and the
Red Hat CCSP program was created to offer additional flexibility to
help solution providers better meet customer needs for cloud-based
Red Hat technologies. By selecting a Red Hat CCSP, customers and
partners using custom-developed or third-party ISV applications
certified to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other Red Hat solutions
can have greater confidence that these applications will function
as expected when using them on a public cloud or managed service
provider.
Red Hat's Certified Cloud and Service Provider designation is
awarded to Red Hat partners following validation by Red Hat. Each
provider must meet testing and certification requirements to
demonstrate that they can deliver a safe, scalable, supported and
consistent environment for enterprise cloud deployments. The
globally-unified program provides customers, ISVs, and partners
with the confidence that Red Hat product experts have validated a
given solution so that implementations can begin with a solid
foundation.

“We are excited to work with OVH as a Red Hat Certified Cloud

partners that can enable users to build and deploy the best
applications possible. We look forward to continued collaboration
with OVH as they utilize their cloud offerings with Red Hat.”
