Alibaba Cloud is now part of the Red Hat Certified Cloud and
Service Provider program, joining a group of technology industry
leaders who offer Red Hat-tested and validated solutions that
extend the functionality of Red Hat's broad portfolio of open
source cloud solutions. The partnership extends the reach of Red
Hat’s offerings across the top public clouds globally, providing a
scalable destination for cloud computing and reiterating Red Hat’s
commitment to providing greater choice in the cloud.
In the coming months, Red Hat solutions will be available
directly to Alibaba Cloud customers, enabling them to take
advantage of the full value of Red Hat’s broad portfolio of open
source cloud solutions. Alibaba Cloud intends to offer Red Hat
Enterprise Linux in a pay-as-you-go model in the Alibaba Cloud
Marketplace.
By joining the Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider
program, Alibaba Cloud has signified that it is a destination for
Red Hat customers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and partners
to enable them to benefit from Red Hat offerings in public clouds.
These will be provided under innovative consumption and service
models with the greater confidence that Red Hat product experts
have validated the solutions. Launched in 2009, the Red Hat
Certified Cloud and Service Provider Program is designed to
assemble the solutions cloud providers need to plan, build, manage
and offer hosted cloud solutions and Red Hat technologies to
customers. The Certified Cloud Provider designation is awarded to
Red Hat partners following validation by Red Hat. Each provider
meets testing and certification requirements to demonstrate that
they can deliver a safe, scalable, supported and consistent
environment for enterprise cloud deployments.
In addition, in the coming months, Red Hat customers will be
able to move eligible, unused Red Hat subscriptions from their
datacenter to Alibaba Cloud, China’s largest public cloud service
provider, using Red Hat Cloud Access. Red Hat Cloud Access is an
innovative "bring-your-own-subscription" benefit available from
select Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Providers that enables
customers to move eligible Red Hat subscriptions from on-premise to
public clouds. Red Hat Cloud Access also enables customers to
maintain a direct relationship with Red Hat - including the ability
to receive full support from Red Hat's award-winning Global Support
Services organization, enabling customers to maintain a consistent
level of service across certified hybrid deployment
infrastructures.
