As a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service
Provider, Alibaba Cloud now offers Red Hat Enterprise Linux in its
Marketplace
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, today
announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enterprise open source
operating system developed by the world’s leading open source
solutions provider Red Hat, is now available globally in the
Alibaba Cloud Marketplace on a pay-as-you-go basis, bringing more
choice and flexibility to customers of both Alibaba Cloud and Red
Hat globally.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a stable foundation for
modernizing IT infrastructure, on which enterprises and developers
can roll out new applications, virtualize environments and create a
hybrid cloud to deploy Red Hat’s certified open source solutions.
Users can also customize their versions with add-on functionality
from Alibaba, including desktop options and developer tools.
Alibaba Cloud and Red Hat entered into a collaboration to
leverage each other’s infrastructure and solutions in October 2017.
Since then, Alibaba Cloud has completed the certification process
to officially become a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service
Provider. Being certified means that Alibaba Cloud is recognized as
a provider that can offer a safer, scalable, supported and
consistent environment for enterprise cloud deployments, as well as
Red Hat-tested and validated open source solutions.
Customers of Alibaba Cloud and Red Hat, along with independent
software vendors (ISVs) and developers across the globe, can
benefit from this collaboration in the following ways:
- Gaining access to reliable and flexible
Red Hat Enterprise Linux at a trusted destination;
- Having greater confidence that their IT
implementations on cloud begin with a solid foundation;
- Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux
on-demand, paying only for what they use, when they need it
Yeming Wang, General Manager of Alibaba Cloud Europe said:
“Alibaba Cloud is excited to offer Red Hat Enterprise Linux on our
marketplace globally, as this is a recognition of Alibaba Cloud’s
capability to provide a more secure, scalable, and stable
environment to modernize businesses. By working with Red Hat, we
can provide our customers with a powerful and reliable platform
capable of deploying cloud architectures to support the current and
future business demands of digital transformation for
enterprises.”
Mike Ferris, vice president, Technical Business Development and
Business Architecture, Red Hat said: “With Alibaba Cloud’s global
reach, having Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace
offers customers greater flexibility in the hybrid cloud. At the
heart of our business is the desire and commitment to provide a
greater choice of solutions in the cloud. Working with one of the
world’s leading public cloud services providers helps us take
