Red Hat Mobile Application Platform and
OpenShift Enterprise at core of new innovation and entrepreneurship
technology solutions center
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that Royal Bank of Scotland is
powering its new Open Experience center with Red Hat technologies,
including the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform and OpenShift
Enterprise, Red Hat's web-scale container application platform.
Open Experience is a technology solutions center launched by
Royal Bank of Scotland in February 2016 at its headquarters in
Edinburgh, U.K., to pursue innovative new technologies for the bank
and its customers. Not only a physical space, Open Experience
represents a new way of thinking to help Royal Bank of Scotland
develop innovative products and services within a framework that
promotes closer, more collaborative work between colleagues,
businesses, and customers.
The Open Experience’s team of experts is working with financial
technology companies to develop new ideas and grow them into
customer pilots, as well as searching for emerging trends and
technologies around the globe.
The Open Experience center sits alongside the bank's
Entrepreneurial Spark business accelerator hub, which includes a
'Hatchery' for early stage startups and a 'Nest' for high growth
businesses, giving the accelerator's participants access to Open
Experience’s technologies and innovations. Since it launched in
2011, the Entrepreneurial Spark accelerator has supported more than
660 businesses.
Using OpenShift, Red Hat's award-winning container-based
application platform, the bank's Open Experience developers can
more quickly develop, host, and scale applications in a cloud
environment. OpenShift’s elastic, multi-language, container and
Kubernetes-based architecture automates the provisioning,
management and scaling of applications, so developers can focus on
writing the application code for their business, startup or next
big idea. OpenShift’s support for multiple languages and
frameworks, databases and development tools, offer a lower barrier
to entry, so developers can start their project more easily and
start coding faster, using the languages and tools they already
know and prefer.
Mobile is foundational to enabling digital transformation and
innovation in the modern enterprise because of its capability to
profoundly change business models, processes, and the customer
experience. The security and integration of back-end data for
mobile apps should be of the utmost priority, and mobile
application platforms can be an integral component for efficient
development and deployment of back-end services for mobile
applications. Red Hat Mobile Application Platform provides
participants with award-winning technology designed to simplify the
development, integration, deployment, and management of mobile
solutions.
Royal Bank of Scotland anticipates expanding its relationship
with Red Hat to bring additional technologies from the open source
leader available to Open Experience in the future.
