Red Hat Cloud Suite brings scalability,
automation and enterprise-grade Kubernetes to bear for U.S. Air
Force technology migration
OpenStack Summit Sydney 2017 – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT),
the world's leading provider of open source solutions, is today
announcing that Radiance Technologies, Inc., an employee owned
small business offering a variety of services and products for
government and commercial customers, has deployed a tailored
solution on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD) using Red Hat
Cloud Suite, Red Hat’s hybrid cloud offering that enables
organizations to more easily build and manage cloud-native
applications through a single platform.
A DoD contractor since 1999, Radiance received a new task order
to help migrate a U.S. Air Force organization from its current
network architecture to a scalable cloud infrastructure. To do
this, Radiance needed a solution with an agile, automated framework
and storage architecture that could handle a large volume of
virtual machines (VMs). Additionally, Radiance had only 90 days to
provision and deploy this new solution from scratch. After
reviewing competitive cloud solutions, Radiance selected Red Hat
Cloud Suite, as it is designed to provide an end-to-end,
deployment-ready offering for enterprise digital
transformation.
This customer’s mission demanded a rapidly scalable architecture
that is both dynamic and resilient; dynamic in that it must be able
to handle hundreds of robust VMs, and resilient in that it must be
capable of rapid automated redeployment, if required. To add to the
complexity, because of the organization’s specific security
requirements, this environment must be able to operate in a
complete stand-alone mode. To meet these needs, Radiance, supported
by Red Hat, used many of the technologies comprising Red Hat Cloud
Suite, including:
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform,
supported by Red Hat Ceph Storage, to enable a massively
scalable, highly agile private cloud infrastructure along with
enabling rapid provisioning of virtual machines. Red Hat OpenStack
Platform also features composable roles. Composable roles helps IT
administrators tailor where each service, such as compute,
networking, or storage, should run, which is designed to improve
resource scalability and make it easier to manage individual
services.
- Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform, Red Hat’s enterprise-grade Kubernetes-based container
application platform, helps Radiance to containerize new
applications while supporting existing workloads.
- Red Hat CloudForms, Red Hat’s
multi-cloud management platform, enables policy controlled
management and automation of IT services. The platform allows IT
operations teams to detect and respond to environment changes by
tracking activities, capturing events and detecting configuration
changes, as well as provides the ability to monitor utilization and
capacity for governance and compliance enforcement.
- Red Hat Ansible Tower, in
addition to Red Hat Cloud Suite, provides automation and automation
governance capabilities, including VM configuration, management and
provisioning, for complex multi-tier deployments.
With the technology requirements and turnaround time, Red Hat
Consulting also assisted Radiance, tailoring this particular build
and environment to the unique needs of the DoD. Red Hat Consulting
also assisted in the knowledge transfer and training, helping
Radiance to plan, build and deploy the solution designed to meet
the DoD’s needs.
Supporting Quotes
Paul Smith, senior vice president and general manager, U.S.
Public Sector, Red Hat“Given the breadth and complexity often
involved in defense IT, the capability to more easily build
cloud-native applications, deploy them and manage these workloads
in a single platform can be important. Red Hat Cloud Suite is
designed to provide the technologies to drive transformation in a
ready-to-deploy solution that can fit specific infrastructure
needs. We’re proud to have collaborated with Radiance on a solution
that not only helps to better equip a U.S. Air Force organization,
but also provides the Department of Defense with a flexible,
scalable and powerful set of tools to develop their own digital
services and cloud-native applications internally.”
Timothy Autry, assistant vice president, Cyber Engineering
Operations, Radiance Technologies, Inc.“Radiance needed a partner
that could rapidly respond to our Air Force customer’s robust cloud
requirement. Other companies we spoke with were simply unable to
meet our needs. Red Hat not only stepped up to the challenge, but
also consistently brought their ‘A Team’ week after week throughout
the entire engagement. Red Hat made me feel like making my customer
happy was as important to them as it was to me -- and that level of
sustained commitment is hard to find these days.”
