What is Platform-as-a-Service?

PaaS is a cloud application platform that automates the hosting, configuration, deployment, and administration of application stacks in an elastic cloud environment. It gives application developers self-service access so they can easily deploy applications on demand.

Public or private PaaS?

Why not both? The OpenShift platform is available in 2 different consumption models from Red Hat:

OpenShift Enterprise takes the same open source PaaS platform that powers the OpenShift Online hosted service and packages it for customers who want an on-premise or private cloud deployment.

  • Implement a private PaaS that you control and manage within the constraints of your enterprise standards.
  • Benefit from increased developer productivity, streamlined application service delivery, and an elastic, on-demand cloud platform.

OpenShift Online is Red Hat’s hosted public PaaS service, available for free in developer preview mode at openshift.redhat.com.

  • OpenShift Online runs in the public cloud.
  • Developers can currently sign up for free, check out all the great features and capabilities, and start coding and running applications on OpenShift Online today.

BENEFITS & FEATURES

Freedom of choice

Work the way you want to work

OpenShift gives you choices, including:

  • Choice of interface: web console, command line, or IDE.

  • Choice of languages and frameworks: OpenShift is polyglot and includes built-in support for Java™ (EE 6), Ruby, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Perl. This lets developers choose the most appropriate programming languages based on their own skills or the nature of the programming tasks.

  • Choice of services: JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform, Apache, Tomcat, MySQL, or Postgresql.

  • Choice of clouds: public, private, or hybrid.

  • Choice of elasticity: Scale applications automatically when you need to.

  • Choice of cloud infrastructure: Use physical servers, a virtualization platform, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service, or a public cloud provider. As long as Red Hat Enterprise Linux® instances can be configured and accessed, OpenShift Enterprise PaaS can be deployed. Giving IT the freedom to deploy it in a way that best fits within their existing infrastructure options.

Multiple interaction models

OpenShift Enterprise provides multiple interaction models with the PaaS, letting developers use a rich set of command-line tools, a powerful multidevice web console, or an Eclipse-based IDE like JBoss Developer Studio.

Strength of proven Red Hat technologies

Rely on a solid Red Hat stack

OpenShift Enterprise is built on proven, reliable Red Hat technologies, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux—trusted by thousands of organizations on millions of systems around the world for mission-critical workloads—and JBoss Enterprise Middleware.

Auto-scaling to meet changing demands

Auto-scale to meet changing demands

OpenShift’s auto-scaling function allows applications to be scaled automatically to handle increased traffic and demand on the applications.

When you deploy an application through OpenShift, you can deploy it with scaling either enabled or disabled. If you deploy your application with scaling disabled, what you deploy is what you'll have, whether it's in 1 gear or several.

Application portability

Easily movable apps

OpenShift Enterprise is built with standard language and middleware runtimes. Any application written on OpenShift Enterprise can easily be moved to another environment that supports the same languages, which prevents lock-in.

Control and collaboration

You’re in control

Built on fully open source technologies, OpenShift Enterprise lets you control your particular implementation and doesn't restrict you to the technology and business roadmap of a specific vendor. It gives you visibility into the technology on which you’re basing your business.

Innovation

Open source also lets you collaborate with other communities and companies to help drive innovation in areas that are important to you.
