Red Hat CloudForms

Infrastructure-as-a-Service that unleashes the full potential of your business applications in your private or hybrid cloud.

Red Hat CloudForms lets you create and manage Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) private and hybrid clouds.

CloudForms redefines the IaaS cloud market by incorporating both comprehensive application lifecycle management and the ability to create integrated clouds from the broadest range of computing resources with unique portability across physical, virtual, and cloud computing resources.

CloudForms also helps organizations build on-premise solutions that leverage JBoss Enterprise Middleware to streamline and simplify application and service provisioning. It lets them evolve their middleware to incorporate attributes associated with on-premise Platform-as-a-Service clouds such as self-service provisioning. In concert with CloudForms, JBoss Operations Network, well-established for managing traditional JBoss application environments, can help organizations consistently manage their JBoss middleware and applications as they move to virtual and cloud based environments.

Red Hat CloudForms provides:

• Automation and self-service that deliver the elasticity and flexibility of cloud computing
• Comprehensive application lifecycle management that lets administrators retain the ability to control and govern their application portfolio in the cloud
• Tools and capabilities that address the key problems with first-generation cloud products: the cost and complexity of virtual server sprawl, compliance nightmares and security concerns
• Configuration and management of complex multi-tier applications, without the need to independently manage large numbers of virtual servers
• The ability to deploy, manage, and move these applications between different clouds, virtualization environments, and baremetal servers

Red Hat CloudForms is Infrastructure-as-a-Service done right. It provides users with self-service so they can deploy resources - and thereby respond to business needs - faster. It breaks down silos of capacity and thereby eliminates complexity. And it does so with advanced capabilities from high-performance scheduling and messaging to a robust security framework.
