Private clouds: CloudForms

IaaS 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) public 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.

On-premises solutions with JBoss

CloudForms also helps your organization build on-premises solutions that leverage JBoss® Enterprise Middleware to streamline and simplify application and service provisioning. It lets you evolve your middleware to incorporate attributes associated with on-premises Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) clouds, such as self-service provisioning.

In concert with CloudForms, JBoss Operations Network, well established for managing traditional JBoss application environments, can help you consistently manage your JBoss middleware and applications as you 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 multitier applications without the need to independently manage large numbers of virtual servers.
  • The ability to deploy, manage, and move these applications to different clouds, virtualization environments, and bare-metal servers.

Red Hat CloudForms—IaaS done right

Red Hat CloudForms gives users self-service so they can deploy resources—and thereby respond to business needs—faster. It breaks down silos of capacity to eliminate complexity. And it does so with advanced capabilities, from high-performance scheduling and messaging to a robust security framework.
