Red Hat recently announced its acquisition of Makara, a
developer of deployment and management solutions for applications
in the cloud. The acquisition will help accelerate the development
of Red Hat's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions as part of its
Cloud Foundations portfolio.
Makara provides solutions to enable organizations to deploy,
manage, monitor and scale their applications on both private and
public clouds. By integrating the JBoss Enterprise Middleware
infrastructure with the company’s Cloud Application Platform,
Red Hat aims to offer a more comprehensive PaaS solution that will
allow organizations to quickly transition their applications to
both public and private clouds with minimal modifications.
“Cloud Foundations is about enabling customers and
developers to have an easy on-ramp to the cloud. With the addition
of Makara, we aim to further simplify application deployment and
management,” said Paul Cormier, president of Products and
Technologies at Red Hat. “We welcome the Makara team and look
forward to accelerating our delivery of PaaS solutions to the
market.”
The company plans to make Red Hat PaaS available as software
offered as a service in public or private clouds to help developers
and organizations build, deploy and manage the entire life cycle of
applications. Makara's tools, technologies and solutions will be
fully integrated with Red Hat PaaS, as part of the Cloud
Foundations portfolio.
