CloudForms

Open hybrid cloud solutions

Considering an enterprise cloud solution? It's the most important IT decision you'll make in the next 10 years. Make sure you're well-informed.

Cloud computing makes IT more flexible and responsive to your business needs by offering fast self-service access to IT resources. But self-service is easy. The hard part is maintaining control over these systems at the same time.

The flexibility of the cloud, the business controls you need

Red Hat® CloudForms does just that by merging the cloud's speed and simplicity with the controls your business needs. Our open hybrid cloud-management framework lets you build a hybrid cloud that spans your entire infrastructure while managing your cloud applications—without vendor lock-in.

Why CloudForms?

CloudForms lets your organization:

  • Give users self-service.
  • Keep IT controlled and governed.
  • Build and manage an open hybrid cloud that gives you the maximum freedom and choice.
  • Build and manage applications across the full range of workload types.

CloudForms gives you the unique ability to:

  • Deploy and manage applications to multiple locations and infrastructure types based on a single application template and policy—maximizing flexibility while simplifying management.
  • Easily integrate tools and software from a variety of vendors for access to the widest range of technologies.
  • Avoid vendor lock-in now and in the future by using open source technology and open standards.
