Industry Use cases of Openshift

• Openshift is the container platform that works with Kubernetes to help applications run more efficiently. OpenShift has a built-in Kubernetes platform, which makes the installation process easier, but limited to Red Hat Linux distributions. At its core, OpenShift is a cloud-based Kubernetes container platform that’s considered both containerization software and a platform-as-a-service (PaaS). It’s also partly built on Docker, another popular containerization platform. OpenShift offers consistent security, built-in monitoring, centralized policy management, and compatibility with Kubernetes container workloads. It’s fast, enables self-service provisioning, and integrates with a variety of tools.

Features of Openshift

• Scalability
• Open Source Standard
• Flexibility
• Container probability
• Enhanced Developer experience
• Automated installation and upgrades
• Edge architecture support
• Multi cluster management
• Advanced Security and compliance

Red Hat OpenShift delivers a complete application platform for both traditional and cloud-native applications, allowing them to run anywhere. Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat OpenShift enables automation inside and outside your Kubernetes clusters.

Companies using Openshift

TATA MOTORS

Tata Motors Limited (TML) is a leading global manufacturer of cars, utility vehicles, pick-ups, trucks, and buses. Realizing its system of record (SOR) could not keep up with growing expectations of digital solutions, it turned to Red Hat to lay a foundation for improved processes and agile delivery of new services.

Part of the USD 113 billion Tata Group, Tata Motors is the largest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in India to offer a broad range of integrated, smart, and electric solutions. Red Hat supports Tata’s operations in India, the UK, South Korea, Thailand, South Africa, and Indonesia, through 103 subsidiaries, ten associate companies, and three joint ventures.

Challenges:-

Tata Motors is India’s largest automobile manufacturer, and the primary architect of the country’s commercial vehicle industry. It produces passenger and sports cars, commercial trucks, vans, coaches, buses, construction equipment, and military vehicles. They strive to incorporate power, performance, and comfort into all of their vehicles while managing costs.

Few would doubt the benefits of adopting digital solutions, but as expectations around its digital business grew, Tata realized that its system of record wasn’t up to the task. The business had to develop an agile integration platform using application programming interfaces (APIs) to exchange data with other apps and interface with the SOR to create better services, improve revenues, and uphold its mission.

Their first task was to streamline the process of onboarding dealers, partners, and mobility aggregators. Tata’s current dealer management system managed over 1,000 dealers but was proprietary and extremely expensive. It needed a platform that would unite the internal and external systems of all of Tata’s stakeholders, which it could then extend to its connected vehicle project and deploy more widely to other IoT use cases.

Solution:-

Tata laid the groundwork for improved processes and agile delivery of new services using Red Hat® OpenShift®, Red Hat 3scale API Management, Red Hat Fuse, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat AMQ. The immediate benefits went beyond retiring Tata’s expensive, proprietary dealer management system.

The new open source, container-ready architecture enabled complex integration patterns. Testing and deployment of the service was greatly reduced by the out-of-the-box functionality that eliminated the need for complex add-ons that could have delayed time to market.

The automobile manufacturer is now able to provide APIs for its various digital applications, making integration easier. Red Hat’s hybrid architecture support also gives Tata the flexibility of moving into the cloud with public providers such as Microsoft or AWS. This helps provide the advanced telematics and connected-car solutions that their customers demand.

Macquarie

Challenge: Offer smarter digital banking to customers

To develop its new digital banking offering, Macquarie looked beyond financial services to the customer experiences provided by modern digital service companies. “We’re a digital-first business, and therefore our offering has to be the best it possibly can be,” said Richard Heeley, head of technology for Macquarie’s Banking and Financial Services Group. “We knew we had to transform it. We wanted to make it a fast, efficient, and optimal experience.”

Solution: Modernize IT using the cloud

For its digital transformation, Macquarie evaluated several Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions before choosing to deploy Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform as a public cloud implementation in a datacenter run by Amazon Web Services (AWS). “[The solution] provides the flexibility to move our monolithic applications and services, as well as our modern microservices, to the cloud,” said Rajay Rai, head of digital engineering at Macquarie’s Banking and Financial Services Group. In just a few months, Macquarie migrated more than 60 business applications and 150 services to its new solution.

Results: Improve developer and customer experience

With software release time cut from hours to minutes, Macquarie can release software multiple times a day. Customers can now easily manage all aspects of their finances in one place. Macquarie’s DevOps approach allows developers to focus on innovation and asset delivery, rather than routine tasks, improving developer productivity by more than 50%. “Red Hat technology has helped us to work in a more efficient way, with speed and agility as the biggest outcomes,” said Luis Uguina, chief digital officer at Macquarie’s Banking and Financial Services Group. “By continually using the platform, we expect huge benefits over the coming months and years. We’re just at the beginning of the journey.”
