Client benefits

To be successful in today’s digital world, enterprises must be able to quickly bring together application services, information, devices and people in new and innovative ways. Enterprisegrade container platforms based on industry standards such as Docker and Kubernetes are revolutionizing the way enterprise applications are deployed.

Red Hat and DXC are closely aligned to build, sell and deliver a repeatable cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that provides developers and IT organizations an agile means for deploying new applications on secure, scalable resources with minimal configuration and management overhead. We do this via our Application Transformation Factory for Red Hat, which modernizes and transforms applications to PaaS environments using Red Hat technologies.

Benefits of the Application Transformation Factory for Red Hat include:

• Access to technology expertise. DXC’s certified Red Hat platform specialists can help enterprises integrate and deploy applications on multiple public, private or hybrid clouds.
• Faster time to market. Using container technology, we accelerate application and infrastructure provisioning, which reduces the time for new projects and increases revenue opportunities for your IT and DevOps teams. 
• Improved service performance. Containerization means developing new applications faster, with higher reliability and better performance. It also results in fewer errors, increased scalability and improved services in areas such as DevOps and business operations.
• Managed services. DXC provides a wide range of managed application services to operate complex business solutions on a large scale. Using the latest Red Hat technologies, these services are architected for enterprise-grade high availability, and include automating application builds, testing, deployment, patching and performance reporting.
