Accelerate application delivery by improving developer agility and increasing infrastructure and operational efficiency.
To remain relevant and competitive in fast-moving markets, organizations are looking to digitally transform. The digital revolution has shifted the focus to high-value innovation that increases flexibility and speed to market. Organizations want to deliver services quickly, update them in short development cycles, and scale them in production efficiently, reliably and securely.
Transform application deployment models by shifting processes to a secure, container-based approach that can be implemented across multiple clouds.
Digital transformation
Making digital transformation a reality requires a change in approach and processes. Businesses are moving away from old, monolithic systems to faster, more scalable and intuitive technologies. Approaches such as containerization are seen as key enablers to reduce business and IT complexity and speed delivery of new services. The container market is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2020.
To meet this need, DXC Technology — in partnership with container technology leader Red Hat®, part of the DXC Partner Network — has developed a fully managed OpenShift platform.
DXC Managed Container PaaS powered by Red Hat OpenShift is a fully managed container platform designed for enterprise clients looking to make digital transformation a reality.
Supported by DXC’s industry-leading automation and CloudOps, the service scales quickly to address changing business needs. The service transforms application deployment models by shifting processes to a secure, container-based approach that can be implemented across multiple clouds. High-value business outcomes Red Hat OpenShift unites application development and operations teams onto a single platform to build, deploy and manage applications.
Continuous integration, increased agility and shorter development life cycles accelerate application deployments and drives greater business value and lowers operating costs.
According to an IDC study on the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift, businesses sped up the application delivery and major feature releases by an average of 66 percent.
Shorter application life cycles
Shorter application life cycles free up developers to improve applications and ultimately the user experience, doubling user adoption rates. The IDC study reported that OpenShift cuts average development time by 35 percent, and software requires less time to debug. Reduce annual infrastructure and development costs. Increase your ROI and shorten the payback cycle with higher staff productivity and platform-related cost efficiencies. IDC projects that infrastructure and application development costs can be reduced by 38 percent per application per year.
