Open source solutions provider Red Hat has announced the business model and pricing plans for its OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. The company in a release said it will provide support to companies in application development and deployment.
OpenShift PaaS, which has been available as a free service since May 2011, delivers a cloud application platform to developers. Developers get a choice of programming languages, frameworks and application lifecycle tools to build their applications, said the company.
Commenting on OpenShift, Mr Brian Stevens, Chief Technology Officer and Vice-President, Worldwide Engineering, Red Hat said, “Over the past year, since we debuted OpenShift, we’ve seen the power of an open, flexible PaaS for developers. We’ve made major progress over this year with the addition of new programming languages, the release of the open source project OpenShift Origin and plans for our enterprise PaaS offering.”
