Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the industry-leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by containers and Kubernetes. It enables a cloud-native development environment together with a cloud operations experience, giving you the ability to choose where you build, deploy, and run applications, all through a consistent interface.
OpenShift’s full-stack automated operations and self-managed clusters enable teams to adopt agile DevOps practices for building cloud-native containerized applications. They enable teams to work together more efficiently to move ideas from development to production.
Dell Technologies, together with Red Hat, delivers optimized, validated, and documented designs, with configuration and deployment guidance to help you rapidly implement Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Dell infrastructure.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is popular with organizations looking to leverage containerization and Kubernetes-based orchestration for their application deployment and management. Some of the key benefits include:
- Scalability and high availability—Applications can scale to thousands of instances across hundreds of nodes and maintain high availability through automatic load balancing and failover mechanisms.
- Flexibility—Simplifies deployment and management of a hybrid infrastructure providing the flexibility to have a self-managed or fully managed service running on-premises or in the cloud and hybrid environments.
- Container portability—Container images built on the Open Container Initiative (OCI) industry standard ensure portability between developer workstations and OpenShift environments.
- Operator framework—Simplifies complex applications management by encapsulating operational knowledge and automating application life cycle management.
