Adopt, Deploy, and Accelerate Container Application Delivery With Brochure Adopt, deploy, and accelerate container application delivery Red Hat OpenShift powered by HPE Synergy Brochure Page 2 A production-ready OpenShift Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Container Platform, ready to scale HPE Synergy deploys in hours and brings immediate value to your business. Containers still rule the day Containers have revolutionized software development processes, largely because of their portability, scalability, and inherent security. Unlike virtual machines (VMs), containers do not load operating system (OS) files and kernels, so a containerized app is much more lightweight than its VM equivalent. Apps start faster, use less memory, and consume less storage in containers than in VMs. The requirements to support a container strategy vary across lines of business, and unique characteristics need to be accounted for to ensure adoption and to avoid sprawl and multiple implementations that would need to be managed individually. Software companies are seeking optimal ways to implement containerized infrastructures to gain a competitive edge and cut production and development costs. But implementing a containerized environment across existing infrastructure has been a complex undertaking that can require weeks or months to mobilize, particularly for enterprises. Until now. Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy is a complete out-of-the-box container solution that deploys in hours and brings immediate value to your business. HPE’s goals for you are simple: faster time to application service delivery, and lowering the costs and challenges of adopting the latest container strategies. To achieve that, we need to work with you to identify the right infrastructure architecture, platform, and implementation of your container strategy. Brochure Page 3 Why HPE Synergy for containers HPE Synergy provides the flexible infrastructure you need to incorporate container services into DevOps, host existing applications, add new microservices, and modernize legacy applications. HPE Synergy enables you to dynamically provision and scale applications, whether they run in VMs or containers, or are hosted on-premises, in the cloud, or somewhere in between. HPE Synergy works in conjunction with Red Hat Ansible Tower to automate setup processes and quickly create an operational infrastructure for containerized applications. From the moment the system is powered on, HPE Synergy composable infrastructure gives you agile scaling and provisioning of resources to support any application. Brochure Page 4 Respond to business changes faster Agile development means your whole team adapts and accelerates quickly when workflows inevitably change. It doesn’t matter how quickly you produce applications if they can’t be swiftly put into production. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides a consistent working architecture, so jobs move smoothly across development, testing, and production. The result is reliable software that gets to users faster. Rapid deployment is facilitated by the underlying HPE Synergy infrastructure, which uses validated architectures to provision containers at scale. This allows the complex production environments to be quickly created and configured. Immediate time to value Unlike disparate systems requiring weeks or months of configuration, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy provides an end-to-end, fully integrated container solution that can be configured within hours once assembled. This eliminates complexities associated with implementing a container platform across an enterprise data center. The collaboration between Red Hat Ansible components and HPE OneView automates the configuration of hardware and software to quickly provision and deploy a containerized environment at scale. Time to value Hours Time to configure Weeks to months HPE/Red Hat solution Other configurations Brochure Page 5 Do more with fewer IT resources Containerized environments will reduce the bare-metal and maintenance costs across your data center. Containers virtualize CPU, memory, storage, and network resources at the OS level. Applications run faster and lighter, increasing efficiency and allowing a single server to support many more containers. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform running on HPE Synergy automates IT provisioning to provide the right mix of virtual, traditional, and container resources for optimal efficiency and performance. Host more applications more efficiently, and require less physical hardware, power, and floor space. Focus on automation Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy incorporates software-defined intelligence at every level to automate many manual deployment configuration and maintenance processes. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and HPE Synergy combine to deliver an intuitive physical and virtual infrastructure that is quick to configure, easy to maintain, and perfect for managing large-scale deployments of containerized applications. Brochure Page 6 Persistent storage for containers Containers were initially designed to be stateless. Common applications across the enterprise are by definition stateful, mission-critical, and heavily regulated. As containers have evolved over the years, sophisticated storage frameworks have matured, and the responsibility to provide data services to the containers is at the discretion of the orchestrator. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform leverages Kubernetes, which allows advanced policy-based storage provisioning and data protection through storage classes. Storage classes in Red Hat OpenShift Container platform may abstract either HPE 3PAR or HPE Nimble Storage features and capabilities. Abstraction empowers the administrator to provide advanced data services to the end-user, who may confidently deploy stateful applications with 99.9999% guaranteed uptime from either storage platform. Solution benefits HPE Synergy and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provide: • Automated deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform using Red Hat Ansible playbooks • A single visual dashboard and centralized API for Ansible automation • Composable infrastructure to run containers on bare metal or VMs, or alongside traditional applications—relieving developers of resource allocation • A highly integrated environment for developing and deploying new and legacy containerized applications • Persistent storage provisioning on-demand • Robust container data management features via HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage backends • Security tools to protect the complete stack Brochure Page 7 Modular solution for the growing enterprise Key solution architecture components The Red Hat OpenShift Platform on HPE Synergy conforms to your changing workflows.

HPE and Red Hat offer services and solutions to help you migrate and modernize your legacy apps for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy. Container advisory and implementation services from HPE Pointnext Container technology is new, and many IT organizations do not have in-depth expertise to migrate, adopt, and operate containers. HPE Pointnext has years of experience building applications, delivering open source platforms, and automating and integrating cloud technologies. Working with our container management partners, we have created the HPE Container Platform Service to help companies rapidly adopt and deploy containers to production. HPE Container Platform Service provisions consulting and implementation expertise end-to-end to: • Assess your unique characteristics and need for an enterprise-grade solution to support your workloads • Move forward from proof of concept to production as part of your container strategy • Enable an automated and secure deployment of your applications in production • Move your container strategy into production in a secure and governed structure Brochure Conclusion Container technology is a key enabler for improved application agility, portability, and quality. Containers are also essential for organizations adopting a hybrid cloud approach, as they can ensure ease of application portability between clouds with little or no changes. Containers ease moving apps from development to production by making them easily portable and providing a consistent test environment. Companies that develop software are looking for a reliable and easy-to-deploy and -manage container environment. Red Hat OpenShift

It’s a time-consuming approach that doesn’t align with ever-increasing requirements for speed and agility. The need to deploy full application stacks and services more quickly and more often in a repeatable manner has driven both development and operational teams toward automation and orchestration. In addition to enabling organizations to better manage applications, infrastructure deployments, and the process of provisioning and de-provisioning, automation reduces the amount of IT resources required and ensures increased reliability, efficiency, and agility. The programmable network Through a deep understanding of best practices for networking and application delivery, F5 empowers organizations to take advantage of the benefits of automation and programmability as they configure and manage devices on the BIG-IP platform. Both the hardware and virtual editions of F5 Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) feature flexible and programmable management, control and data planes. F5 ADCs achieve programmability through the following features: 1. Traffic Management Shell (tmsh): Allows complete access to configure system features and set up and manage network elements.
