Launched
in 2009, the Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider Program assembles the
solutions cloud providers need to plan, build, manage and offer hosted
cloud solutions and Red Hat technologies to customers. A Red Hat
Certified Cloud Provider offers a trusted destination for Red Hat
customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and partners to benefit
from Red Hat offerings in public clouds under innovative consumption and
service models delivered by the cloud providers. The Certified Cloud
Provider designation is awarded to Red Hat partners following rigorous
validation by Red Hat. Each provider meets testing and certification
requirements to demonstrate that they can deliver a safe, scalable,
supported and consistent environment for enterprise cloud deployments.
The Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider program provides customers, ISVs,
and partners with the confidence that Red Hat product experts have
validated the solution so that implementations begin with a solid
foundation.
Red Hat Certified Cloud Providers offer Red Hat products on their
clouds, as well as use Red Hat technologies to build and manage secure
clouds. With resources from these, and other, Red Hat Certified Clouds,
enterprises are able to do real work in the cloud today. Users and
partners of Red Hat solutions via Certified Cloud Providers cross
multiple industries, including manufacturing, financial services,
consumer services, healthcare, media and entertainment and public sector
organizations.

Ashesh Badani, general manager, Cloud and OpenShift, Red Hat
"I am pleased with the excitement and success our partners have
demonstrated in getting their solutions certified. Customers are the
true beneficiaries of our Certified Cloud Provider program, as they can
confidently look to Red Hat and our partners to get their business to
the cloud and realize higher value from our solutions more quickly."
Kevin Zaffaroni, senior vice president, IT, Acxiom
"Red Hat is an important partner in Acxiom's cloud ecosystem. Our
collaboration ensures that we deliver the advanced security and support
that are critical components of our cloud offerings."
Doug Tutus, group managing director, NewLease
"Red Hat is an important addition to the NewLease vendor range due to
its high prominence in the Cloud, and by adding the CCP program to our
existing programs it will open up new market opportunities for us. The
sweet spot for NewLease is enterprise Linux partners looking to
transition from Unix to Linux and that are committed to building a
bigger cloud practice. There is also great opportunity for partners
looking to transition into the cloud. NewLease's strength lies in
helping businesses evolve into a Cloud subscription business and growing
their cloud practises profitably. That's where NewLease can add a lot of
value to the Red Hat brand."
Chris Drumgoole, senior vice president, Global Operations, Verizon
Terremark
"Our cloud infrastructure is designed to be flexible for enterprise
customers. Being a Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider means customers can
provision legally licensed Red Hat servers from templates provided in
the Verizon Enterprise Cloud and vCloud Express interface without having
to go through Red Hat to purchase entitlements."
