- Red Hat OpenShift facilitates the development and deployment of
cloud-native applications, enabling an improved customer experience
and more
Globe and Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced a collaboration to modernize
Globe’s IT infrastructure with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs for
greater agility, scalability and innovation that will help Globe
improve operational practices to deliver a new and improved
customer experience.
During the Open Innovations Lab residency, Globe's engineers
worked closely with Red Hat to integrate open source technologies
including Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud
application platform powered by Kubernetes, DevOps methodologies
and innovative practices including an immersive approach to help
Globe tackle challenges in operational efficiency, developer
productivity, observability, upskilling and cross-team
collaboration.
Through this collaboration, the Globe teams migrated the first
application modules to Red Hat OpenShift faster, and quickly
learned to fully utilize its features, created a cross-functional
team and established new operational processes. This laid the
groundwork for scaling up the platform and migrating the first full
application to Red Hat OpenShift over the next six months.
Additional benefits for Globe:
- Test-driven development and automation cut test execution time
by 80%*, enabling more frequent testing and eliminating manual
reports.
- A GitOps-based cloud-native approach achieved 75% faster
resource provisioning through zero-touch provisioning, self-healing
and auto-scaling.
- Zero downtime cluster upgrades ensure Globe’s platform remains
highly available with more consistent and easier to implement
lifecycle management.
- A path forward to more easily develop and deploy AI-enabled
applications in the future.
As Globe continues its transition from a traditional telecom
company to a technology-driven enterprise, the adoption of Red Hat
OpenShift provides the foundation for their ultimate goal of
providing better customer experiences through a resilient, stable
application platform.
Globe is committed to achieving operational excellence by
evolving tools, processes and people to adhere to best practices
and standards across the organization. Its vision is to become a
self-sustaining organization that is robust, flexible and adaptive
to changes in the digital landscape.
