Red Hat and IBM Launch Red Hat Marketplace

Red Hat and IBM announced the general availability of Red Hat Marketplace. It is a one-stop-shop to find, try, buy, deploy and manage enterprise applications across an organization’s hybrid IT infrastructure, including on-premises and multicloud environments.

A private, personalized marketplace experience is also available with Red Hat Marketplace Select at an additional cost for enterprises that want additional control and governance with curated software for more efficiency and scale that is pre-approved for that particular enterprise. Both marketplaces deliver an ecosystem of software from a range of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), built on Red Hat OpenShift to provide clients modern, consistent solution discovery, trial, purchase and deployment.

For companies building cloud-native infrastructure and applications, Red Hat Marketplace can unlock the value of cloud investments, designed to minimize the barriers facing global organizations as they accelerate innovation. A growing ecosystem of ISVs has embraced the marketplace because it offers them an efficient, vendor-neutral, and data-driven channel for selling and supporting products in enterprise accounts.

The growing list of more than 50 commercial products available for purchase includes leading solutions across 12 different categories, including AI/ML, Database, Monitoring, Security, Storage, Big Data, Developer tools and more, from ISVs such as Anchore, Cockroach Labs, CognitiveScale, Couchbase, Dynatrace, KubeMQ, MemSQL, MongoDB, and StorageOS. All products are certified for Red Hat OpenShift and offered with commercial support. Built on the open Kubernetes Operator Framework, they can run on OpenShift like a cloud service, with capabilities like automated install and upgrade, backup, failover and recovery.
