Red Hat expands OpenShift's European availability, slashes prices

November 11, 2013

Red Hat is cutting prices on the commercial version of its OpenShift Online PaaS (platform as a service) and making it available in more European countries, moves aimed at gaining a stronger foothold in one of the enterprise software industry’s hottest segments. OpenShift Online Silver is based on the OpenShift Origin open-source software project and runs on infrastructure from Amazon Web Services. It went live in June. Customers purchase access to OpenShift Online based on “gears,” the resource containers that run the OpenShift Online software stacks. On Monday, Red Hat said its hourly gear pricing has been cut by 50 percent, and that gears with 2GB of RAM are available along with the existing 512MB and 1GB options. Gears now cost US$0.02 to $0.10 per hour. The service is now available in Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Cyprus and Malta.
