CROC is the first Red Hat certified cloud service provider in the Russian Federation

We have a little holiday here. Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), a company that makes fairly well-known open source software, has assigned us the status of a certified cloud service provider . We received this status for three reasons - firstly, because we are the Russian leader in the field of creating IT infrastructures and systems integration, and secondly, we comply with Red Hat’s requirements for building public “clouds” (including our public "), And thirdly, because we have long and close friends with the * nix-ecosystem.

What does it mean?

Participation in the program provides CROC with the opportunity to provide enterprise-class cloud services using Red Hat software. Officially, cool and even in state institutions. It is very important. We can officially deliver a Red Hat Enterprise Linux product to customers.

How long have we become red eyes?

We have been working with Red Hat for about 10 years. We made several joint projects for large Russian companies. From the largest - our Virtual data center, consisting of two physical data centers. Now there are just over 50 very large organizations.

What does this status mean?

What we are doing public "clouds" in accordance with the requirements of Red Hat to build public "clouds." First of all, this concerns our own large public B2B cloud, with which banking, energy, insurance, medical, telecom services, retail and so on work. The main priority is reliability and safety. Therefore - Red Hat and open source.

Why a hat?

Red Hat is open source and enterprise-class solutions. It is very easy to transfer new applications to this ecosystem, it is very easy to configure without crutches and so on.

What are your plans?

We will continue to provide customers with services from our “cloud” based on Red Hat solutions, and we will increase our competence in building hybrid “clouds”.

How difficult is it to get such a status?

A thorough check is being done. Each partner must fulfill test and certification requirements to demonstrate the ability to provide a secure, scalable, supported, and compatible environment for deploying corporate clouds. The Red Hat program for certified suppliers is a pretty good proof of reliability.

Is it true that CROC loves * nix?

Yes. And at the same time, we are clearly aware that there are not enough specialists in the country, so we are holding Russian Olympiads on administering * nix-systems with good prizes and other activities aimed at training and increasing interest in open source systems.
