Turn-Key Red Hat OpenShift Compact Cluster Solution
Li9, Supermicro and Red Hat have partnered to develop an integrated best-in-class Kubernetes Solution. It includes Red Hat OpenShift with Data Foundation for persistent storage and integrated with the high-value, high-performance, and high-availability Supermicro Server Platform. This compact solution gives customers a small-footprint solution that is optimized, tested, and certified for OpenShift with persistent storage. It provides customers with a low cost of entry into a hardened, production ready Kubernetes environment.

OpenShift is deployed directly on Supermicro Server bare-metal which allows customers to quickly achieve maximum value and performance by giving container applications direct access to compute, memory and storage resources. The Supermicro server configurations are optimized, tested, and certified for OpenShift.
This solution leverages OpenShift’s ability to run the same container applications in Public Cloud, Virtual Private Cloud, or on Bare-Metal, creating a flexible cloud strategy.
