Johnson Controls has chosen Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS to modernize its C•CURE Cloud solution. This transition allows Johnson Controls to adopt a hybrid cloud architecture, simplifying operations and preparing the company for future innovations. The collaboration was announced at the Red Hat Summit in Boston.
Johnson Controls is known for creating smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings with a workforce of over 105,000 employees globally. The company aims to enhance security and access management across various building environments through scalable infrastructure.
The adoption of Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS provides Johnson Controls with modern hybrid cloud capabilities that are scalable. With assistance from Red Hat Consulting and using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Johnson Controls migrated C•CURE to a cloud-ready platform. This move enables the application to run both inside containers and alongside cloud-native applications without requiring refactoring.
The flexible hybrid architecture of C•CURE ensures consistent customer experiences whether it operates on-premises or in the cloud. It also supports real-time data insights by extending to remote locations through edge computing.
The managed architecture of Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS allowed Johnson Controls to deploy with minimal oversight, enabling them to focus more on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
Mike Barrett from Red Hat highlighted that many organizations seek modernization without disrupting existing strategies. He noted that their collaboration with AWS addresses this challenge by improving VM cost-efficiency and optimizing resource utilization.
Scott Stout from Johnson Controls emphasized that their customers have diverse needs across industries and regions. The new setup allows them to leverage advanced security features while maintaining high availability and resiliency in cloud services.
This development marks a significant step for Johnson Controls as they continue evolving their infrastructure towards greater innovation potential.
