Johnson Controls adopts Red Hat OpenShift on AWS for cloud shift
Johnson Controls has implemented Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS to modernise its C•CURE Cloud solution for enhanced security and access management. The company undertook the transition to meet evolving customer demands for flexibility and scalability in managing security and access requirements across diverse building environments. The move brings C•CURE Cloud onto a hybrid cloud architecture, integrating both traditional virtual machine environments and cloud-native solutions. Johnson Controls, which employs over 105,000 people worldwide and provides services for smart and sustainable building management, selected Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS for its scalability and modern hybrid cloud features. This decision aligns with the company's aim to provide consistent customer experiences regardless of whether C•CURE is operated on-premises or through the cloud. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, a component of the platform, played a role in allowing Johnson Controls to migrate C•CURE to a cloud-ready infrastructure. By deploying C•CURE on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, the application can now run inside a container and alongside cloud-native applications, minimising the need for application refactoring. According to the company, the shift also supports the deployment of C•CURE at remote and distributed locations. This approach intends to deliver real-time data insights by extending C•CURE to the edge, addressing the needs of customers in industries operating across various geographies and conditions. The managed nature of Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS enabled Johnson Controls to complete the platform deployment with only a small team responsible for migration and ongoing management. This has allowed the business to avoid dedicating resources to infrastructure maintenance and instead focus on delivering additional features and enhancements to end users. Mike Barrett, Vice President, Hybrid Platforms, Red Hat, said: "Many organizations want to modernize traditional technologies like virtual machines in order to take advantage of efficient and scalable cloud-native tooling, but struggle to do so in a way that is both non-disruptive and doesn't demand a complete shift in application strategy. Red Hat and AWS addressed this challenge with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, and our ongoing collaboration aims to further improve VM cost-efficiency by streamlining Windows virtual machine licensing and optimizing the utilization of AWS instance types for Linux virtual machines. With Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Johnson Controls was able to more quickly and easily migrate to a modern hybrid cloud platform." Scott Stout, Director of Cloud Engineering, Johnson Controls, said: "Our customers cross all industries and regions and each have unique needs and requirements for how they run C•CURE. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS we were able to support bringing C•CURE's latest developments to a hybrid cloud environment that enables our customers to run the application consistently wherever works best for them, all while taking advantage of advanced security features and the high availability and resiliency of cloud services."
