Agenda
• How Node.js & Mobility are Changing Enterprise IT:
Bi-Modal Fast-IT is needed for Digital Transformation
• What is Red Hat’s Node.js Story?
• What is Red Hat Mobile’s Node.js Story?
• Brief overview of Red Hat Mobile Application Platform

3. From Systems of Record

MODE 1 MODE 2
Emergence of Bimodal or 2-Track IT
* Some even argue for tri-modal!!! http://blog.gardeviance.org/2014/11/bimodal-it-is-long-hand-for-snafu.html

6. • More time is spent in mobile apps
now than all of the web.1
• IT organizations will dedicate at
least 25% of their software budget
to mobile application development,
deployment, and management by
2017.2
Mobile is the Catalyst – Node.js is the Tool
From Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement

Red Hat & Open Source
• Red Hat is embedded in almost every major
open source community: Linux Foundation,
OpenJDK, Apache, Eclipse, OpenStack, …
• RH is leading open source company in the
world with annual revenue FY15 $1.79B,
approaching 8k employees, track record of
continuous growth for over 10 years
• If you spun out JBoss Middleware as a
separate entity it would be the 2nd biggest
open source company in the world (sorry that’s
mainly, but not exclusively, Java EAP stuff :-)
• Red Hat is committed to open source
communities as a real engagement of equals

9. 9
Red Hat & Node.js Foundation
• RH is already supporting the Node.js
Foundation via the Linux Foundation (advice on
governance models etc.)
• RH is in discussions with Node Foundation
about joining – its goals are in-line with our
own aspirations for Node.js
• The success of Node.js is another great
example of open source success, both in the
core and in the huge engagement in open
modules around the core

Red Hat ❤ Node.js
• For bare metal & VM as an OS
– RHEL supports Node.js
• For Linux/Docker containers
– RHEL Atomic supports Node.js
– Versions of hosts and for containers
– Remember: the container is the OS!!!!
• For polyglot PaaS
• OpenShift by Red Hat supports Node.js
• For enterprise Mobility
• Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
• All use same supported Node.js stack
via software collections

Red Hat Mobile ❤ Node.js
• FeedHenry Node.js in R&D
– Evaluation 2010
• FeedHenry Node.js demo
– VMworld August 2011
• FeedHenry Node.js in production
– Go-live 2012
• FeedHenry Acquisition
– October 2014

12. Red Hat Mobile provides a Mobile Application Platform
that accelerates the development of mobile projects by
facilitating collaborative app development and secure
backend integration in the cloud and on premise.

Free Trial – RHMAP & OpenShift – now
• Available today for Free Trial Access
https://openshift.feedhenry.com
• Here’s a getting started in 15mins:
http://developers.redhat.com/products/mobileplatform/
overview/
• Creating a target MBaaS takes 10-15 mins on
a standard free OpenShift account
• Once this is done you can stage any app to
your own OpenShift 2.2 account
• Also an option to use a separately deployed
OpenShift 2.2 Enterprise target will lead to
faster setup and deploy times
Check out the developer trial of the
Red Hat Mobile Application
Platform powered by OpenShift at:

OpenShift 3.0 Staging – to come
• Demoed at Red Hat Summit (June 2015)
• OpenShift 3 is a completely new architecture for
OpenShift, using Linux Containers (aka Docker)
and Kubernetes
• Similarly to OpenShift 2.2 the initial step is to
setup a target MBaaS within the OpenShift
deployment
• Initially the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
will be able to stage to OpenShift 3
• Then the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
will itself be hosted in Linux Containers managed
by OpenShift 3

Node.js
Use as the main backend for mobile services
AND/OR
Use as integration layer to existing
enterprise services
AND/OR
Use a lightweight proxy to JBoss Java or
other preferred dev stack
Giving Developers ultimate Flexibility and Choice
>180k publicly distributed modules
>2,3B downloads (August 2015)

Benefits of OpenShift 3 Architecture
It’s Turtles all the way down
• Red Hat MAP – Application layer
• OpenShift by Red Hat – PaaS layer
• RHEL, RHEL Atomic – container OS, host VM OS
• Red Hat OpenStack – optional IaaS layer
All backed by Red Hat support, with response to
security issues and other benefits.
