Red Hat teams up with BSS Oman to transform its offerings through innovative approaches to the blockchain.
Red Hat, Inc. announced that its OpenShift solution will be deployed by Blockchain Services & Solutions (BSS) Oman across its organisation for more scalable, consistent application development in order to achieve faster time to market for innovation and to support its expansion strategy. With the help of Al Nahla Solutions IT Consultancy services, BSS implemented Red Hat OpenShift as its hybrid cloud platform.
“At Red Hat, we balance the rapid community innovation of open source development with the stability, support, and security features of enterprise software to power emerging technologies such as blockchain in areas like government and financial services. We are excited to work with Blockchain Services and Solutions Oman as it builds out its application development strategy with Red Hat OpenShift as a foundation for its business expansion and commitment to redefining the exceptional customer experience,” said Adrian Pickering, Regional General Manager, Red Hat MENA.
BSS has begun running applications on Red Hat OpenShift, including customer-facing solutions, gaining the flexibility and freedom to run containers consistently across its choice of the environment including multiple on-premise data centres. By deploying Red Hat OpenShift across three sites, BSS improved the redundancy and high availability of services and can achieve faster disaster recovery. With its flexible infrastructure, BSS expects to maximise ROI and enable more efficient hosting of future high-demand services and improve scalability.

This enables BSS to act as a public cloud and provide Blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) to enable customers to explore blockchain use cases in an agile environment.
With its unified platform, BSS has been able to decrease the time taken between a customer requesting a service and having it available from three days down to one. BSS developer teams are experiencing improved productivity thanks to greater automation and central management of the entire application and operations lifecycle.
BSS has been able to achieve these improvements as a result of Red Hat OpenShift’s range of features, including dynamic security controls such as container isolation and data access control, the benefits offered by Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh, which is used to connect, manage and observe microservices-based applications and the efficiencies offered by Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines based on Tekton, a Kubernetes-native framework for creating continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) systems.
