eXo Expands Partnership with Red Hat to Onramp Developers to OpenShift

eXo introduces Ruby support and Git integration enabling direct application deployments from eXo Cloud IDE to new Red Hat's new OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

BOSTON, May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- RED HAT SUMMIT -- eXo, a provider of Java portal and user experience technologies, today announced it is expanding language support on eXo Cloud IDE to Ruby and integrating Git to enable direct deployment to Red Hat's new OpenShift PaaS. eXo is among the first to support OpenShift, building on the companies' two-year partnership.

News Highlights

    --  Launched in March, eXo Cloud IDE is a multi-tenant, hosted development
        environment that facilitates social coding--the collaborative
        development of applications, gadgets and mashups that can be deployed
        directly to a PaaS. eXo Cloud IDE currently supports Java development
        with the ability to wire REST services, HTML5, Gadgets and structured
        content to create rich mashups and web applications on the fly. eXo will
        be refreshing the service in June to support Ruby.
    --  With eXo's native integration of Git, Ruby developers can deploy
        remotely to any PaaS supporting Git, such as OpenShift from Red Hat. A
        simple push of the application source code from Cloud IDE will trigger
        the automatic (re)deployment of the application. This push action can be
        used both during development to test along the way and to deploy into
        production.
    --  eXo and Red Hat first partnered in 2009, merging their respective portal
        projects into GateIn, which underpins their respective commercial
        offering--eXo Platform and JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform. The
        partnership expanded in 2010 to extend Red Hat's new Site Publisher with
        eXo user experience services--collaboration, social and custom
        application development with eXo IDE. With the expanded partnership, eXo
        is now collaborating with Red Hat's cloud team.
    --  eXo Cloud IDE is the first of a set of free developer services eXo will
        be rolling out over the next year. Developers can sign up, create their
        own domain and invite others to collaborate on a shared development
        environment. Ruby and Git support will be available in June.

Supporting Quotes

    --  Benjamin Mestrallet, eXo founder and CEO: "Over the last two years, Red
        Hat's JBoss team has been an exceptional partner, so we're pleased to
        expand our collaboration with Red Hat into the cloud. Our native
        integration of Git means OpenShift is the first PaaS that can support
        remote Git deployment from eXo Cloud IDE."
    --  Sarangan Rangachari, senior director, Cloud Ecosystem at Red Hat: "eXo
        Cloud IDE is already proving to be a popular development service, and
        now with Git support, it becomes an even more valuable service. We
        welcome this expanded partnership with eXo, enabling OpenShift to be a
        PaaS of choice for developers using eXo Cloud IDE."
