Data Partner Ecosystem Solutions
Build a data foundation that transcends on-premise and cloud boundaries
Extract more value from your data
Every application needs modern databases to handle and process data. Organizations creating hybrid, cloud-native applications have new data requirements and are implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), analytics, and business intelligence solutions against that data.
Red Hat works closely with our partner ecosystem for data workloads to test, certify, and integrate the technologies you need to support modern use cases and diverse data models so you can build use case-driven, scalable, cloud-native applications.
Why a modern data stack is important
Data is growing rapidly—in volume as well as velocity, variety, complexity, and connectedness—creating a need for more and different types of databases. New cloud-native applications have requirements that a single type of database alone can’t provide, like the ability to store massive amounts of new types of data, process millions of requests per second with millisecond latency, and scale to support millions of users around the world.
Moving your database to a hybrid cloud container platform gives you greater flexibility via:
- Alignment of database and application strategies.
- Flexibility, scalability, and portability to deploy and move between any cloud or on-premise environment.
- One standard experience for developers, without worrying about where the database resides.
- A container platform that lets you break applications into microservices as you see fit.
Solution overview
Adopt an open, adaptable database architecture
Building an open, adaptable database architecture can help you build use case-driven, highly scalable, and distributed applications, but it requires several key technologies, including:
- Tools to ingest, process, and analyze data from a variety of sources to deliver insights.
- Databases, data lakes, and data warehouses to store data for use in cloud-native applications.
- Container and Kubernetes platforms to provide a consistent foundation for deploying databases, data analytics tools, and cloud-native applications across infrastructures as well as self-service capabilities for developers and integrated compute acceleration.
- Consistent and software-defined infrastructure to provide resources across hybrid cloud environments—including datacenter, public cloud, and edge—for all stages of cloud-native application development and deployment.
Red Hat offers a leading container and Kubernetes platform and consistent, software-defined infrastructure along with strong integrations with database partners. Red Hat works closely with data ecosystem partners to certify integrations with Red Hat® OpenShift®, Red Hat Enterprise Linux®, Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation, Red Hat Application Services, and Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform, so you can focus on creating value from your data.
Use an enterprise container platform
Red Hat OpenShift integrates with a large selection of database and data analytics products from ecosystem partners like Couchbase, Crunchy Data, Cloudera, Microsoft, and MongoDB, as well as open source technologies like Apache Kafka and Apache Spark. These partners offer certified Kubernetes operators with OpenShift to simplify deployment and provide a life cycle management experience. Deploying data workloads on Red Hat OpenShift gives you:
- Agility—Deploy and manage modularized databases anywhere with speed, allowing faster project execution and more frequent updates.
- Elastic scaling—Dynamic scaling of compute resources lets you meet the changing needs of database workloads.
- Consistency and portability—Containerize once, deploy and move anywhere. Red Hat OpenShift deploys all cloud-native application components—including databases—on a unified platform that works consistently across all development, test, and production environments and application life cycle phases.
- Automated operations—Kubernetes Operators and Helm charts automate Day 1 and Day 2 operations like deployment, updates, scaling, and backup to provide a life cycle management experience, allowing developers and database administrators to focus on more project-centric tasks. Operators can be procured and deployed easily from the Red Hat Marketplace.

Relational database partners
Relational databases like Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL store data in tables with defined relationships between rows, columns, and cell locations. They provide high integrity, accuracy, and consistency and are useful for e-commerce applications, traditional applications, enterprise resource management (ERM), customer relationship management (CRM), finance, operational databases, and data warehousing.
CockroachDB
CockroachDB is a cloud-native, distributed SQL database. It implements a standard, developer-friendly SQL interface and provides linear, automated scale for your data without the labor-intensive overhead of manual sharding.

NoSQL database partners
Non-relational databases store data in a flexible, non-tabular form that supports more diverse types of data. There are a number of models that are purpose built to handle different types of data and processing. Examples include key value stores for fast read/write commonly used in high-traffic websites and e-commerce, search engine databases for search-related use cases, in-memory databases for use cases requiring submillisecond latency like geospatial and real-time analytics, document for catalog and content management use cases, wide column for highly scalable translation logs useful in use cases like equipment maintenance and fraud detection, graph for highly connected use cases like recommendation engines, and time series designed for time-stamped data in use cases like IOT or industrial telemetry.
Elastic
Elastic is a distributed, open source search and analytics engine for all types of data, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured. Known for its simple REST APIs, distributed nature, speed, and scalability, Elastic is the central component of the Elastic Stack, a set of open source tools for data ingestion, enrichment, storage, analysis, and visualization.
