University of Gothenburg adopts application platform for data science
The University of Gothenburg, a Swedish university with more than 60,000 students and staff, needed to build a new web platform. Recognizing its best option was an application platform, it also realized building on its legacy VMs would be slow.
Read this customer story to learn why the university chose Red Hat OpenShift, and how doing so gave them a stable, robust foundation to enhance its research capabilities.
What prompted the University of Gothenburg to adopt Red Hat OpenShift?
The University of Gothenburg recognized that their existing virtual machine (VM) environment would slow down development when building a new website in 2020. They sought an application platform that would facilitate faster testing, deployment, and launching of new services, which led them to adopt Red Hat OpenShift.
How does Red Hat OpenShift benefit developers and researchers?
Red Hat OpenShift provides self-service capabilities that allow developers and researchers to create namespaces and deploy applications without waiting for IT support. This accelerates project timelines, enabling faster onboarding of developers and students, and allows VMs and containers to run side by side, simplifying management.
What future plans does the University of Gothenburg have for Red Hat OpenShift?
The University plans to expand its use of Red Hat OpenShift to include more clusters for development and testing, containerizing legacy applications, and utilizing the platform for AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing projects. They aim to create a data science platform that offers shared access to GPU and CPU resources.
