SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As part
of its strategy to reimagine the business of travel, Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced that the company has
extended its existing strategic relationship with Red Hat to
leverage Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform as the foundation for
its Next Generation Platform initiative. OpenShift will be the
basis of modern architecture that includes microservices,
development and operations (DevOps), and a multi-faceted cloud
strategy to accelerate Sabre's transition to the Next Generation
Platform and lead an industry evolution in the future of retailing,
distribution and fulfillment through innovative technology.
"The Next Generation Platform is the cornerstone of Sabre's
long-term technology strategy," said Vish
Saoji, Sabre CTO. "Red Hat has delivered the
enterprise-hardened software environment we need to help drive our
technology transformation, and this collaboration allows us to
build upon that architecture and execute our plan."
Sabre customers will benefit from this technology transformation
through enhanced stability, world-class security, accelerated speed
to market and the development of new capabilities such as
NDC-enabled solutions. The two companies will work together on
product roadmap needs, with Red Hat fine-tuning their approach to
meet Sabre's development standards.
"We are very pleased to be working with an established travel
technology leader like Sabre to help fuel their digital
transformation," said Ashesh Badani,
vice president and general manager, Cloud Platforms Business Unit,
Red Hat. "Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform pairs emerging
technologies with enterprise-grade stability and enhanced security,
enabling Sabre to bring new innovations to market more quickly
while helping to meet customer needs for service availability."
This collaboration with Red Hat underscores Sabre's commitment
to complete the last phase of its exit from the Transaction
Processing Facility (TPF) mainframe operating system and emphasizes
that all future development for next-generation retailing,
distribution and fulfillment will take advantage of innovative
architecture. This next-generation focus is also supported by
Sabre's recent agreement with Microsoft, which will empower the
migration of Sabre's commercial applications to Microsoft Azure,
and the agreement with Amazon Web Services to execute Sabre's
innovative cloud strategy.
