Globe and Red Hat have announced a collaboration to modernize Globe’s IT infrastructure. By leveraging Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, they aim to boost agility, scalability, and innovation, enhancing operational practices and customer experience.
During the Open Innovations Lab residency, Globe’s engineers worked closely with Red Hat to integrate open-source technologies like Red Hat OpenShift. They also embraced DevOps methodologies and innovative practices, addressing challenges in operational efficiency, developer productivity, and team collaboration.
Through this collaboration, Globe quickly migrated its first application modules to Red Hat OpenShift, formed a cross-functional team, and established new operational processes. This progress paved the way for scaling the platform and migrating the first full application within six months.
A path forward to more easily develop and deploy AI-enabled applications in the future.
- Test-driven development and automation cut test execution time by 80%*, enabling more frequent testing and eliminating manual reports.
- A GitOps-based cloud-native approach achieved 75% faster resource provisioning through zero-touch provisioning, self-healing, and auto-scaling.
- Zero downtime cluster upgrades ensure Globe’s platform remains highly available with more consistent and easier to implement life cycle management.
- A path forward to more easily develop and deploy AI-enabled applications in the future.
As Globe transitions from a traditional telecom company to a technology-driven enterprise, adopting Red Hat OpenShift lays the foundation for achieving their goal of delivering better customer experiences through a stable and resilient application platform.
Globe is committed to operational excellence by evolving tools, processes, and people to meet best practices and standards. Consequently, its vision is to become a self-sustaining organization that is robust, flexible, and adaptive to changes in the digital landscape.
“Our collaboration with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has been instrumental in our digital transformation journey. By adopting Red Hat OpenShift as a new enterprise-wide application development platform, we’re able to innovate quicker with a key focus on customer experience.
