Many centralized higher education environments are slow to adapt to the changing IT landscape. In this session, we'll discuss how UNC-Chapel Hill is forcing disruption by implementing a private cloud infrastructure, and how Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the bedrock of this strategy. We'll also cover our experience with OpenShift Container Platform: our business case for its use, our migration from host-based infrastructure to a container-first model, the density per machine we've achieved, how we're beginning the migration of our core J2EE services from Oracle Glassfish on VMs to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, how it's helped campus innovation by providing a hosting environment for faculty, staff, and students. We'll conclude with our next steps.
