Red Hat Advanced and Premier partners that meet the training requirements for their region's partner program via Red Hat Online Partner Enablement Network (OPEN (News - Alert)) are accredited to sell Red Hat Storage solutions. Red Hat Ceph Storage and Red Hat Gluster Storage are open, scale-out, software-defined storage solutions that are designed to run on top of industry standard hardware. They offer partners flexibility that enables them to address a wide array of their clients' needs regardless of their IT infrastructure. Additionally, the Red Hat Storage portfolio offers a storage platform that can scale across physical, virtual, and cloud resources.
