Red Hat Service Interconnect

What is Red Hat Service Interconnect?

Red Hat® Service Interconnect allows applications and services to communicate with each other regardless of the environment or platform.

Unlike traditional means of interconnecting, such as VPNs combined with complex firewall rules, interconnections can be created by anyone on the development team without elevated privileges and delivered with a protected link without compromising the organization's infrastructure or data.

Product details

dynamic routing

If the application needs to move to a different environment, the connectivity follows along–while avoiding lock-in to provider-specific networking.

Command line interface

Using a simple command line interface, interconnections are created in a matter of minutes, avoiding extensive networking planning and configuration.

Transport layer security

All interconnections between applications use mutual transport layer security (TLS) to encrypt and help protect your organization's infrastructure and data.

Benefits

Portable

Applications and their associated networking are completely portable across different environments without any additional configuration–easing complex migrations and providing benefits such as operational efficiency.

Simple

Developers have access to "self-service" interconnection of applications and services they need while the infrastructure operators still maintain the integrity and control required for a secure infrastructure.

Protected

Red Hat Service Interconnect delivers connectivity at the application level—allowing for only a “pinhole” access to be created between networks rather than having to wholly open networks up to one another for communication.

Hybrid

Any Kubernetes cluster, any virtual machine, any bare-metal host can be interconnected combined with Red Hat's and non-Red Hat products. And to the cloud-native apps running in the cloud, these “legacy” apps appear to be cloud-native apps as well.
