A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Gluster Storage

Chapter 1. Introduction to Red Hat Storage and Red Hat OpenStack

Red Hat Storage is a software-based, distributed technology that is scalable and highly available as software only. Red Hat Storage can be deployed in the cloud or data centers using Red Hat Storage Server.
Red Hat OpenStack provides the foundation for building a private or public Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It offers a massively scalable, fault-tolerant platform for the development of cloud-enabled workloads.
Integration of Red Hat Storage with Red Hat OpenStack is hardened and validated by Red Hat, and is best suited to serve as the storage platform for Red Hat OpenStack.

1.1. Advantages of Integration

The following are some of the advantages of using an integrated solution:
  • It offers users a storage and compute solution, a platform for innovation, and a support experience during the journey to open hybrid cloud.
  • Makes it easier to deploy and manage enterprise and public clouds with unified storage services for OpenStack, supporting block storage (Cinder), image services (Glance), and object storage (Swift) from the same storage pool.
