NOSQL for the Enterprise

As stated on the Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise (OSE) site, "OpenShift Enterprise is a comprehensive enterprise development platform for the cloud era. It provides everything you need to develop and execute enterprise applications—delivered in your choice of private or public cloud."
Scott Collier has been working on putting together a high availability reference architecture for installing OSE on-premise or hybrid Pass solution. This solution includes a demo of deploying a JBoss mobile project to the final architecture. This reference architecture is available at the Online Resource Library (limited version) and in the Customer Portal (full version).
