Join us to discover the advantages your organization can gain from this potent combination of leading technologies.

Cloud automation: a recipe for success

At Red Hat, our mission is to design, adopt, and promote the use of zero trust architectural patterns. This approach takes the place of implicit trust with the principle, "never trust, always verify." The last several years have seen a rapid increase in the number of devices across organizations’ networks that are decentralized and need improved security and management. This creates internal and external risks because much of what used to be housed in offices is now in employees’ homes and running on their personal networks. At the same time, domestic and international cyberattacks are increasingly common. With many disparate tools, devices, and processes, a zero trust framework is needed to help department leads and cybersecurity professionals manage different networking environments, coordinate, investigate and respond, and work toward unifying these tools, devices, and processes. Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can help to stitch these tools and processes together through automation.

Zero trust security for networks

If you’re running Microsoft SQL Server on CentOS Linux® 7 today, migrating to SQL Server 2022 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the logical choice.

Scale and standardize your infrastructure in Azure with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Across industries, organizations are using cloud infrastructure and technologies to advance their business and gain competitive advantages. Most organizations have adopted hybrid and multicloud strategies to increase flexibility, efficiency, and innovation while reducing risk.

Simplify your journey to the cloud with Red Hat and Google Cloud

Across industries, organizations are moving to a cloud environment as part of their digital strategy. In fact, enterprise organizations run 50% of their workloads and store 48% of their data in a public cloud. Your choice of operating system (OS) and cloud provider are strategic decisions. Your OS forms the foundation for your entire environment. Security, management, portability, and life cycle planning start with the OS.

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® on Amazon Web Services (AWS) can deliver more value for your organization, providing a flexible, stable, and reliable foundation for innovation. This webinar describes how setting a foundation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for both on-site datacenter and AWS environments can help you improve productivity, security, and operations as you move to the cloud and adapt to an increasingly digital world.

Optimize your IT environment with Red Hat and AWS

Cloud-based infrastructure investments are a priority for organizations as they shift toward open hybrid and multicloud deployments. “Hybrid” means organizations can implement cloud with one foot in the datacenter, while “open” allows for portability across on- and off-premise environments and providers. When done right, these open environments provide the ability for uninterrupted integration of services and interoperability, allowing for greater agility and speed of deployment. They can also unlock access to optimal services and applications, along with options specifically designed to meet industry requirements. 

Join IDC and Red Hat to discover how enterprise Linux® can serve as the backbone for your hybrid cloud environments.

Improve your innovation in hybrid environments

Many organizations are entering into a phase of cost cutting efforts across all aspects of their business, especially for IT.  At times, these efforts rotate into a fervent slide into assessing IT spend via Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) which is the estimation of the expenses associated with purchasing, deploying, using, and retiring a software product.  Unfortunately, more often than not, this turns into a race to the bottom on spending with little regard to the business value outcomes of an organization’s spend reduction.  In this session, you will learn how to counter this by reframing TCO to Total Cost Optimization, which is the continuous discipline to drive spending and cost reduction, while maximizing business value. In other words, how do you keep an eye on spending, but do so while amplifying your return on investment (ROI).  This is where organizations shift spending to the left while the dollar-for-dollar outcomes produced are greater than anything possible with a lowest cost alternative. Compound this with cloud cost optimization strategies, to ensure your IT investment goes further now than in the past.


Don’t miss this session for LOB owners, CTOs, IT directors, and IT professionals as  industry experts share their real-world experiences of helping organizations maximize their IT spend through leveraging turn-key application platforms, hybrid cloud consistent hyperscaler services, and evolve their FinOps strategies for greater ROI and more competitive market offerings.

Maximizing cloud investments: The new TCO, Total Cost Optimization

Digital-first strategies are now entrenched across nearly every industry vertical, with C-suites embracing the need to deploy new software capabilities quickly to remain competitive and meet customer demand. One of the greatest challenges for most development organizations is to navigate the complex technology environments that need to span new cloud-native application development and legacy applications. This includes the challenge of getting new and legacy applications to share data and services without interruption. Adding to this complexity is the need to optimize with multicloud and hybrid cloud deployment scenarios, including making use of on-premise infrastructure.
For these reasons, organizations are increasingly prioritizing a unified platform for application development and delivery to serve as the foundation of their company’s software development life cycle (SDLC) needs. By focusing on platform technologies that span the SDLC, they can take advantage of automation and thereby achieve a variety of business benefits. 
IDC assessed the potential value of establishing a unified, comprehensive, and integrated development and delivery platform by extracting data from interviews conducted with organizations using Red Hat® solutions—including Red Hat OpenShift®, Red Hat Runtimes, and Red Hat Integration—to modernize their application environments and support application development efforts. IDC’s research shows that Red Hat customers achieved strong value through use of these solutions by making their development activities more scalable, timely, and impactful, even as they realized cost and operational efficiencies.

The value of a unified platform for application development and delivery
