An estimated 15 billion devices run Java™ worldwide . Until January 2019, no one had to pay for access to a current Java Virtual Machine (JVM), but Oracle implemented a significant change to its release cadence and support model. Oracle JDK is no longer free for production workloads and patches, leaving organizations with a choice to either pay Oracle for continued production support and updates for Oracle JDK, adopt OpenJDK and upgrade every six months, or migrate to an alternative OpenJDK implementation.

Learn how the Red Hat build of OpenJDK can help you develop, test, and deploy Java workloads in Windows or Linux-based environments.

Benefits:
• Open source innovation
• Cost savings
• Multiplatform support
• Long-term support
• Frequent releases

Businesses differentiate by delivering extraordinary experiences to their customers, and today those experiences are driven by applications that quickly evolve to meet their needs. Once deployed, these applications must be portable, secure, easy to scale, and simple to manage. Organizations are turning to containers and Kubernetes to meet these needs. To quickly deliver new applications or to containerize and migrate existing ones to the cloud, they need a trusted platform to build upon.

Develop, deploy, and manage existing and container-based applications seamlessly across physical, virtual, and public cloud infrastructures. Learn how Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform can help.

Creating customer value depends upon your ability to develop, deploy, and run high quality applications faster across any cloud. Applications need to be cloud-native by default. Learn how to position your business for hybrid cloud success.

Align your cloud technology with your business needs.

This open transformation can help you further accelerate innovation and customer engagement. Combining open processes and culture with cloud-native applications development approaches can create lasting improvement in your organization. You can also deliver more value to customers and gain many benefits for your organization.

IT-focused outcomes include:


• Faster application updates.
• Rapid application deployment.
• Quicker fault recovery.
• Improved accuracy.

When thinking about migrating applications into containers, there are three main high-level strategies: lift and shift, augment, and rewrite.

No matter which method you choose, it is important to recognize that most software was designed and written before modern, image-based containers were invented. Even if you choose the “lift and shift” method, where you might run a monolithic application inside a single container, it is likely that your application will need to be modified. To successfully move to containers, you will need a solid migration strategy that takes into account the needs of your applications and the nature of Linux® containers.

Learn specific, technical recommendations and guidelines for migrating software into containers—from image build procedures to production best practices.

Conversations about digital transformation and related culture change are not new. Whether described as disruption, or simply IT initiatives, we operate in a continuous cycle of change. In the private sector, this change is often clear and illustrated in the form of financial or market impacts. In the public sector, these disruptions can often be masked, but their impacts in the form of security, speed to capability, or service interruption can be found across every government organization and major agency.

Today’s citizens can make a reservation at a nearby restaurant, order a driver, or join an online class with a few clicks in a mobile app or browser. They expect interactions with government to be just as convenient. Picture self-service web portals for checking tax refund status. Mobile apps for reporting emergencies or infrastructure in need of repair. New ways of crowdsourcing data to increase situational awareness during disasters.

There is intense pressure on organizations to transform their enterprises to remain more competitive in an age of disruption. This digital transformation imperative requires organizations to improve— and often completely overhaul—their technical capabilities. But true transformation demands more than just new technologies. It requires strategic vision and commitment from the top of the organization to rethink and retool the three main attributes of the modern enterprise— its culture, its processes, and its technology. Any effective digital business leader will tell you that introducing new technology is the easier part; it’s the cultural and process changes that can thwart transformation progress.
