Learn how Red Hat’s open, software ­defined infrastructure unlocks efficiency and agility, helping teams and technologies work together better.

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 8 provides an intelligent, stable, and security ­focused foundation for modern, agile business operations. Consistency across infrastructure allows you to deploy applications, workloads, and services using the same tools, regardless of location. As a result, you can deploy and operate the enterprise hybrid cloud environment your business needs faster and with less effort. Download the datasheet to learn more.

Out of $188 trillion of worldwide business revenue in 2019, $10 trillion is touched by Red Hat Enterprise Linux. About 900,000 people are employed by Red Hat and its ecosystem, powering 1.7 million IT professionals who work on Red Hat­enabled systems for a total of 2.6 million in Red Hat–related positions in 2019.

This IDC whitepaper sizes the economic impact of Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the global economy. The software and applications running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux will "touch" $10 trillion of business revenue this year and grow at twice the rate of the economy. Further, IDC predicts that Red Hat Enterprise Linux will provide economic benefits of more than $1 trillion a year to customers and will save IT organizations nearly $7 billion this year alone.

IT organizations want to deliver greater business value by increasing productivity, delivering services faster, and remaining flexible to incorporate the latest innovations like cloud, containers, and configuration automation. Modern workloads, whether on bare metal, virtual machines, containers, or private or public clouds, are expected to be portable and scalable. They need a modern, secure platform to support those requirements.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is growing in popularity due to its ability to consolidate and simplify compute, storage, and network infrastructure for business-critical applications. As organizations contemplate HCI investments, many are looking to avoid proprietary lock-in—and traditional proprietary storage solutions.

Red Hat® Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization is an ideal solution for business-critical applications in virtualized environments, as well as for various tactical edge deployment scenarios. Built on the strengths of Red Hat Virtualization, Red Hat Gluster® Storage, and Red Hat Ansible® Automation, Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization simplifies planning and procurement, streamlines deployment and management, and provides a single life-cycle experience for virtual compute and virtual storage resources. Compute, storage, and management components are all open source, and organizations can choose among industry-standard hardware or implement validated configurations that best meet their workload needs.

IT is a critical partner for business transformation, but you can’t deliver transformation solely on traditional, proprietary infrastructure.

While you may be eager to adopt new technologies, many critical processes rely on existing systems. You need a solution that will modernize what you have for greater efficiency and accelerate your cloud-native and container future with greater agility.

When any organization starts planning for cloud-native applications, it is important to consider the entire time span: from selecting a development platform until an application is truly production-grade and ready for delivery in the cloud. It can be a long journey, with many decisions along the way that can help or hinder progress.

Industries are being disrupted with unexpected competition requiring IT departments to become agile in responding to meet evolving business needs. Enterprise IT is transforming by taking a fresh approach and leveraging modern tools to help developers become more efficient in delivering innovative solutions. Leveraging analytics from increasing volumes of data to automate common processes is increasingly becoming the new normal for intelligent applications. Application platforms supporting an architecture that gives developers a wide choice of components across hybrid cloud infrastructure are a preferred path in the enterprise cloud adoption journey.

For the majority of organizations, digital business means pivoting to a culture of organizational agility, where the rapid pace of demand can only be satisfied by faster and more flexible development and delivery models. As most organizations do not have the luxury of completely rebuilding their technology foundation or immediately adopting new practices and mindsets, they are embracing gradual yet fundamental shifts in culture, processes, and technology to support greater velocity and agility.
