Red Hat

Red Hat is the world's leading provider of open source enterprise software solutions, with a mission to unlock the power of open source so that developers, IT teams, and enterprises can innovate and build the future of technology. Founded in 1993, Red Hat was acquired by IBM in 2019 and continues to operate as an independent subsidiary, maintaining its open source culture and customer commitments.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the cornerstone of Red Hat's portfolio and one of the most trusted operating systems for production workloads in enterprise environments. RHEL provides a stable, secure, and commercially supported foundation for running applications across physical servers, virtual machines, containers, and cloud environments. RHEL's long support lifecycle and certified hardware and software ecosystem make it the preferred Linux distribution for regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, government, and telecommunications.

Red Hat OpenShift is the enterprise Kubernetes platform that enables organizations to build, deploy, and run containerized applications across hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments. OpenShift includes developer tools, integrated CI/CD pipelines, automated operations features, and comprehensive security controls built on top of Kubernetes, making it significantly easier to adopt container-based application architectures at scale. OpenShift is available on all major public clouds as well as on-premises, enabling true hybrid cloud portability.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides enterprise-grade IT automation for infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, configuration management, and network automation. Ansible's agentless architecture and human-readable playbooks make it accessible to both developers and operations teams, and its extensive collection of certified content and integrations supports automation across virtually any IT environment.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform delivers a private cloud infrastructure based on the OpenStack project, providing compute, storage, and networking services for organizations that require on-premises cloud capabilities. Red Hat also offers Red Hat Ceph Storage for software-defined storage, Red Hat Data Grid for in-memory data caching, and Red Hat AMQ for enterprise messaging. Through its focus on upstream community participation and open governance, Red Hat ensures that its products remain aligned with the broader open source ecosystem while delivering the stability and support that enterprise customers require.
