SHOW ME MORE
I’m curious about an open source approach to cloud.
I want to find a cloud strategy that fits my business.
Change is unavoidable, especially for the technology-driven enterprise. No matter your industry, users demand new, groundbreaking solutions, and you’re challenged to deliver—ahead of your competition. Are you agile enough to keep up?
Legacy systems can hold organizations back from their full potential due to interoperability, cumbersome complexity, and inconsistency—all of which eliminate ideas before they can even be considered. In response, IT leaders are turning to cloud services to rapidly modernize and seize opportunities. However, the cloud isn’t enough when your business-critical solutions can't connect.
Success requires a new approach—to technology, tools, and IT culture.
The open source approach to hybrid
cloud combines technology, processes,
and culture to meet the business needs
of today while laying the foundation for
continued, rapid innovation—no matter
what comes next.

Your datacenter on cloud
" We want to gain a competitive advantage by working with the best platform, partners, and talent. Being an enterprise with many years of history is not a guarantee of success. Adapting quickly to this digital transformation is a must for our organization. The moment is now—tomorrow could be too late."
José María Ruesta Global Head of Infrastructure, Service, and Open Systems, BBVA

Introduction to hybrid cloud strategy
Cloud technology provides new levels of flexibility, agility, and scalability, while streamlining the adoption of modern practices such as continuous deployment, virtualization, and containerization.
As the world gets more connected, and businesses reach for global market share, IT leaders look for the best solution to keep up with the high demands and shifting needs of their lines of business and their customers. Hybrid cloud provides a mixture of public and private cloud resources, connected and managed by a single management solution. With a cloud foundation in place, you can work nimbly across private and public cloud solutions to find the best fit for every workload and integration touchpoint.
From securing geographic borders
to moving and modernizing workloads,
organizations around the world use open
source to optimize their enterprises.
ACCORDING TO IDC, BY THE YEAR 2020:1
• Combined spending on private and public cloud will eclipse traditional datacenter spending.
• Public cloud will account for about 32% of IT infrastructure spending.
• Private cloud will take about 20% of the budget.
1 RightScale, "2019 State of Cloud Report," January 2019. https://www.rightscale.com/lp/state-of-the-cloud 2 Cloud Technology Partners, “Cloud Economics – Are You Get-ting the Bigger Picture?,” September 2018. https://www.cloudtp.com/doppler/cloud-economics-getting-bigger-picture/
But it’s not all about spending—it’s what you save that counts. A recent Cloud Technology Partners report stated that the average reduction of total cost of ownership (TCO) among cloud adopters was:2
42%in financial services
42%in manufacturing
40%in technology
37%in communications

Start your cloud journey with a Red Hat® Cloud Discovery Session.
GET STARTED
Optimization is a term that’s often used in discussions about IT strategy, and it’s the core principle behind agile platforms and teams. But how can an organization achieve total optimization across the enterprise without giving up on current initiatives and ignoring customer demands? With open source technology, tools, and talent, your workload-driven cloud strategy results in faster time to value, rapid scalability, and dependable availability, which optimizes your entire enterprise.
Optimization starts with determining
where to put every workload for
maximum performance.

Build a private cloud
Start building your private cloud with Red Hat.
LEARN MORE
Many industries fall under strict regulatory compliance and security guidelines that seem to put a cloud solution out of reach. Even with mature clouds that boast enterprise-level security, some data and workloads must remain on-premise. With a private cloud implemented using open source tools and practices, you can reduce costs by reusing existing hardware while providing a foundation for increased deployment agility and speed—all while maintaining a firm grasp on your security and compliance.
A private cloud can help you scale
up, increase security, and speed
delivery. Unite the elasticity of
public cloud with the security of
traditional infrastructure. No matter
which regulatory compliance and
security measures you're bound
to, private cloud is your best option
for modernization.
• Unified management across your on-premise, virtualized, and public cloud environments.
• A complete solution, including compute, network, storage, management, and automation, engineered together from a single provider.
• Continued control over security and compliance.
• A marked increase in stability, agility, and availability.

Deploy a multicloud container platform
Accelerate innovation with a multicloud platform.
LEARN MORE
Achieving a consistent application development and deployment process across all private and public clouds can pose a big challenge, especially while avoiding vendor lock-in so you can lower costs. The secret to a successful multicloud container platform comes down to unified management. With the right foundation, you can construct a common platform from development to production that streamlines your development cycles, so you can release better code, faster.
The unified orchestration,
security, and control that container
application and services offer across
on-premise, public, private, and
multicloud environments provide
a seamless evolution from cloud-ready
to cloud-native.
Unified management, automation,
and portability across public and
private clouds.
Consistency on a common platform, from
development to production.
A reliable, high-performance
platform that can scale out across cloud
environments.
MULTICLOUD SUCCESS MEANS:
" Modern IT often requires open solutions designed to meet the requirements of today and well into the future.

Why open source?
Open source software ends vendor lock-in. It shifts the power of technology from IT providers to the people using it.
Cloud technology is built for agility, allowing you to rapidly respond to changes and scale in the face of increased user demands. However, not all cloud strategies are created equally. Without careful planning, you could find yourself locked into specific vendors, which results in the same lack of agility you experience with on-premise solutions.
An open source approach helps you create deeper value in your hybrid cloud implementation by adopting a DevOps culture and modern practices such as containerization, continuous deployment, management automation, and analytics-driven decision making.
INTEROPERABILITY: THE KEY TO HYBRID CLOUD
Operating system consistency, reliability, and flexibility determine the connections between public and private clouds. That interoperability is the only way to make hybrid clouds work. If you use the same operating system to build your private cloud, host workloads in a public cloud, and bind them into a hybrid cloud, then your environments will provide a seamless customer experience.
Every cloud is unique. That means the foundation of your cloud needs to do everything—like open
source Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When you choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you get a 10-year life cycle and application-stable updates, superior performance, and advocacy in open source communities.
Red Hat’s integrated suite of open software combines a modern application development
platform and massively scalable cloud infrastructure with a unified management framework
that allows your workloads to be deployed across any cloud environment.
