In line with its participation, Red Hat will offer live demonstrations, deep dives into product offerings and the chance to interact with its experts to explore customised solutions that drive operational efficiency, agility, and innovation.
Expanding the Open Hybrid Cloud Vision
Central to Red Hat’s participation will be its open hybrid cloud strategy, which continues to reshape the future of IT. Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and powered by technologies such as OpenShift, Red Hat’s hybrid cloud platform enables businesses to seamlessly integrate their on-premises infrastructure with public cloud environments, ensuring consistency, scalability and enhanced security.
During GITEX, Red Hat will also explore the ways in which the hybrid cloud enables businesses to future-proof their operations, reduce costs and ensure they remain competitive in an increasingly digital-first world. Visitors can understand the potential of Red Hat’s solutions in empowering businesses across industries, including finance, healthcare and telecommunications, to embrace the cloud journey with confidence and control.
Driving Automation and Security
As businesses move to the cloud and digitalise their operations, automation and security are key concerns. Amid this, Red Hat will highlight its open-source automation tools, such as Ansible Automation Platform, which plays a substantial role in helping organisations automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows and improve operational efficiency.
In addition, Red Hat will exhibit its commitment to ensuring that security remains a priority in every layer of an organisation’s IT infrastructure. With solutions that integrate security as part of the development process (DevSecOps), Red Hat helps enterprises safeguard their digital assets while enabling faster delivery of applications and services.
The Power of Collaboration
Red Hat’s open-source philosophy is not just about technology, it is about building ecosystems of collaboration. At GITEX, Red Hat will shed light on its partnerships with both customers and industry leaders and its role in driving co-creation and innovation. From contributing to upstream open-source projects to working hand-in-hand with partners in various sectors, Red Hat’s collaborative approach is redefining the way technology is developed and deployed.
This year’s event will include a range of sessions and panel discussions with active participation of Red Hat executives and partners. During the sessions, they will share their expertise on the latest technological trends, customer success stories, and the future of IT infrastructure. These engagements are designed to inspire businesses to adopt open-source strategies that fuel long-term innovation.
