Unleashing Collaborative AI: Creating a Fast-Paced Pipeline Across the Enterprise

tbdRising costs, outdated technology, and tech sprawl are challenging IT leaders who are  trying to optimize their virtualization landscape. Strategically migrating virtual machines — and the associated technologies like containers and storage — to a modern hybrid platform is a preferred tactic for many, but presents a host of challenges: potential downtime, data integrity risks, integration and compatibility issues, and poor performance. In this webcast from Red Hat and NetApp, you’ll hear how a platform approach to virtualization can address the common challenges, while serving as a pathway to IT modernization.

Optimizing your virtual landscape — Discover a modern approach to migrating and modernizing VMs, containers and storage

AI has become an integral part of modern applications, enabling personalized experiences, predictive analytics, automation, and more. Deploying AI-enabled models requires addressing several key issues and a strategy for deployment on a purpose-built platform.  Assessing your data’s quality, volume, and relevance and choosing the right model to balance accuracy with performance is critical.  But deployment isn't just about the model—it's also about the infrastructure. Organizations must consider the compute resources, storage, and networking requirements as well as legal and ethical standards, to ensure scalability, security, flexibility and ease of use.

Red Hat helps to automate the entire AI lifecycle from model development to deployment and monitoring, leading to more reliable AI applications and quicker iteration cycles. This enables organizations to build, deliver, and manage their own AI-enabled applications and services across any cloud, on-premise, or edge environment

Join this webinar to learn about:

-Key considerations before deployment
-Choosing a platform for AI deployment
-Deployment strategies and best practices

Deploying containerized AI-enabled applications

Technology breakthroughs are democratizing AI and making it more accessible to build gen AI applications and organizations are now more prepared than ever to take advantage of this innovation,  but they still struggle to realize value quickly. 

Lack of collaboration between AI developers/data sciences, app developers and IT cause friction that creates bottlenecks. AI development is a process, not a singular step and it requires organizations to operationalize AI development through a MLOps process in collaboration with their DevOps workflows.

Join this webinar to learn how Red Hat helps organizations to enable the right technology and involve the right people to realize value faster from AI with a common modular, composable platform to build, train, tune, serve, deploy, monitor and manage AI workloads in any environment.  You will learn how Red Hat’s approach: 

-Simplifies adoption and reduces cost
-Supports existing use cases as well as future innovation
-Accelerates AI across the hybrid cloud

Simplify AI Adoption for faster time to value

Generative AI (GenAI) has changed the game in terms of new products and service offerings, improved customer experiences, and accelerating efficiency and productivity, but the technology is changing rapidly.  Enterprise organizations of every size are under pressure to identify, choose, build, and deliver these AI solutions. They need ready-to-use solutions that provide a quick ramp up and allow scaling at their own pace without making large investments or having a strong AI knowledge base.

The key challenges that they face include: 
-Option fatigue. They are met with too many options and approaches for getting started with their AI projects.
-Budget, hardware, and data requirements. There is no one-answer-fits-all solution. Both predictive and generative AI models require large data sets, skilled personnel, and specialty hardware and deciding where to train or deploy models can affect budget, hardware accessibility, and data concerns.
-Scale across the model and application lifecycle.. Once models are ready to be incorporated into existing and new applications, then a new set of challenges arises such as: scalability, resource management (storage and hardware), lifecycle management, and monitoring. As more and more applications are modernized with AI, enterprise organizations will need to consider the impact on IT operations and the effort it takes to manage and automate the lifecycle of both models and applications.

Join this Red Hat webinar to learn how Red Hat’s approach to AI helps organizations overcome the challenges of getting started quickly and scaling AI deployments consistently with enterprise-ready, curated open source AI innovation.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an add-on component to Red Hat OpenShift that allows you to run virtualized workloads in the same infrastructure as your existing containerized workloads. For those who are already familiar with OpenShift, the concepts and tools you already know can be applied directly to running virtual machines on your existing infrastructure, affording you the opportunity to lift-and-shift virtual machines into OpenShift and then containerize those applications without huge changes to your infrastructure. In a live demo, which is the first in a two-part series on OpenShift Virtualization and migrations, we will explain the installation and configuration of the OpenShift Virtualization operator, as well as the creation and management of virtual machines. In part two, we will discuss the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization that will allow you to migrate virtual machines at scale into your new OpenShift Virtualization environment.

Introduction to OpenShift Virtualization

In the rapidly evolving IT landscape, modernizing your infrastructure from traditional virtualization platforms is critical for staying competitive. However, such migrations can often be complex, time-consuming, and fraught with risks of downtime.
Join us for a live webinar on [date], where we will introduce you to the Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) — a comprehensive set of tools designed to simplify and accelerate the migration of virtual machines (VMs) from alternative virtualization platforms to OpenShift Virtualization.
This session will cover everything from planning your migration and configuring the necessary environments to executing and validating the migration with minimal service disruption. Our experts will demonstrate how MTV automates many of the migration tasks, reducing the manual effort required and simplifying such transitions.` 

Whether you’re looking to move from Red Hat Virtualization, VMware, or even exploring the possibilities with OpenStack, this webinar will provide you with practical insights and real-world examples to ensure your migration is successful - and leverage tools such as Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to scale.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how the Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Virtualization can enhance your IT infrastructure’s efficiency and scalability. Reserve your spot now and start your journey towards a smoother, more efficient migration.

Today’s IT landscape requires efficient innovation and adaption, but it can be challenging. Organizations have to balance existing system maintenance with new innovation and technology modernization efforts—without disrupting the speed of business or causing friction between IT teams—and, if you’re running CentOS Linux®, you may also need to implement an unplanned operating system (OS) migration.

In this session, we’ll introduce three ways to modernize and standardize your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux environment that leads to streamlined automation and management as well as accelerated application development and deployment.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

• Convert2RHEL: Standardize on a single platform to empower IT teams to share knowledge and work together on development and deployment as well as efficiently move applications and workloads across footprints.
• LEAPP: In-place upgrades give you access to all the latest functionality.
• Red Hat Insights: Detect risk automatically and follow prescribed guidance to reduce downtime.

Three ways to modernize and standardize your Linux infrastructure

Migrating from CentOS Linux® to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux
