We revolutionised the operating system with Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®. Now, we have a broad portfolio, including hybrid cloud infrastructure, middleware, agile integration, cloud-native application development, and management and automation solutions. With Red Hat technologies, companies can successfully adapt as business becomes more digital and interconnected.
We are Red Hat. We've been here for more than 25 years, and we're here to help you face your business challenges head-on.

Transform your cloud approach with the flexibility of an open hybrid cloud architecture. We will discuss the typical journey we have seen customers adopt, as they unlock the cloud operating model.

Now is the time the cloud needs to work. To thrive in an era of multi-cloud architecture, driven by digital transformation. Enterprise IT needs to evolve away from ITIL-based control points with its focus on cost optimization, toward becoming self-service enablers focused on speed optimization. Adopting a new cloud operating model may be challenging so we embark on simplifying at first and continuously optimize - optimize the easy thing.
 
Speed development, testing, and automated continuous-integration and continuous-delivery CI/CD pipelines. Increase collaboration and adopt DevSecOps approaches with a platform that unites development, operations, and security teams. Reduce development and deployment risks with consistency across development, test, and production environments.

Optimize the Easy Thing, Cloud Native Operations.

Optimize the Easy Thing, Cloud Native Operations

Increasingly complex, heterogeneous IT environments require Financial Institutions to manage multiple dependencies between Infrastructure, Platform, Application and Data. This creates risk for misconfigurations which could compromise the availability, integrity or confidentiality of information assets and requires FIs to continuously manage and monitor the technology platform and remediate immediately any deviation against approved standards and baselines.  With financial services being considered as critical infrastructure, Financial Institutions also need to establish strong controls around their software application development and delivery, in particular with regards to change management. However as business transformation initiatives drive the requirement for continuous delivery of new or improved digital services, there is a need for greater operational agility through streamlining technology operations, including breaking the traditional barriers between development and infrastructure teams to enable easy self-provisioning of infrastructure and platform resources.  Finally, as cloud strategies are gradually evolving towards a hybrid, multi-cloud model with institutions managing workloads across public cloud, private cloud and their own data centres, financial regulators require FIs to manage their cyber security operations with a unified view of their infrastructure and build capabilities to manage cloud resilience as well as vendor lock-in and concentration risks. This requires a centralized, unified approach towards infrastructure management and platform deployment that reduces dependencies on the underlying infrastructure.  By adopting DevOps practices and using automation, FIs can ensure that their management of infrastructure, platform and application deployment is efficient, error-free and supports their stringent requirements for resilience.

CentOS Stream and Red Hat: A dual play

Enforce architecture with standardized services. When the platform enforces standards, developers can focus on domain logic instead of design patterns. We have gathered a panel comprising of your peers and an expert from Red Hat, join us as they discuss:
 
Why your organisation should consider adopting an API first mindset?

API first thinking means that your API is the first interface of your applications. This means that the people developing against your API are your users, and your API needs to be designed with those users in mind.  With the native cloud architecture at their disposal, businesses can certainly focus more on their strategic needs, taking advantage of the best business opportunities available to continue their growth and prosperity.
 
How can you maximize the capabilities of your platform?

Your platform is not an off-the-shelf piece of software; it is an evolving set of reusable services, integrated with your existing systems, that creates valuable outcomes for your business. The platform’s capabilities should change in response to the needs of its users. Your platform should be treated as a product.
 
How can you improve the effectiveness of your team at maintaining stable solutions - avoiding unplanned downtime and security breaches?

The Continuous Delivery Pipeline requires the production environment to be continually stable, reliable, available, supportable and secure. How effective are your teams at maintaining stable solutions that avoid unplanned downtime and security breaches.
Solution architectures are the detailed and structured descriptions of the features, process, and behaviour of a solution. It acts as the base of the solution to define, deliver, manage and operate the development process of the solution. It identifies the alternatives of the solutions and its components.

Make the right thing easy, Architecture makes it easier to build things well

There are many things to consider when managing a big infrastructure that could be in the Hybrid Cloud. Automation tooling should help to take care of configuration drifts between the servers (physical or virtual), network switches, platforms, clusters, or application settings.

But why is managing configuration drifts important for your Automation? How to make the most out of Automation tooling and come out as a winner?

In this session, our Automation experts will address how by extending the value of your Hybrid Cloud and simplifying repetitive, complex, and tedious tasks you can focus on revenue-generating activities and strategic initiatives.

Strategies in Automation to Achieve Business Innovation

One of the most critical elements of a Digital Transformation is momentum. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward successful transformation?

Sometimes thinking too much can destroy your momentum; and when it comes to implementing new digital initiatives, many organizations struggle to understand what their current level of performance is; and where to focus their efforts in order to demonstrate value to senior stakeholders. 

How do you remove as much friction as possible from your user digital experience? We have experienced five major categories of transformation failure: leadership, product, development, architecture, and operations. What started as a conversational explanation of these failure patterns has evolved into a simple framework focused on the five elements to discuss organizational capabilities, risks, and remediations.

Building a future-proof platform for cloud-native application development

The rise of cloud computing promises automated operations, increased resiliency and scalability enabling enterprises to modernise applications as well as create innovative new applications. However this move to 'cloud-native' comes with increased complexity and security concerns - challenges that can be addressed with a managed application platform. In our IDC virtual research briefing we’ll share insights on how using OpenShift on a public cloud like AWS lets developers and business leaders take advantage of the benefits of a cloud-native approach - all without the concern of managing and supporting the underlying infrastructure. We’ll also discuss the cultural shifts required along the digital transformation journey to ensure the successful adoption of such new technologies.

Join our experts and IDC to understand how enterprises are delivering business outcomes of improved revenue, market share, time to market and customer satisfaction by transitioning to cloud-native to develop and run their applications.

Cultural & Technology Shifts in the Digital Transformation Journey

Many organisations rely on the cloud to provide efficient, scalable, and resilient infrastructure for ever-evolving business demands. The growth of hybrid cloud - where organisations leverage more than one cloud provider - leads to increased complexity and security concerns.
 
Organisations are turning to Kubernetes in an attempt to simplify consuming cloud resources, but Kubernetes alone is not easy to get “enterprise ready”. To successfully deliver cloud-native workloads you need to provide additional components like logging, monitoring, developer services as well as unified governance and management across multiple clouds.

Red Hat OpenShift is a complete Application Platform - based on Kubernetes -  that helps organisations build, deploy and manage their Cloud Native Applications. Red Hat OpenShift delivered a Managed Service further reduces operational complexity allowing you to focus resources on delivering value to customers.

As part of this session, you will learn how our Managed OpenShift offerings accelerate innovation:
- Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO)
- Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA)
- Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud (RHOIC)
- OpenShift Dedicated (OSD) on AWS and GCP

Is your competitive differentiator managing a Kubernetes platform or is it the innovative applications and faster time to market that give you the competitive advantage?

A common challenge in adopting a modern hybrid cloud environment is modernizing applications built to run in virtual machines (VMs), which have lots of legacy dependencies. While the promise of containers and Kubernetes is enticing, getting there can feel daunting. What if you could run your VM-based applications alongside your newer, container-based applications and retool them at your own pace?

Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization, based on the open source project KubeVirt, supports VMs running within Kubernetes and a Kubernetes management paradigm. End users can manage both VMs and containers in a single control plane giving them the flexibility to modernize their applications over time or continue to support them in VMs. Choosing the right underlying storage to deploy these applications can deliver a more effective and efficient solution for your business.

In this webinar, we’ll review OpenShift Virtualization and describe how Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage plays an important role in simplifying management and improving performance of VM and container workloads.

We’ll explore:
●   Trends in application modernization and their implications on containers and VMs.
●   Managing containers and virtual machines together with OpenShift Virtualization.
●   Why OpenShift Container Storage for OpenShift Virtualization.
●   Demo of installing, configuring, and managing OpenShift Virtualization and OpenShift Container
Storage, including live VM migration.
