Smart cities. Connected vehicles. Autonomous manufacturing and agriculture. Modern cloud-native technologies like virtualization, containers, microservices, and hyperautomation are redefining the capabilities of telecommunications networks from the core to the edge. Service providers are using open source advancements (particularly in 5G and edge technologies) and a mature and growing partner ecosystem to remake themselves and the industries around them.

Red Hat® OpenShift® AI is a flexible, scalable MLOps platform with tools to build, deploy, and manage AI-enabled applications. Built using open source technologies, it provides trusted, operationally consistent capabilities for teams to experiment, serve models, and deliver innovative apps.

OpenShift AI (previously called Red Hat OpenShift Data Science) supports the full lifecycle of AI/ML experiments and models, on-premise and in the public cloud.

This Tech Talk will provide:
- An overview of Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI)
- An understanding of Gen AI and how to fine-tune LLaMA2-7B models
- Guidance on how to run inference on RHOAI
- An exploration of pipeline features specific to OpenShift AI

Telco Tech Talk: Unlocking GenAI

The telecommunications industry will benefit greatly from cloud and container technologies. Only about a quarter of telecommunications companies have adopted a hybrid cloud strategy already, and many others are beginning to move from network function virtualization (NFV) architectures to cloud-native approaches based on containers and microservices to further increase speed, efficiency, and agility.


Watch this webinar to learn more about:
• How the move towards containers and microservices will help service providers deliver their services faster.
• How cloud-native tools and methodologies including the use of hybrid cloud, artificial intelligence, automation and analytics will create data-driven insights for hyper-personalized experiences and operational excellence.
• How network and application transformation will be imperative to monetize 5G investments.

Why telecommunication providers need to prepare for cloud-native innovation

How do you justify investments in new, cloud-native application platforms while maintaining existing infrastructure and tools? In this webinar, Red Hat and our guest speakers from Forrester will discuss how to approach business value assessments of modern platforms. We’ll look at the Forrester Total Economic ImpactTM (TEI) methodology and share customer examples from Red Hat’s experience.In this panel discussion, we’ll also take a detailed look at the commissioned Forrester Consulting study, “The Total Economic ImpactTM of Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus”. We’ll share data collected from customer interviews, showing how a composite organization was able to achieve a 203% return on investment (ROI) in 3 years by increasing developer productivity, reducing costs, and decreasing risks.

In this panel webinar, we’ll cover:
● How to analyze the business value of cloud-native platform technology investments.
● Forrester’s TEI methodology for calculating benefits.
● Customer data and examples showing the ROI of Red Hat® OpenShift® Platform Plus.

The value of a cloud-native application platform (Forrester TEI)

With technology constantly evolving, it’s on all of us to know what’s happening now and help shape what’s coming next. The entire industry has embraced Kubernetes. Choosing a Kubernetes application platform is an important decision that will impact your ability to deliver mission-critical capabilities for years to come.

In this webinar with Red Hat’s Senior Director, Eamon McCormick, will focus on everything you have to consider when making this critical choice in support of speed, stability, security, and scale for your organization.

In this session we will cover:

• How the right application platform can aid modernization efforts
• What leading research companies have to say about container platforms
• Real-world transformation use cases

Choosing the right Kubernetes application platform for your mission

When we talk about the recipe for how agencies can modernize their applications, no one-size-fits-all solution exists, but the need to build smarter, more agile applications is becoming increasingly critical. Modernizing your existing applications on a cloud-native platform allows you to accelerate your application delivery, align your technology agility with business agility, and increase operational efficiency. In other words, it’s a way to move faster without leaving behind the tools you depend on. So how do you begin to develop a plan for modernizing applications in the cloud?

The development life cycle, from code to production, with Red Hat OpenShift

Across industries, organizations are moving to a cloud environment to achieve digital business goals. In fact, 87% of organizations have a multicloud strategy in place, and 50% of enterprise workloads run in a public cloud today.1Your operating system (OS) forms the foundation for your entire environment—security, management, portability, and life cycle planning—starting with the OS. Standardizing on a single Linux® distribution as the foundation across your datacenter and cloud environments can greatly simplify your cloud journey.Even so, not all Linux distributions offer the features, capabilities, and resources needed to operate effectively and efficiently in hybrid and multicloud environments.In this webinar series, you’ll learn how Red Hat® Enterprise Linux delivers more value for your organization, providing a flexible, stable, and reliable foundation for hybrid and multicloud environments. This cloud-ready, security-focused OS provides a consistent, tailored experience across your cloud investments.

● Trends seen by Forrester in the Linux space.
● Why enterprise Linux offers safer innovation.
● Increased business agility to deploy workloads in less time.
● Enhanced security with a trustworthy platform.
● How to mitigate skills gaps.
● Operational efficiency through standardization and consistency

Linux dominates the IT landscape. Is your environment consistent and protected?

All businesses engage in significant digital transformation to remain competitive. This form oftransformation should be seen as a continual adaptation to an ever-changing environmentrather than as a one-time event. For communications service providers (CSPs), the need fortransformation is evident in the operational support systems (OSS) and business supportsystems (BSS) that are critical to operating and monetizing increasingly sophisticated services provided by software-powered networks.Join this webinar to discover how CSPs can build a software platform for continued, sustainable digital transformation that is ready and able to adapt to constantly evolving requirements.
