Making true digital transformation is difficult unless organizations in the Middle East embrace central themes such as software-defined everything, hyperscale, containers and hybrid cloud. Proprietary technology will no longer exist as a viable innovation model. Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, will participate in GITEX 2016, taking place from October 16-20, where it will demonstrate how the company’s open source technologies are helping accelerate business transformation by enabling all these trends.
Red Hat would like to offer trade visitors and media the chance to speak with Lee Miles, general manager, Middle East and Africa, at Red Hat and other senior company executives, to learn more about the technologies it will be showcasing at GITEX.
Hybrid cloud remains a focal point for Red Hat at GITEX. Hybrid clouds deliver strategic advantages to the business by redirecting resources from lights-on to innovation. They enable faster business service development and deployment and help organizations respond more quickly to opportunities and threats. Hybrid clouds reduce risk by allowing ongoing compliance and runtime management. For this, interoperability is key and this means taking a hybrid approach to managing a cloud, as enabled by open source software, open standards, open application programming interfaces (APIs), and other aspects of openness. Red Hat’s entire cloud portfolio is built around this open hybrid cloud management approach.
Another key focus at GITEX
will be on training, certifications and academies. Red Hat executives are keen to spread awareness about
Red Hat Academy, an open source education program that provides turnkey curriculum materials
for educational programs in high schools and institutions of higher
education worldwide.
