Why Red Hat?

UNIFY

We participate in promising open source projects and determine which bits best serve enterprise needs. We gather the code and connect developer communities to the customers who need their innovations.

SIMPLIFY

We freeze a stable version of a code base. Then we test it, remove bugs, modify it to be secure, and harden it for enterprise use. When we know it will work―after it has been benchmarked against enterprise and security requirements―a project becomes a product, and we release a standardized version tailored for enterprise use.

CERTIFY

We test and certify that thousands of mainstream applications will work with our software on dozens of hardware platforms. We provide our software via subscription, along with access to our Knowledgebase, 24x7 service, support, and an enduring direct connection to the creators and other users of your technology.

"We meet with Red Hat engineers on a regular basis to discuss key projects as well as initiatives we’re considering in the future. That’s why they’re more than a vendor… That’s why their products continue to provide such significant value to our business." Read the case study
