Red Hat continues to drive support of an open 5G infrastructure to help drive accelerated adoption of cloud-native technologies for our communications service provider (CSP) customers and partners. As operators look to offer new revenue generating services, the importance of scalability, flexibility and security become critical for the smooth evolution of their networks. With this in mind, customers are looking for ways to deploy cloud-native technology with confidence and an open hybrid cloud foundation offers an essential tool for those deployments.

Red Hat OpenShift can match the requirements of the open RAN model, enabling telcos to build cloud-native network functions that can scale seamlessly across a network from core to edge.

Modern operations and business support systems (OSS and BSS) employ automation and flexible application integrations. Open source software from Red Hat is ideal for telecommunications and digital service providers who need to update legacy systems, integrate software using APIs, and automate IT and business processes. Learn the key benefits of working with Red Hat to cut costs and increase the reliability of fast, highly available networks.

Cloud-native adoption is a journey of gradual yet fundamental shifts. Take advantage of cloud computing model to increase speed, flexibility & quality. You can create and run innovate, differentiated apps on any public, private, or hybrid cloud with a cloud-native development platform from Red Hat.

Containers and hybrid cloud technologies have made the security landscape much more complex. Security teams are increasing finding it challenging to keep up with the changing risks, compliance requirements, tools and architectural changes introduced by these technologies. Red Hat takes a layered, defense-in-depth approach that helps customers implement security across the entire infrastructure and application and life cycle.

First, server infrastructure. Now, network infrastructure. The same benefits of Ansible for compute nodes is now extended to physical networks, software-defined networks, and cloud-based networks. How do you build out and automate those networks in a repeatable and scalable fashion? Let Ansible handle the details while you focus on your workloads.

Edge computing is an important part of an open hybrid cloud vision that allows you to achieve a consistent application and operations experience-across your entire architecture through a common, horizontal platform. We know you have many different kinds of workloads in different locations (public cloud, private cloud). Our approach helps you extend to the edge so that you can provide the experience your users expect while also addressing regulatory, resilience, and cost requirements. Red Hat’s edge computing solutions focus on making operations simpler through automated provision, management, and orchestration. Find out how you can establish a common infrastructure that stretches across your workload needs (compute, storage , and network).

In Red Hat’s annual State of Enterprise Open Source 2021 report, we surveyed global IT leadrs in the telecommunications industry. See what they told us about why they choose open source-and how and where they use it in their organizations.
