What we're doing together
Building the next-generation data center
Next-generation datacenters require IT organizations to evolve from the classic model of designing, building, and running applications into an agile organization—using disruptive technologies, such OpenStack® and enterprise storage solutions offered by NetApp and Red Hat.
NetApp’s innovative open source technologies include enterprise storage solutions, combined with Red Hat® OpenStack Platform, Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat Ansible Automation, management and orchestration tools, and solutions built on FlexPod converged infrastructure.
Red Hat and NetApp continue to expand our partnership in areas important to our customers, with an emphasis on self-service IT, DevOps, and software-defined infrastructure as critical functions of the next-generation datacenter.
Enterprises and service providers are rapidly embracing open source tools and technologies that allow them to deliver services with greater speed and agility than ever before. Red Hat’s innovation in open source software, coupled with NetApp’s leadership in OpenStack’s Cinder project and agile flash storage, ensure customers can rapidly, confidently, and seamlessly transition to the next-generation datacenter.
