Adapting to fast-paced technology innovation

Soft Platform, a subsidiary of Youngwoo Digital, develops information and communications technology (ICT), mainly AI frameworks for rapid development through graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration. 

The company sought to keep pace with rapidly changing market demand for innovation, such as machine learning (ML). As part of this focus, Soft Platform wanted to accelerate its adoption of open-source-based cloud and container orchestration technology.

Engaging in all-access training with Red Hat

Soft Platform engaged Red Hat Training to provide expert, hands-on instruction on new technology and IT approaches, including hybrid cloud infrastructure, cloud-native development, and automation. Its teams used Red Hat Learning Subscription to access live virtual training, recorded videos, demonstrations, and more, including the following courses:

• Red Hat OpenStack® Administration I (CL110).
• Red Hat OpenStack Administration II (CL210).
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux® Diagnostics and Troubleshooting (RH342).
• Red Hat Virtualization (RH318).
• Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration (RH403).
