Unlock your cloud future with Red Hat and Oracle

Hybrid cloud strategies have shifted from a growing trend to a critical approach for organizations looking to run workloads where they make the most sense. These organizations need to maximize flexibility, while upholding performance and meeting governance requirements. At the same time, the rapid evolution of new technologies such as AI and the push for application modernization has created new opportunities—and new pressures—for IT teams.

To successfully fulfill hybrid cloud strategies, modernize applications, and accelerate AI adoption, organizations need flexible, cloud-agnostic platforms that provide a foundation for innovation.

Red Hat and Oracle help enterprise and public sector organizations advance their hybrid cloud, modernization, and AI strategies by offering a consistent, security-focused, cloud-native foundation that spans from the datacenter to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). By making Red Hat® solutions available on Oracle’s high-performance cloud infrastructure, Red Hat and Oracle maximize choice and flexibility for customers.

Ninety percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on solutions from Red Hat and Oracle², with many joint customers using Red Hat Enterprise Linux® as their operating system foundation in combination with a variety of Oracle software products. OCI provides them high-performing, distributed, and security-focused cloud services.

The companies’ longstanding partnership makes key Red Hat platforms available as supported solutions on OCI, and able to integrate with OCI-native tooling. This includes:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Red Hat OpenShift®, including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
• Red Hat OpenShift AI
• Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform
• Red Hat JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform

By extending the availability of key Red Hat solutions on OCI, Red Hat and Oracle offer customers a consistent, security-focused, cloud-native foundation. These solutions are available across a range of OCI cloud instances, many of which are suitable for government organizations and companies in highly regulated industries that must meet strict standards for security.

Red Hat and Oracle help organizations advance their innovation strategies in 4 key ways:

Advance AI with an end-to-end enterprise solution

Red Hat and Oracle each offer a suite of enterprise-grade solutions for AI. Red Hat supplies orchestration, deployment, and runtime management for AI through platforms like Red Hat OpenShift AI, while Oracle provides high-performance hardware, infrastructure, and data pipelines. To support joint customers’ high-performance AI workloads, Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be run on OCI Compute.

Together, their capabilities form a fully supported, interoperable AI solution that can span the entire lifecycle for joint customers. 

Maximize flexibility with distributed and multicloud support

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a consistent foundation for running any workload on any cloud, while Red Hat OpenShift offers a unified platform for building, deploying, and managing applications consistently across any environment. 

Oracle’s distributed cloud offers customers separate clouds for separate uses, with more than 150 cloud services available in any environment. Oracle also supports multicloud deployments, which allows customers to run Oracle databases within Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud. Customers can stay on their preferred cloud while continuing to use Red Hat solutions and Oracle infrastructure and services.  

Accelerate application modernization and cloud migration with greater control

Red Hat and Oracle offer customers a consistent foundation for both confidently moving workloads to the cloud and easing modernization. 

Red Hat OpenShift provides unified application development and management tools across hybrid and multicloud environments, including OCI, while Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on OCI allows customers to migrate existing VMs to OCI and run VM workloads alongside containerized applications. OCI provides high-performance, bare metal server capabilities that provide the consistent and low-latency connections required by enterprise workloads. 

The availability of Red Hat’s hybrid cloud solutions on OCI gives customers more control over their environments while letting them retain the value of their existing IT investments.

Scale up and out while improving performance and controlling costs

Red Hat and Oracle solutions offer greater flexibility and scalability of cloud capabilities, which allow joint customers to minimize wasted resources, retain existing IT investments, and optimize costs.

OCI is designed to address the requirements of enterprise applications running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Certified configurations of OCI’s flexible VMs can run Red Hat Enterprise Linux and scale in increments as small as a single central processing unit (CPU), allowing organizations to scale according to their business needs and meet changing demand while optimizing price performance.
