Business leaders

Flexibility is key for businesses trying to stay competitive in times of rapid change. Business leaders need a platform that helps them respond quickly to the demands of the market. And when resources are limited, they need to put the right people to work on the right tasks. Red Hat cloud services helps them empower their developers and IT teams to deliver the experiences customers demand, rapidly and efficiently.

IT operations leaders

IT and infrastructure teams are focused on delivering on-demand, consistent, cost-effective, secure and resilient infrastructure. They need to ensure technology supports the needs of the business, while also prioritizing security, stability, and governance. A unified application platform for hybrid cloud helps them meet these goals.

Developers

Developers aim to deploy features and updates faster—and they can increase speeds when security and operations concerns (DevSecOps) are handled at the platform level. Development teams can benefit from familiar languages and tools, the latest technologies, and a fully integrated software factory, pipelines, and SDLC (software development life cycle). Cloud services can help developers focus on deploying value-add applications, rather than infrastructure.

Platform architects

Platform architects and DevOps engineers are often responsible for leading digital transformation efforts, including enabling change through workflows, tools, and pipelines. Their goal is to ensure the organization gains a competitive advantage by letting developers focus on new or improved applications, rather than infrastructure. A cloud services platform built on Red Hat helps achieve these goals.

Red Hat Cloud Services include hosted and managed platform, application, and data services that accelerate time to value and reduce the operational cost and complexity of delivering cloud-native applications. Organizations can confidently build and scale applications with a streamlined experience across services and hybrid cloud environments while Red Hat manages the rest.
