And even more keynotes at Red Hat Summit 2019

Every year, the mainstage at Red Hat Summit overflows with stories about the powerful role enterprise open source tools can play in a company's digital strategy.

In addition to the exciting customers who will be joining us, these Red Hat executives will also take the main stage: Marco Bill-Peter, senior vice president, Customer Experience and Engagement (CEE); Leigh Day, vice president, Marketing Communications; and Denise Dumas, vice president, Operating System Platform.  

Deutsche Bank: Tom Gilbert, managing director, global head of Cloud, Application and Integration platforms

As Germany’s leading bank, Deutsche Bank embarked on a journey to become more technology-led. This required it to consolidate and simplify its application estate, improve both developer productivity and server utilization, and, in doing so, reduce the running costs of infrastructure. Gilbert will explore how Red Hat technology, including Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, has enabled Deutsche Bank to be more agile, flexible and deliver applications in weeks instead of months. In addition, he will talk about how the culture has shifted further towards an open source way of working, embracing collaborative principles and DevOps.

HCA Healthcare: Dr. Edmund Jackson, chief data scientist

Sepsis is an overwhelming response to infection that turns the body’s immune system against itself. In the absence of early detection, it can rapidly lead to tissue damage, severe organ failure and death. As one of the nation’s leading providers of healthcare services, HCA Healthcare is now leveraging artificial intelligence, based on data from millions of hospitalizations, to help detect sepsis up to 18 hours earlier than traditional screenings. Jackson will share how his team used Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to develop Sepsis Prediction & Optimization of Therapy (SPOT), a predictive algorithm and workflow for the early detection and treatment of sepsis that is helping to save lives.
