Taming enterprise computing complexity continues to be top of mind for enterprises when deploying and running workloads.

To eliminate the hustle of rebuilding applications, maintaining disparate environments and retraining people, Red Hat Inc. offers an open hybrid cloud that enables workloads to be run consistently across various footprints, including the edge, on-premise and the cloud, according to Stefanie Chiras (pictured), senior vice president of partner ecosystem success at Red Hat.

“The real strength of open hybrid cloud is that it’s tailored to any customer for where they are on their journey and what they need to do, whether or not they want to use a managed service,” she said. “We do the backend work with Azure or with AWS to create Arrow and ROSA, respectively, if that’s what the customer chooses to do. If they want to consume RHEL, Ansible or OpenShift from the marketplace because they have a procurement arrangement … they can procure it that way.”

Chiras spoke with theCUBE industry analysts Paul Gillin and Rob Strechay at Red Hat Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud seeks to be a game-changer and the importance of the partner ecosystem. (* Disclosure below.)

Hybrid cloud is becoming intentional

To enhance satisfaction rates, businesses are adopting both hybrid and multicloud. This approach is being driven by workloads because some require on-prem presence, whereas others require larger hyperscalers, Chiras pointed out.

“They’re making procurement decisions by going in with things like committed spend with some key hyperscalers that’s guiding some decisions,” she said. “One thing I am seeing probably the strongest is that hybrid cloud is getting much more intentional and … in many cases, it’s workload driven. I do think that the world is moving into more multicloud.”

Since partner ecosystems are the new oil that drive the technology industry, Red Hat enhances them for co-created solutions, as showcased by its new ecosystem solution catalog. Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift is also a container-as-a-service solution that offers full integration of top Kubernetes orchestration stack in any private or public cloud, according to Chiras.

“One of the things that we’re announcing here at Summit is an ecosystem solution catalog,” she explained. “We’re centralizing sort of a repository searchable by customers, searchable by partners. It takes co-created solutions that we’ve done with partners and put them in one spot so they can be found, whether or not it’s a customer trying to tackle something new or a partner who will take that to go to market.”
