Change is unavoidable, especially for

the technology-driven enterprise. No
matter your industry, users demand new,
groundbreaking solutions, and you’re
challenged to deliver—ahead of your
competition. Are you agile enough to
keep up?
Legacy systems can hold organizations
back from their full potential due to
interoperability, cumbersome complexity,
and inconsistency—all of which eliminate
ideas before they can even be considered.
In response, IT leaders are turning to
cloud services to rapidly modernize and
seize opportunities. However, the cloud
isn’t enough when your business-critical
solutions can't connect.

Build a
private cloud

Many industries fall under strict

regulatory compliance and security
guidelines that seem to put a cloud
solution out of reach. Even with mature
clouds that boast enterprise-level
security, some data and workloads
must remain on-premise. With a private
cloud implemented using open source
tools and practices, you can reduce
costs by reusing existing hardware while
providing a foundation for increased
deployment agility and speed—all
while maintaining a firm grasp on
your security and compliance.
PRIVATE CLOUD SUCCESS MEANS:
• Unified management across your on-premise, virtualized,
and public cloud environments.
• A complete solution, including compute, network, storage,
management, and automation, engineered together from
a single provider.
• Continued control over security and compliance.
• A marked increase in stability, agility, and availability.
SEE THE RESULTS IN ACTION

A private cloud can help you scale

up, increase security, and speed
delivery. Unite the elasticity of
public cloud with the security of
traditional infrastructure. No matter
which regulatory compliance and
security measures you're bound
to, private cloud is your best option
for modernization.

Why open source?

Open source software ends vendor lock-in. It shifts the power

of technology from IT providers to the people using it.

Cloud technology is built for agility, allowing you to rapidly respond to changes and scale in the face
of increased user demands. However, not all cloud strategies are created equally. Without careful
planning, you could find yourself locked into specific vendors, which results in the same lack of agility
you experience with on-premise solutions.

An open source approach helps you create deeper value in your hybrid cloud implementation by
adopting a DevOps culture and modern practices such as containerization, continuous deployment,
management automation, and analytics-driven decision making.

Red Hat’s integrated suite of open software combines a modern application development
platform and massively scalable cloud infrastructure with a unified management framework
that allows your workloads to be deployed across any cloud environment.

INTEROPERABILITY: THE KEY TO HYBRID CLOUD

Operating system consistency, reliability, and flexibility determine the connections between public
and private clouds. That interoperability is the only way to make hybrid clouds work. If you use the
same operating system to build your private cloud, host workloads in a public cloud, and bind them
into a hybrid cloud, then your environments will provide a seamless customer experience.

Every cloud is unique. That means the foundation of your cloud needs to do everything—like open
source Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When you choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you get a 10-year life
cycle and application-stable updates, superior performance, and advocacy in open source communities.
