Industrial sector
Grow your competitive advantage
The convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) is not only driving modern industrial growth, it’s accelerating it. Don't let legacy infrastructure slow your innovation.
Modernize your infrastructure without starting over
Organizations in the industrial sector are undergoing a rapid shift in how they manage their industrial systems to support production and distribution. Companies risk being left behind unless they can bridge the gap between new technology and their legacy infrastructure.
Red Hat has 20 years of experience integrating these two worlds, maximizing efficiency and scale through its ecosystem of cloud, automation, AI, and other platform solutions. Red Hat helps businesses operating from the edge by simplifying operations that are increasingly reliant on complex processes.
Open Source Software in Manufacturing Operations
Experience operational efficiency without the complexity
Bridge IT and OT to deliver operational consistency
As informational and operational technology environments converge, organizations need a consistent, secure, and scalable foundation. Built on an open, software-defined architecture, Red Hat’s Advanced Compute Platform (ACP) unifies data, controls, and analytics across hybrid and edge environments. Industrial organizational leaders can modernize their operations with confidence, while improving data use for real-time insights and predictive maintenance.
Maximize business value by modernizing the industrial edge
Improve operational agility with network automation
Maintain uptime across industrial systems by automating your network management. Implementing a solution like Red Hat’s Ansible Automation Platform gives organizations the ability to automate configuration, monitoring, and lifecycle management across complex, multivendor environments. The result is a more reliable, secure, and streamlined network orchestration process that accelerates production, minimizes downtime, and improves overall operational agility.
Streamline network automation with Red Hat
Access the future of industrial controls
Organizations need tools that move them beyond proprietary, hardware-bound systems toward open, software-defined architectures that unify IT and OT, simplify lifecycle management, and enhance security across operations. With an open platform approach, teams can automate configuration, deploy software-defined controllers, orchestrate workloads across environments, and more from the datacenter to the edge.
