Cloud-based infrastructure investments are a priority for organizations as they shift toward open hybrid and multicloud deployments. “Hybrid” means organizations can implement cloud with one foot in the datacenter, while “open” allows for portability across on- and off-premise environments and providers. When done right, these open environments provide the ability for uninterrupted integration of services and interoperability, allowing for greater agility and speed of deployment. They can also unlock access to optimal services and applications, along with options specifically designed to meet industry requirements.
Join IDC and Red Hat to discover how enterprise Linux® can serve as the backbone for your hybrid cloud environments.
In this webinar, you'll learn more about:
- Enterprise Linux and its relevance for hybrid and multicloud deployments
- Solving cloud’s biggest challenges with enterprise Linux
- Readying cloud investments for the future with enterprise Linux
