Long‑lasting transformers and short‑lifecycle IT are not a natural pairing. Utilities run process installations designed to last for decades, while the control software ages far faster. Deferring replacement isn’t an option, because operations must stay online with up‑to‑date security. So how do you resolve this? How can you procure operational technology (OT) – the technology that runs the power grid – today with confidence it will still run reliably by 2035? Alliander found a way.Dutch energy infrastructure was built to last for decades, with assets such as power transformers a

When we build a new major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), our engineering teams learn a lot about what modern IT demands and what customers need to thrive. Those lessons shape the new capabilities and features we tout on the Red Hat Summit stage at launch. After the celebration of a launch, of course, comes the work of bringing those new capabilities to more RHEL customers by building them into previous editions. Today, with the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7, some of the most important security features of RHEL 10 are available to more people who need them.Cryptography for

Many existing and popular workloads are getting infused and enhanced with AI, and there will likely emerge a new wave of AI applications in the future. This has led to the increasing importance of AI accelerators, including graphics processing units (GPU) and custom training and inference engines.

For most large-scale enterprises today, the hybrid cloud isn't a strategy, it’s just the reality. Most organizations are running in both worlds: they have modern, cloud-native applications in containers, and critical, often mission-critical, systems in virtual machines (VMs).The reality is that running two separate virtualization stacks creates silos, complexity, and unnecessary operational cost – what can be called the complexity tax. It slows down your operations and application teams, strains budgets, and ultimately makes it harder to deliver value to the business.We recently spoke with

The demand to extend applications to the edge has never been greater. From retail shops to industrial and manufacturing sites, there's a need to create, consume, and store data at the edge. Deploying applications at the edge comes with a set of physical constraints, but also with the need to deliver a truly cost-efficient and resilient architecture. When building applications at the edge, you must consider the needs of the individual site as well as the cost to deploy, manage, and maintain applications across multiple edge locations.The good news is that Red Hat OpenShift is evolving to meet t

The speed of innovation in large language models (LLMs) is astounding, but as enterprises move these models into production, the conversation shifts - it’s no longer just about raw scale; it’s about per-token efficiency and smart, targeted compute use.Simply put, not all prompts require the same level of reasoning. If a user has a simple request, like, "What is the capital of North Carolina?" a multi-step reasoning process required for say, a financial projection, isn’t necessary. If organizations use heavyweight reasoning models for every request, the result is both costly and inefficie
