Virtualization has long been the backbone of IT infrastructure that, at its core, is an exercise in modernisation, efficiency and value. When paired with a hybrid cloud strategy, which sees workloads live on-premise, in the cloud, and in edge environments, it transformed how enterprises manage IT resources. It helps enterprises innovate faster and adapt to increasingly complex IT ecosystems.Right now, we are seeing the virtualization landscape change rapidly, driven by new dynamics and vendor acquisitions. With this, enterprises are experiencing challenges like rising costs and struggling to r

The digital transformation opportunity has never been greater, especially with cloud now being generally embraced as an enabler. The generative AI (gen AI) boom has further sharpened the focus on modernisation as enterprises assess how they can take advantage. They want a cloud environment that offers choice, flexibility and independence to more safely experiment with, and adopt, new technologies.We set out to discover how organisations are approaching their cloud strategy into 2025, their appetite for AI, and the barriers to adoption of emerging innovations. A survey of 609 enterprise IT mana

Every year I look forward to Red Hat Summit as a moment to collaborate, innovate and gain inspiration from our partner ecosystem. Now more than ever, I am convinced that this is the age of the ecosystem. The industry is booming with emerging technologies, which are influencing organizations to rethink the ways in which they operate, optimize and scale their business. For many, this means reconciling existing systems and infrastructure with new solutions. Long gone are the days of a single datacenter and single cloud strategy.At the center of today’s IT landscape is the opportunity of artific

Between new business demands and general complexities of the modern organization, a big challenge that you’re likely facing is the need for application and infrastructure modernization.How do you balance the old and the new? VMs are a crucial part of IT environments, but containers and cloud computing have become the new norm. And what is the best and most efficient way to modernize and migrate? Answering this question becomes more difficult when you’re looking across multiple platforms and environments.To help simplify this, Red Hat AWS have partnered to help our customers take advantage

Being a cluster administrator can come with its own challenges, especially with environments that carry out-of-tree (OOT) cluster modules. Upgrading device plug-ins or different kernel versions can be prone to errors when doing so one-by-one. This is where the Kernel Module Management Operator (KMM) comes in, allowing admins to build, sign, and deploy multiple kernel versions for any kernel module.KMM is designed to accommodate multiple kernel versions at once for any kernel module. Using this operator can also leverage the hardware acceleration capabilities of Intel Center GPU Flex, allowing
