The industrial world runs on timing and consistency. In manufacturing and operations, a predictable outcome isn't a nice-to-have; it's the core promise of the industrial system itself. Whether you're managing complex motion control or critical process loops, network communication must be reliable and predictable. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is the essential evolution of Ethernet that brings determinism and a guaranteed delivery schedule to a standard open industrial network.But here's the reality check for information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) leaders: TSN is great fo

Generative AI demands infrastructure that’s not only powerful but repeatable, auditable, and scalable. From chat bots and content generation to intelligent automation agents, organizations are deploying AI at scale. But with this innovation comes complexity. In short, deploying generative AI isn’t just about models, it’s about managing the infrastructure and operations behind them reliably. The Red Hat Certified Collection, amazon.ai, addresses this problem by bringing infrastructure-as-code principles to AI and operational monitoring.The problem: Manual AI management doesn’t scaleEve

From remote offices to factory floors, organizations are extending their virtualization capabilities to where data is generated and consumed, unlocking new opportunities for innovation and efficiency. This shift to the edge brings a unique set of challenges, particularly for running virtualized workloads. How can you ensure the same level of resilience, performance, and simplicity for your virtual machine (VM) at the edge as you do in your core datacenters? The answer lies in a powerful combination of technologies: Red Hat’s new two-node OpenShift with arbiter architecture and Arctera's Info

In a modern cluster, the hardest problem isn’t running workloads—it's sharing resources fairly. Red Hat OpenShift clusters are seeing a surge of AI-accelerated workloads, from GPU-intensive training jobs to large batches of inference requests. At the same time, other tenants still need consistent throughput for their everyday CI/CD pipelines and data processing tasks. The result is a constant battle for resources, where some jobs wait too long, others consume more than their fair share, and administrators are left fighting bottlenecks.This is exactly the challenge that Kueue, a Kubernetes-

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

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
