It’s no secret – the tech industry is rapidly adopting agentic software development to convert business processes into fully autonomous, agentic workflows. While the power of these tools is undeniable, the current consumption models present a challenge. Most of these solutions are delivered leveraging a model-as-a-service approach that’s poised to trigger an AI version of the cloud paradox: The agentic paradox.The paradox is simple. The fastest path to increase the velocity of your business processes is to use powerful frontier models. However, as adoption scales, this strategy becomes u

As AI compute and storage have evolved to become abstracted, multi-tenant, and automated, AI infrastructure now demands accelerated networking that delivers the same levels of automation, orchestration, and multi-tenancy across fabrics spanning NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand, NVIDIA NVLink, and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs. Yet many deployments still rely on fragmented, manually provisioned network environments that struggle to provide the scalability, operational efficiency, and workload isolation required for regulated and sovereign AI deployments. Red Hat is teaming with Net

For teams running virtualization estates of any size today, three pressures are converging at once. Hardware budgets that looked generous in late 2024 have been blindsided by memory costs, turning routine refreshes into financial hurdles. Licensing models have moved in directions most renewal cycles weren't built to absorb. And in many organizations, leadership has moved from "how do we plan the next infrastructure refresh," to "how can we get more out of the infrastructure already in place?" These pressures are not unique to virtualization, but virtualization is where they all show up at once
