ROUTE 01

Choose Your Route

One foundation. Multiple routes forward.

RHEL helps you modernize at your pace, supporting cloud, hybrid, and edge environments without disruption.

Move Toward Modernization

Use RHEL as a launchpad for automation, increasing efficiency, reducing complexity, and doing more with less.

Expand into
Automation

RHEL delivers a stable, secure, and consistent platform to run, connect, and scale your environment with confidence.

Build from a Common Foundation

Red Hat solutions don’t operate in isolation. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides the underlying foundation that supports the next stage of your customer journey — toward automation, modernization, or both.

Why Begin with RHEL?

Your guide to what's ahead

What You’ll Explore

Continue to the Foundation

Explore the Opportunity

More choice. More flexibility. One connected strategy.

Customers are operating across datacenters, cloud environments, and increasingly distributed infrastructure. Red Hat helps create a more consistent foundation across those environments — giving organizations greater flexibility to place workloads where they make the most sense while extending familiar platforms, tools, and operations into the cloud.

ROUTE 3

Extend what works. Expand where it can go.

Connect & Scale

Separate processes across cloud and on-premises environments can increase manual effort, governance challenges, and operational overhead.

Challenge

Operational
Gaps

Customers need to move or extend workloads to the cloud without introducing unnecessary disruption or complexity.

Challenge

Cloud
Placement

Different platforms, tools, and operating models can create silos between datacenter and cloud environments.

Challenge

Fragmented Environments

Explore the Automation Route

Less manual work. More consistency. Greater opportunity.

Explore how Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform works alongside alliance technologies from Cisco and Splunk to address real operational challenges.

Connect the Ecosystem

Create repeatable automation workflows that help standardize processes across datacenter, cloud, network, and other environments.

Improve Consistency

Automate routine infrastructure and application tasks to reduce manual effort and help teams work more efficiently.

Simplify Operations

Help customers turn repetitive, manual processes into more consistent, scalable operations across increasingly complex IT environments.

Automate & Optimize

ROUTE 01

Explore the Alliance Advantage

Hybrid cloud becomes even more powerful with the right cloud partners.

See how Red Hat works with AWS and Microsoft Azure to extend enterprise Linux, application platforms, and automation into leading public clouds.

As workloads spread across on-premises infrastructure and public clouds, disconnected platforms, migration demands, and inconsistent operations can make hybrid cloud harder to manage.

TODAY’S REALITY

More environments can mean more complexity.
