"Every CIO is a Cloud Operator"

Being a Cloud Operator for the CIOs - explains Anguilletti – means to support business initiatives by finding the way to make the best in terms of performance, efficiency, security, economy, scalability, agility, governance – and without any lock-in - from the infinite number of platforms that can be created by combining the multitude of hardware systems, virtualized environments, private and public cloud infrastructures.

These are all the “footprints” covered by the Open Hybrid Cloud proposition that Red Hat launched 10 years ago; it is based on the vision that a hybrid and open cloud is the most effective architecture, if not the only one, truly capable of "allowing IT to be a strategic enabler to support operations and business initiatives, in fact".

Red Hat Open Hybrid Cloud therefore is a strategy to design, develop and operate applications on the basis of the three key characteristics of speed, stability and scalability to address digital innovation projects.

“To make the vision come true, Red Hat has continued to invest in developing the macro components that make the vision a concrete reality. Therefore frameworks (1) for the development of modern, cloud-native and containerized applications, which can take advantage of new paradigms such as AI, ML, Serverless, Edge Computing, IoT, AR / VR … and can then adpat in an elastic manner to the variable conditions in which the company operates.

Then technologies for building and managing hybrid and open cloud infrastructures (2) to leverage all the different computational resources available for developing, releasing and accessing applications any time, anywhere and on or from any device.

Last, but not least, tools for managing and automating IT infrastructures (3). Therefore tools that allow on the one hand to reduce time and costs dedicated to these operations and – on the other other side - make them more reliable and more intelligent”.

In addition to traditional skills transfer services for the use of technologies, Red Hat has added a series of solutions to allow customers to also make a leap from an organizational point of view, in terms of agility, collaboration and culture.

They are based on the "open organization" model, which is at the foundation of its role of catalyst for developing innovative technologies and to support customers in the adoption, implementation and scaling of new methods of using innovation.
