Tech firm Red Hat is positioning open-source technologies as a key driver of enterprise modernization in the Philippines, as it outlined its local strategy and showcased customer adoption during a media session at the Tech Day Manila conference at the Rockwell Powerplant Mall in Makati City last April 22.
Red Hat and AMD will expand customer choice across the hybrid cloud, from deploying optimized, efficient AI models to more cost-effectively modernizing traditional virtual machines (VMs).
Union Bank of the Philippines signed a deal with open-source provider Red Hat to help the local lender accelerate the migration of mission-critical workloads from on-premises environments to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform.
Enterprises can now build mission-critical applications once and run them on all leading public clouds -- including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Alibaba, and IBM Cloud -- and on private clouds.
The company, which was recently bought by IBM, has had off-shore dealings with local enterprises through their partners in the country. However, opening an office in the Philippines actually reflects Red Hat?s confidence in the market and desire to establish a stronger presence.
Red Hat will join IBM's Hybrid Cloud team as a distinct unit and will continue to be led by Red Hat's current management team. However, its CEO James Whitehurst will report to IBM chief Ginni Rometty.
