Simplify container adoption with a high-performance, reliable, validated solution
IT is a vital asset for modern digital organizations. Consequently, IT teams must deliver infrastructure and applications swiftly and consistently across complex hybrid environments to support rapid development and deployment. They also need to modernize applications and workloads to better engage customers, partners, and employees, thereby achieving business objectives.
Over 60 percent of enterprises have adopted Kubernetes, and this number is projected to surge past 90 percent by 2027.[1] Hybrid and multicloud environments, cloud-native applications, and containers are essential elements in the path to successful digital operations.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (Red Hat OCP) can help organizations modernize and transform efficiently and effectively by consolidating required components—including application executables, microservices, libraries, and configuration files—on shared infrastructure. Speed and precision are crucial, so selecting a solution that offers performance, consistency, flexibility, and security is important.
However, researching, testing, and integrating all the associated components can be challenging and time-consuming. As industry leaders, Cisco and Hitachi offer innovative, tested, and integrated joint solutions, saving organizations time and money.
