AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the creation of Red Hat Open Innovation Labs,
a consulting service that helps companies integrate people, methodology,
and technology to solve business challenges in an accelerated fashion.
As part of an Open Innovation Labs consulting engagement, customers will
work collaboratively in a residency-oriented lab environment with Red
Hat experts to jumpstart innovation and software development initiatives
using open source technology and DevOps methods.
Digitalization is increasingly connecting people, process, data and
devices and enabling new business innovation platforms. Software is
powering this shift and enabling companies to build innovation-driven
advantages. The Red Hat Open Innovation Labs service helps customers
rapidly develop and integrate applications using microservices, deploy
them in containers, and deliver them using DevOps methodologies across
physical, cloud and mobile environments that can quickly scale up or
down on-demand. With Red Hat, customers can innovate with speed,
agility, scalability and increased security.
Red Hat Open Innovation Labs aims to help customers achieve this
transformation, enabling them to:
- Work on real business problems from day one, using Red Hat’s
push-button infrastructure and automated development environments,
teams can more quickly start development once the residency begins,
enabling quicker time to value.
- Learn how to take advantage of modern application development
technologies and methodologies, including migrations, microservice
architectures, container application platforms, DevOps, application
and data integration, mobile and hybrid cloud strategies.
- Re-platform existing applications for scale-out with OpenStack
and public cloud infrastructures.
- Bridge legacy and new application development efforts on one
platform, helping teams design and develop solutions to modernize
applications, or take on entirely new challenges.
- Learn to innovate the Red Hat way by engaging with the Open
Source community and collaborating in upstream projects.
- Innovate onsite and virtually, meeting new requirements as a
result of digital transformations, offering distributed teams access
to environments in different locations. Red Hat provides a more secure
cloud environment so authorized team members can work together, and
development can happen on your site, in a Red Hat lab environment, or
virtually.

Red Hat Open Innovation Labs is available immediately in North America,
with full global availability planned within the year.
