Boston, MA, USA - Red Hat Summit - May 09, 2019

• Collaboration brings commercial support for NVIDIA GPU-accelerated workloads running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced it has deepened its alliance with NVIDIA to accelerate the enterprise adoption of AI, machine learning and data analytics workloads in production environments, and is launching an early access program for prospective customers.

It starts with Linux: building the future on the right foundation

Fueled by an ever-increasing global data pool, technologies like AI/ML are changing the business landscape through automation, optimization and analysis.

The operating system is the heartbeat of these systems, and Linux is a de facto standard for running highly available, reliable, and critical workloads in data centers and cloud deployments.

From the data center to the cloud: running a consistent, standards-based operating environment at cloud scale

Cloud-native application development describes the process of building applications using fine-grained components such as microservices and deploying them in Linux containers where they can be managed by a container platform.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the industry’s most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform: a security-focused, consistent foundation to deliver applications across the hybrid cloud, with full-stack automated operations and more streamlined developer workflows to help get to market faster.

In collaboration with NVIDIA, the platform is extended to support NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems in container environments.
