These platforms enable organisations to enforce consistent security policies, manage identity and access, and monitor performance and spending across their entire IT estate.
The development of these management planes reflects a maturing market. The initial rush to the public cloud is now being tempered by a more strategic and pragmatic approach. As Julio Guijarro, EMEA CTO at Red Hat, explains:“ We are one of the leading software providers around hybrid cloud. This has been part of our strategy for a number of years now and it’ s becoming even more critical.
“ Hybrid was, in our belief, going to be the way software would be delivered. But today, with anything related to sovereignty, it’ s becoming more and more important.
“ It’ s about how you interconnect, how you have things running on the edge – running in factories or in data centres either owned or managed by somebody else – and even the hyperscalers of the cloud. The software that we have allows you to do that across all of them.
“ Our strategy is to be able to deploy and manage your software – including AI – in the same way that you do on the cloud that you do on-premise or on edge.
