Answer demand with cloud infrastructure
What is cloud infrastructure?
A collection of computing power, storage, and network systems that serve resources to users on demand. A well-designed cloud infrastructure is elastic, and supports tasks like big-batch processing or disaster recovery that might tax traditional, on-premise datacenter resources.
Innovation can rock any industry.
(Yes, even yours.)
Digital services and solutions make it easier to do business, whether at the bank or in a doctor’s office. Organizations using transformative technologies can create new business models, ecosystems, and revenue streams.
70% of our customers tell us that cloud infrastructure is their top IT funding priority in 2017.(*) They are answering the demand for these ubiquitous modern services by adopting modern, flexible cloud computing technologies.
(*) Red Hat Global Customer Technology Outlook 2017Customer demands
We want more of everything
Cloud infrastructure makes modernization possible. It can open new revenue streams, and help you achieve scale far beyond your existing datacenter. At a fraction of the cost.
Real-time responses, based on data and analytics
Qoros needed to offer intelligent, vehicle-mounted telematics services to customers. Big data, high traffic, real time.
Rapid, iterative refreshes of cloud-native services
PVM needed to help Naval services build a better platform to deploy apps to Control & Command systems. Securely. REALLY securely.
New ways to connect with partners, users, ecosystem (and get paid for it)
Paddy Power Betfair needed to deliver new betting products with speed and efficiency.
Getting started
5 ways a cloud platform could change your IT organization
Select a cloud vendor (or build a proof of concept) that lets you scale out to meet elastic service requirements. You can later expand on that platform, or add a different one.
Resources:
Compute, storage, networking, and other infrastructure abstraction approaches are far more flexible and adaptable than dedicated hardware.
Resources:
On top of being easier to update than fragile, monolithic applications, modularity is the first step toward shared reusable services and application programming interface (API) interactions.
Resource:
Modern development and microservices require unified management, automated processes, and--most of all--constant collaboration by the business, developers, and operations.
Resource:
It’s not just platforms, tools, and technologies. Cloud infrastructure will also change the way your developers and ops engineers work. Iterative, continuous software cycles let them get to work--and produce new work—faster.

Overcoming challenges
Modern cloud ain't easy—but you can make it look that way
Your existing environment, staff, and practices—or even entrenched, expensive vendors--may make your transition challenging. But that doesn’t make it impossible.
Challenge
How do I salvage my traditional server and database architectures?
Solution
Reinvent and repurpose embedded transactional apps, long-lived instances, and on-premise hardware.
Challenge
How do I ensure the right people have access (and the wrong people don’t)?
Solution
Create and control policies across hybrid infrastructure with unified management and a common platform OS.
Challenge
How can I choose platforms that support modern development?
Solution
Explore and create the integrated container platform you need for modern software development and DevOps.
Challenge
How do I prepare my people?
Solution
Bring IT staff up to speed on new technologies, or supplement your in-house experience with consulting and support.
Doing things differently
Dig deeper and learn more
There are many components to a modern cloud infrastructure. Where would you like to start?
Containers
Containers let you package and isolate applications. But what do they have to do with Linux? And how can you use popular technologies from Docker and Kubernetes?
Devops
DevOps is an approach to platform, automation, and business culture that emphasizes rapid, iterative work. How can you help your business move faster? Start with the right infrastructure and practices.
Automation
IT automation lets you solve problems once and automate after that. Could you automate provisioning today? And what else could you automate in the future?
