We help you standardize across environments, develop cloud-native applications, and integrate, automate, secure, and manage complex environments with award-winning support, training, and consulting services.
Though Red Hat has been a wholly owned subsidiary of IBM since acquisition in 2019, Red Hat has continued to operate independently of IBM to maintain neutrality in the market. Red Hat is a distinct legal entity from IBM, as manifested by the parties’ regulatory filings, public statements, and day-to-day operations. When IBM acquired Red Hat in 2019, the maintenance and enhancement of Red Hat’s independence and neutrality was a core tenet of the transaction.Main EU files targeted
