The industry is deeply engaged in an era of accelerated innovation, and to support the increased demand, customers need to solve deployment and portability challenges that abstract the underlying environment — be it on-premises off-premise/cloud, or a multi-architecture scenario — from developers so they can focus on building compelling and valuable applications.
The combination of a Red Hat software stack and IBM platforms such as Z brings the best of both worlds, where Red Hat delivers a cross-environment deployment and run-time environment that allows customers portability and flexibility, while IBM’s platforms offer a clear benefit in terms of scale, flexibility, reliability, security and low latency access to massive corporate datasets for applications that benefit and thrive in this deployment environment.
