Red Hat

Red Hat is a US multinational founded in 1993, dedicated to developing and supporting free and open-source software in the enterprise environment.

Known to many for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, its enterprise-focused operating system, Red Hat continues to innovate in open-source application servers, operating systems, middleware, applications, management products, support, education and consulting services in these areas. It creates, maintains and contributes to various free software projects.

In 2013, Red Hat became the largest contributor to Linux and the first open-source solutions provider listed on the Wall Street Technology Stock Exchange. In 2018, IBM announced that it had acquired Red Hat outright, and in 2019, upon completion of the colossal acquisition, the company became a division of IBM while maintaining its headquarters in Raleigh.

Innovation starts with open source, says Red Hat: its robust open source solutions enable enterprises to operate across multiple platforms and environments, from the central data centre to the network edge. Red Hat’s business promotes the creation of flexible and powerful IT infrastructure solutions.
