APAC strengthens interest in hybrid cloud - Red Hat

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- Red Hat Inc, the world's leading open source solutions provider today shared there was a rising interest for hybrid cloud in Asia Pacific (APAC).

This follows the increasing number of cloud and managed service providers joining the Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Providers programme in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

The programme includes over 300 cloud, system integrators and manages service providers in APAC - along with software developers and hardware manufacturers that use Red Hat products and technologies.

Gartner forecasts that the mature APAC market will spend US$13.6 billion on public cloud services by end-2019, up from the US$11.7 billion last year. (US$1 = RM4.19)

Moreover, 75 per cent of organisations worldwide are expected to deploy a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud model by next year. However, as cloud adoption gains interest in APAC, not every organisation has the expertise or resources to build and maintain such an environment in-house.

The Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider programme can help APAC solution providers fill that gap by offering open, cloud-based technologies that can scale and flexibly meet customers’ evolving business needs.

Certified Cloud and Service Providers can gain access to Red Hat solutions that not only offer a more secure, scalable platform for building public and private clouds, but also empower DevOps to develop, deploy and manage diverse applications seamlessly.
