 Hey everybody, I am Matt Hicks and I run the products and technologies group at Red Hat And I'm excited to talk with you today about open hybrid cloud more specifically about innovating with open hybrid cloud But before we actually get into hybrid cloud, let's take a step back and talk about where this starts And that's with our customers When we talk to our customers and especially today in this market, they're generally in one of two places They either have too much or they have too little The camp that has too much they're they're overwhelmed They're trying to just keep up to scale and meet to man And they're having to move fast without sacrificing scalability Now if you look on the other side to those who are struggling They just don't want to lose what they have at this point and to deal with that They're having to optimize and automate and retrain really to just reduce cost and liability And in addition to the general market pressures Technology is driving a new wave of disruption and it's forcing us to operate with speed And system stability has become mandatory as demand explodes and data is fueling the massive scale of digital systems And our world demands all three of these And when our customers look at what hybrid means to them, it has to help them Whether they're overwhelmed or whether they're struggling And open hybrid cloud it solves these challenges with the power of open source innovation Open source is behind today's technology leaps all of the things that make digital transformation possible So let's actually take a look at some of those first look at infrastructure It changed from mainframes to x86 commodity hardware Which gave birth to linux servers Then look at cloud innovation Really sprung from that as well the cloud the public cloud underneath is linux And applications they move from these monolithic Single-use tools to reusable flexible microservices container and mobile architectures Heck even networking stores they move from proprietary physical components To software defined deployments that can easily be shared and managed And our customers and even beyond our customers our employees They want more modern applications connectivity and control These demands for efficiency for agility and innovation Require organizations to look to new technologies in areas like cloud, mobile, and hosted services Now an open hybrid cloud strategy It allows an IT organization to take the best of open source innovation And use it to deliver results for the business And at red hat to enable this we participate in and create community powered upstream projects We integrate upstream projects fostering on open community platforms And we commercialize these platforms into a rich ecosystem of services and certification Open hybrid cloud enables everyone Everywhere to innovate through the use of technology Here's what we mean by enabling innovation everywhere Enabling innovation for different types of developers and operators From individual developers working out of a basement To innovative startups to large enterprises We think about innovating innovate enabling innovation spatially Looking at innovation in core data centers To network edge to mobile phones iot devices and more Look at enabling innovation without concerns around specific architecture or specific language And enabling innovation to be consumed in any manner Whether it's self-managed software or it's managed services Because for us at the end of the day What matters to the business is being able to reliably securely And rapidly deploy valuable workloads And that likely means different things do every customer that's out there Now what's needed to thrive in this environment where every customer has different needs to drive Differentiation and just look at technology This is an environment where technology options continuously become available Flexibility and choice are critical Those are the capabilities that open hybrid cloud gives our customers Speed to develop and deliver application services faster for the business Flexibility to allow applications to run wherever it's most appropriate Agility to adapt to changing requirements environments and technology over time And security to facilitate the delivery of innovation without risk And lastly openness to empower choice and use the best technologies and platforms From an extensive ecosystem Now red hat we remain focused on building out a platform that allows customers to be flexible Provides an open approach to working across cloud and embraces modern app dev While allowing them to adapt to change And we do this by using three basic principles A commitment to open source A dedication to enterprise needs An embracing an ecosystem to build a total solution This combination allows us to deliver an open hybrid cloud To let you run and innovate wherever is right for you Now thank you very much for your participation in OpenShift Commons These events, these communities, these are the things that red hat thrives on And I really appreciate you taking the time to be here to contribute And I hope this was a helpful talk for you going into open hybrid cloud I hope you enjoy the rest of the event. Thanks again
