Red Hat extends open hybrid cloud to support industrial edge deployments SHARE Open hybrid cloud has been a focus of Red Hat Inc. for almost a decade. Long before it became part of the mainstream technology conversation, Red Hat saw the inherent possibilities of allowing customers to choose what applications they run, where and how. Now, the Red Hat team is extending its open hybrid cloud strategy to embrace edge computing, and specifically industrial edge. “We are doubling down on edge within our portfolio … bringing forward the Red Hat Edge brand,” said Stefanie Chiras (pictured), senior vice president and general manager of the RHEL Business Unit at Red Hat Inc. “It’s going to be our collection point to shine a spotlight for how the features and functions in our portfolio can come together and be used to deliver in edge deployments.”
