The platform will use open-source technology like Linux and Kubernetes to keep client data and secure both on-premise and on private and public clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe that hybrid cloud unlocks tremendous value and is the only way forward for our clients,\u201d said Arvind Krishna, senior vice president of IBM Hybrid Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both companies have emphasized since the deal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/govcon\/2018\/10\/29\/ibm-acquires-open-source-cloud-company-in-34b-deal\/\">was announced<\/a> that Red Hat\u2019s business wouldn\u2019t change, even given that some of Red Hat\u2019s clients are IBM competitors. And Krishna said that Red Hat\u2019s business under IBM ownership will be uninterrupted and will remain independent from IBM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey make their own decisions on pricing, who they work with, many of whom will be competitors to IBM,\u201d Krishna said. \u201cThis is a world of \u2018cooper-tition,\u2019 I believe; this is no longer a world of pure competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Hat has branded itself as the \u201cSwitzerland\u201d of open-source cloud software providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat independence is essential to assure our other partners, in some cases competitors to IBM, that they will have an equal shot at the business out there,\u201d said Paul Cormier, president of products and technologies at Red Hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Hat partners include cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, all of which have public sector footprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFundamentally, this acquisition\u2019s close is important because it resets the cloud landscape. For clients looking to extend or begin their cloud journey, hybrid is the answer,&#8221; IBM said in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krishna said that IBM and Red Hat share a \u201ccommon vision\u201d on the importance of hybrid technology to reduce costs and increase productivity as companies move critical workloads to the cloud and they wanted to create a common platform that \u201cunlocks value for our clients and lets them move forward,\u201d Krishna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is the way to accelerate innovation going forward and \u2026 we are going to bring those capabilities in a much broader way,\u201d Krishna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux, Red Hat\u2019s enterprise software, is expected to contribute more than $10 trillion to global business revenues by 2019, according to the release. The release also said that 640,000 people will work in new Red Hat-related jobs by 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The merger will create a common platform for businesses to
