Unlocking AI Potential Through Red Hat’s Open Strategy

According to TechRadar, more than half of organizations face AI sprawl, fragmented tools and deployments that drive up costs and slow down adoption. Red Hat’s open collaborative approach helps cut through that complexity, delivering scalable AI across hybrid clouds with ease.

In an exclusive interview with CRNTV, Stefanie Chiras, SVP, partner ecosystem success at Red Hat, shared how open ecosystems are transforming AI from fragmented to enterprise ready.

“There is a lot of excitement around AI and an unprecedented rate and pace of innovation,” said Chiras. “We are your Sherpas in this world, helping to guide enterprises through the open-source world of innovation and ensuring solutions are enterprise ready and secure.”

Red Hat’s open-source heritage is more than a development model, it’s the engine of innovation. Chiras emphasized that Red Hat is focused on helping partners deliver cost-efficient, secure and compliant AI outcomes. That includes implementing AI solutions, using AI technology and creating new ways of working that maximize impact while maintaining control over data.

“To support partners to deliver on that, we are focusing on bringing technology in three key areas,” she said. “First, delivering the OS for AI around AI inference. Second, working really closely on the infrastructure for AI. And third, with an agentic platform, and that sits within our OpenShift AI offering.”

Red Hat enables deployment on accelerators from Intel, NVIDIA, Google, AWS and AMD. Partners like Arrow, Cisco and HCL are already using OpenShift AI in their labs, while Accenture is building its AI platform on OpenShift AI and Dell supports it within their factory offerings.

Chiras also highlighted Red Hat’s collaboration with NVIDIA. “This collaboration includes supporting the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory ecosystem, which provides a foundation for scaled AI production with Red Hat AI and OpenShift AI,” she said.

Red Hat backs its technology with partner enablement programs through TD SYNNEX, Ingram Micro and Arrow, helping partners build and scale AI practices.
