At Red Hat, for much of the past decade we’ve been talking about open hybrid cloud—a holistic view of hybrid cloud that also incorporates open practices—and have led the way in hybrid cloud, helping thousands of companies on their modernization journeys. This journey mirrors what we started with many of these same companies years ago when we helped them introduce Linux® and open source technologies into their organizations.

The goal of hybrid cloud is to ensure that you can emphatically answer “yes” to these three questions:

• Can your software applications help you win against big and small threats that aim to upend your entire industry?
• Can your applications and infrastructure become a source of lasting competitive advantage?
• Can your people, processes, and culture adapt and use technology to truly transform your business for the long term?
