The city of Denver (United States) is currently hosting the Red Hat Summit 2024, Red Hat’s annual meeting, which focuses on the future of open source, hybrid cloud technology and the role of AI in a rapidly changing environment. evolution.
Several use cases were presented at the meeting and the Basque translator Itzuli developed by the Basque Government was awarded at the Red Hat Innovation Awards. Using Red Hat technologies to provide AI-assisted digital services to its citizens, the Basque Government aims to help citizens in the use of the language of their choice and has developed language tools within the framework of the Itzuli project, which using AI It enables translation (from Basque to Spanish, French and English), transcription (voice to text in Basque and Spanish) and synthesis (text to speech in Basque, Spanish, French and English).
Organizations around the world use Ansible Automation Platform to facilitate cloud-native operations, establish a culture of automation, and quickly respond to critical situations with potentially serious consequences. Among these organizations is MAPFRE, a global insurance company based in Madrid, which incorporated Ansible Automation Platform, obtaining significant results important for the business: time to market was reduced by 55% and the error rate by 85%, with a saving of 4700 hours of development; Delivered cost and sustainability improvements by automatically paying for PRE environments, deleting unused environments after 30 days, and deleting orphaned resources; and optimized resilience by automating repair and disaster recovery environments and disconnecting at-risk environments. In the near future, it plans to use Ansible Automation Platform to minimize problems caused by human errors, which typically account for more than 50% of incidents.
Another example is Southwest, which uses Ansible Automation Platform to keep networks running more consistently, increase efficiency, and deliver greater customer satisfaction.
Another use case seen at the meeting is that of Ortec Finance, a global provider of technology and solutions for risk and profitability management, which has implemented Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift to market solutions more quickly with a more open approach. and collaborative for software development. Ortec Finance is becoming a more agile business by modernizing workloads and unifying its teams on its new Ortec Finance Cloud Application (ORCA) platform powered by Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Ortec Finance is also in the process of adopting Openshift AI on Azure Red Hat OpenShift to support the development of its AI applications in the service of greater efficiency and innovation for customers.
How to prepare for an AI-centric world
Red Hat has also shown how it is driving the future of supercomputing with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the operating system platform for El Capitan, NNSA’s first exascale supercomputer. As a catalyst for the El Capitan software stack, RHEL provides an essential connection in preparing cloud-enabled supercomputers with AI/ML components. The platform easily integrates with LLNL’s existing technology environment, providing simplified management and a user experience that spans from traditional systems to El Capitan’s next-generation infrastructure.
The company has announced its collaboration with Lloyds Banking Group to help transform the way its engineering teams work, using modern practices, strengthening developer experience, software quality and speed to market.
Meanwhile, Pure Storage and Red Hat accelerate the adoption of modern virtualization across enterprises with Portworx by Pure Storage and Red Hat OpenShift, unifying virtual machines (VMs) and containers to meet business needs for modernization. of applications at scale on any computing and storage infrastructure.
Additionally, Red Hat and Oracle announce the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This collaboration combines the industry-leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes with distributed cloud, enabling Red Hat OpenShift certified and compliant configurations to run on OCI.
