Red Hat OpenShift: Where vision meets execution

Enterprise technology leaders face a central challenge: building the future while managing the present. This requires a dual focus: a clear, forward-looking vision for what's next and the ability to execute and deliver results today, at scale, across the entire enterprise. It’s this combination of vision and execution that separates leaders from the rest.

At Red Hat, our strategy is built to help you meet this challenge. Think of your enterprise as a thriving city. To function, it needs reliable infrastructure—power, water, roads—that work flawlessly today. That’s execution. But it also needs a flexible plan to grow that allows for the construction of new commercial spaces, housing, parks, and transportation systems in the future. That’s vision. A true hybrid cloud platform must meet both needs. It must provide a consistent, adaptable foundation that allows you to run your business efficiently while confidently building for the future as new technologies like artificial intelligence are deployed. Red Hat OpenShift is the platform where your vision meets practical, enterprise-grade execution.

You don’t have to take my word for it, though. For the third consecutive year, Red Hat has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management.

In our opinion, this recognition serves as an independent validation of our strategy and platform. The Gartner evaluation assesses vendors on two attributes: "Completeness of Vision" and "Ability to Execute."  Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. We feel that being named a Leader again affirms that we are not only setting a clear direction for the future of enterprise technology but, crucially, also delivering the robust capabilities our customers need to succeed right now.

We believe, for our customers, this consistent recognition provides more than just a dependable product, it provides confidence in a strategic partner. It affirms that a unified platform for the open hybrid cloud is the most durable path forward. With OpenShift, you have a consistent foundation that spans from your datacenter to multiple public clouds and out to the edge. It’s proof that you don’t have to choose between innovating for tomorrow and delivering for today. With one platform, you can align the priorities you set today with your future ambitions.
