Red Hat: Handholding Government Entities to Successfully Traverse through their Digital Transformation Journeys
Unlike a few years back, most govern- ments worldwide are now whole heartedly embracing modern-day techno- logies, and India is no different. With the country well on its way towards becoming the next global super- power, a lot of emphasis is being laid by the government towards enhancing efficiencies across all its functions and agencies through cutting-edge technology adoption. However, the highly sensitive nature of work being done by government entities demands technology solutions that are not only secure but also comply with numerous stringent regulatory policies and frameworks.Among the very few handful of technology providers that possess the capability to cater to such niche requirements, one company that stands out is Red Hat. As the global leader in developing open-source software for commercial use, the company’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is serving as the foundation for its three key offerings – Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS GovCloud, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and Red Hat Insights.
Having achieved the Federal Risk & Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Agency Authority to Operate (ATO) at the High Impact Level, Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS GovCloud is perfectly suitable to handle government agencies' sensitive, unclassified data across cloud computing environments. This software is enabling government organizations to enhance their overall productivity by streamlining their entire operations and driving innovation across hybrid and multi cloud environments. Using Red Hat OpenShift, agencies are not only able to build, scale, and manage containerized applications on AWS, but also achieve faster deployment of new capabilities with less risk.
On the other hand, the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is enabling government entities to cut down manual tasks and enhance their operational efficiency by automating their IT processes, streamlining workflows, and facilitating easy integration with critical services. Similarly, Red Hat Insights is yet another powerful tool that provides government agencies with predictive analytics capabilities that help them complete complex operational tasks that usually took hours, in a few minutes. Additionally, the solution also continually assesses the agencies’ IT environments, identifies potential security risks, prioritizes them, and accordingly provides suitable tools to directly handle these risks. This way, it is enabling the government agencies to maintain a secure and compliant environment, while simultaneously being able to innovate and stay relevant to the changing industry dynamics.
“As leaders in open-source software and cloud-native technologies, we enable government agencies to modernize their applications and build agile, cloud-native IT environments. Our comprehensive open hybrid cloud solutions offer the flexibility, interoperability, and consistency needed for successful app development and modernization, while optimizing performance, scalability, and security and minimizing costs. Additionally, our solutions are designed to accelerate innovation and help government agencies adapt to evolving needs while maintaining security and compliance”, says Marshal Correia, VP & GM, Red Hat India/South Asia.
Owing to such industry benchmark practices and fine tech finesse, Red Hat has been the technology partner for the Indian government’s numerous prestigious projects such as the Goods & Service Tax Network (GSTN), IRCTC, and many more. Additionally, the company has also been recognized by Forrester Research as the ‘Leader’ in its evaluation of multi-cloud container platform providers and by Gartner Magic Quadrant as the ‘Leader’ in Container Management.
“We believe these recognitions to be a great validation of Red Hat Open Shift as a hybrid cloud application platform helping government organizations to accelerate modern application development and delivery across hybrid environments – from the data center to the cloud to the edge. Our commitment to open-source innovation and its focus on security and compliance aligns perfectly with the government sector’s demands for flexibility, scalability, and reliability”, concludes Marshal.
