Red Hat was appealing to us because of its modern and open architecture that supports delivering digital transformation solutions,” says Paul Bezuidenhout, Red Hat product lead at Ovations Technologies.
“We often find that cost-effective transformation is not easily achieved with legacy technologies and mindsets, and many companies we talk to are looking to deploy hybrid cloud solutions that can keep up with a fast-changing business and regulatory environments. This is Red Hat’s strength when compared to other middleware and cloud platforms, and the vendor’s competitive subscription-based pricing model can help drive down IT spend in an ever-growing cost-conscious market,” he adds.
