The $34 billion acquisition of Red Hat by IBM is without a doubt the biggest news in the tech world for 2019. In light of the overall transformation to cloud technologies, the combined efforts of the two companies place them as leading technology providers and visionaries for the future of IT.

Red Hat has just announced the updated version of Openshift 4.2. The most popular container management platform now also supports hybrid cloud architectures.

IBM, in turn, completely embraces Red Hat OpenShift. The company recently announced that it will use OpenShift as the primary container environment for all of its hybrid cloud offerings, including IBM Cloud Paks: Five enterprise-grade solutions based on OpenShift and a combination of IBM and Red Hat containerized applications and  services such as application modernization; data management, and analytics; process automation and RPA; enterprise messaging and integration; multi-cloud management.

The seventh edition of our annual forum - IBS IT Compass is entirely dedicated to the synergy between IBM and RedHat. Leading experts from both companies will present their vision for the overall modernization and transformation of IT architectures and applications in a world dominated by cloud technologies and containers.

The forum is organized by IBS in a partnership with IBM and Red Hat and with media support from CIO, Computerworld and TechNews.

The IBS IT Compass will be held on November 26, 2019, at the Sofia Hilton Hotel. Access is free but pre-registration is required.
