Dell Technologies and Red Hat have partnered to simplify the management and deployment of AI and cloud-native applications, specifically where running in a hybrid cloud environment.
By enabling the integration of Dell's PowerEdge servers with Red Hat's AI-optimised Linux infrastructure, the duo guarantees a high level of flexibility and performance for hybrid cloud workloads.
The move is designed as an answer to the rise in cloud-native containerised applications driven by AI workloads.
In particular, the partnership aims to address the complexities associated with do-it-yourself AI and cloud-native application development, streamlining their deployment in enterprise IT environments.
Running AI applications at the edge is growing in importance as real-time processing becomes critical. Dell's PowerEdge servers, equipped with Red Hat's AI-optimised Linux are designed to deliver low latency for AI-driven tasks by enabling AI inference to be pushed to the edge.
Dell's capacity to scale storage and processing power ensures that edge-based AI workloads can keep pace with increasing demand.
Rob Strechay, principal analyst at theCUBE Research, says Red Hat and Dell's OpenShift solution helps enterprises optimise their infrastructure for flexibility and scalability.
The integration combines virtualisation with cloud-native solutions, helping businesses optimise their deployment and management.
The technology allows businesses to use cloud services while keeping total control over their on-premises data and the management of hybrid infrastructures.
Finally, the integration with Red Hat OpenShift allows businesses to gain the flexibility and scalability required to support AI and machine learning workloads.
