The Red Hat Forum will visit 11 cities in Asia Pacific to highlight open source technology solutions that are bringing enterprises to the forefront
In its fifth year, the Red Hat forum series will kicks off in Jakarta, Indonesia, this September, with thousands of attendees anticipated across 11 cities in Asia Pacific.
The OpenStack technology market is expected to hit $3.3 billion by 2018, and was a key topic of discussion during June’s Red Hat Summit in Boston. Red Hat Forum’s theme this year, “Energize Your Enterprise,” continues this discussion, focusing on enterprises leveraging the latest IT solutions in order to innovate and transform the way business is done, highlighted by Red Hat executives sharing their views and insights on the benefits of open and hybrid cloud solutions.
Additionally, key partners who have signed up for 4 and more cities like Intel (12 cities), Amazon Web Services (AWS – 11 cities), HP (9 cities), IBM (6-8 cities), and Dell (4 cities), will also share their experiences in using open source solutions to transform the IT environment while empowering enterprises for future challenges.
“As more and more enterprises adopt cloud computing, the Red Hat Forum provides a tremendous opportunity for attendees to interact with Red Hat executives, customers, and partners, learn how they can grow their business using open source, and converse with peers on how they’ve successfully adapted to and implemented open source solutions,” commented Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO, Red Hat.
The Red Hat Forum will feature local customers sharing their strategies and solutions in order to address critical pain points for organizations in the Asia Pacific region. In addition to Red Hat’s technology vision keynote, speakers will cover a range of topics, from containers to the Internet of Things (IoT). Finally, guest analysts from IDC (10 cities) will share the latest industry insights and how open source technology can redefine the future of businesses.
