Red Hat sells enterprise open-source software with a subscription model that includes updates, security patches, and professional support. Its products—RHEL for hybrid cloud servers, OpenShift for containerized apps, and the Ansible Automation Platform for IT automation—are open-source at core but provided with guaranteed enterprise support. Red Hat differentiates itself by pairing open-source code with a deep services layer and an integrated stack designed for hybrid/multicloud environments, backed by IBM. Its goal is to help large organizations deploy, manage, and scale open-source software across complex IT landscapes with reliable software and predictable, ongoing support.
