Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

The business case is supporting the container platforms and orchestrating the container platforms. This business is more about supporting the developers. It could be anything from qualifying a component code process, CICD platforms, or a temporary platform to test the components. Hosting critical tool sets, North Star tool sets that support the world of business. It could be anything that is cloud native. There is a lot of benefits that we are getting from Red Hat OpenShift. One is ease of management. The way it helps with GitHub's principles, the way how they have componentized everything and the user has the privilege to go to the operator and select what they need and deploy it as per their requirement. Even they can customize it as per the business requirements. To speak about the benefits, I can speak the entire day about it for the time. I would say only this much. These are the use cases that I have just covered well for the entire business where all container platforms are coming nowadays, if you look at container containerization hitting the market, that is where everyone is moving forward. Everyone wants to land in that space.
  • One thing is the way how it works with the GitHubs model on an enterprise business, how the hub and spoke topology works. Hub cluster topology works the way how there is a governance model to enforce policies. The R back models, the Red Hat OpenShift virtualization that supports the cube board and developer workspace is one big feature within. So yes, these are all some features I would call out.
  • I wouldn't necessarily say there is look everyday technology transform. I can see a trend wherein Red Hat OpenShift is adopting all the new technology trends and helping their customers align with their priorities and the emerging technology trends. I wouldn't call out various scope for development every day. There is scope for development. It is all how the organizations adopt it and how they deliver it to their customers. I don't want to call out there is scope for development. It's happening. It is a never ending process.
  • At the moment, I don't have anything to call out. We are experiencing Red Hat OpenShift and we can see every day they're coming up with new features as and when they come up with new features, we want to experience it more and more. We are looking for opportunities wherein this can be leveraged to help our users and partners.
  • When you talk about ROIs, I don't have any negative impacts I wanted to call out here. There is no negative impacts. In fact, it's all positive impacts what we set as our milestones towards achieving our goals, towards achieving our greater vision. Red Hat OpenShift has got a big role in it and it is certainly helping us.
We have that 24/7 availability. The moment we moved most of our critical assets to date, we haven't heard anything, any problem with our availability. So if you talk about certain nines, yes, I would say it is like four nines. We are able to maintain that on our Red Hat OpenShift.
I have used numerous products. I'm not going to tell you anything. Like I haven't seen anything, something comparable. Even if I got something compared, I'm not going to speak about it. Well, to the question you asked, I have worked on brands, VMware, Zu Cubes, Docker, swam, and pretty much all the on-prem offerings that is available in the market. Red Hat OpenShift is doing a better job compared to other products. There is no question about that.
