Description

Vendor Profile: Red Hat Automation for Cloud-Native Networks


Red Hat open source solutions have been used by multiple industry verticals, including telecommunications. The use of cloud-native technologies and methodologies is pivotal for an organization's digital transformation journey. The need for automation and orchestration stems from the expectation for communications SPs (CSPs) to better manage their network operations for better availability, efficiency, and reliability while trying to reduce network operations costs and speed up the provisioning of services. Red Hat's OpenShift Container Platform hosts network functions, creating a software-driven environment that accelerates deployments and reduces time to market, all in a scalable manner. Red Hat's Ansible Automation Platform enhances this ecosystem by enabling CSPs to transition from reactive islands of automation to a more proactive approach of event-driven automation across the network. Additionally, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes offers policy and configuration templates, cluster management, and monitoring capabilities, enabling observability and visibility into networks. This IDC Vendor profile provides an overview of Red Hat's portfolio for CSPs, focusing on the technological solutions that streamline the deployment and management of cloud-native networks, edge infrastructure, applications, and workloads within the network environment.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
