Companies are creating more interconnected systems that not only gather and analyze, but also unlock the power behind the massive amounts of data that intelligent systems generate. In order to gain insight, make informed decisions, and push automated intelligence closer to edge devices, your company needs solutions that can:

• Seamlessly connect devices.

• Transfer and transform data reliably. • Analyze data.

• Act upon that analysis.

Intelligent systems address these concerns by interconnecting devices to create a seamless system that manages data. They also demand reliability, security, stability, and performance to ensure the manageability of free-flowing data. Red Hat is the only open source technology company that provides a complete solution for intelligent systems — from the embedded device to the datacenter to the cloud — all using a common architecture.

Red Hat provides more than an open, secure, and enterprise-ready platform for your customers to manage data. Through the Red Hat® Embedded Program, you can build a supportive relationship with the open source leader in intelligent systems. Benefit from a stable partnership that offers individualized business terms, flexible distribution rights, and partner resources to help you bring higher-revenue products to market. Red Hat Embedded Program offers both the technology and support you need to compete in this market.
