The landscape of enterprise IT is shifting rapidly, requiring a dual-focus strategy: simplifying the core operating system while accelerating the delivery of AI-driven business value. Join us for this deep-dive Red Hat User Group session as we explore the future of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and the groundbreaking advancements in Red Hat’s AI portfolio.

 

Operational Efficiency at the Core Matt Micene (Technical Marketing, RHEL) will kick things off by challenging the traditional way we manage the OS. As organizations face increasing pressure to do more with less, the "old way" of managing OS images is becoming a bottleneck. Matt will introduce next-generation RHEL capabilities, specifically focusing on image mode for RHEL. This shift treats the OS like a container, drastically lowering the attack surface and expanding operational efficiency. Attendees will learn how to spend less time managing images and more time delivering services, ultimately prompting a total rethink of their OS imaging strategy.

 

Accelerating AI into Production Moving from the foundation to the frontier, O’Neill Joseph (Sr. AI Specialist Solution Architect) will address the business challenges of moving AI from a "cool experiment" to a production reality. With Red Hat’s recent Neural Magic acquisition, the game has changed. O’Neill will discuss how we are using innovative quantization and vLLM technologies to make AI more accessible across the hybrid cloud. We will explore how Red Hat’s new AI products help organizations solve real-world business challenges without the massive hardware overhead typically associated with LLMs.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• Modernize Deployment: Understand how image-based RHEL reduces complexity and management overhead.
• AI Without Boundaries: Discover how Neural Magic tech allows you to run high-performance AI on your existing infrastructure.
• Production Ready: Learn the roadmap for getting AI models out of the lab and into the hands of your users.
