Red Hat expands partner support for Enterprise Linux 10 release

Red Hat has announced support from its partner ecosystem for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, expanding capabilities for hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence workloads.

The latest offering from Red Hat is positioned to enable organisations to manage skills needs, reduce inconsistencies, and improve application development speed. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is backed by a catalogue of thousands of certified partner solutions and applications, with coverage in areas including artificial intelligence, networking, and security.

The operating system now extends across all major public cloud providers, following collaborations with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. This development delivers cloud offerings tailored to each hyperscaler environment.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 introduces a fully-supported image mode, which provides independent software vendors, independent hardware vendors, and original equipment manufacturers with a container-native method for rapidly building, deploying, and managing the operating system. This approach is designed to help partners accelerate their time to market and reduce development costs for solutions across on-premises, hybrid, and edge environments.

To further support partners, Red Hat is offering partner-validated products within the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. These products are tested by partners themselves to confirm software and hardware compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. This initiative brings hundreds of certified cloud instances, software, and hardware platforms to the market for use with the operating system.

Stefanie Chiras, Senior Vice President, Partner Ecosystem Success at Red Hat, commented, "Red Hat Enterprise Linux remains the backbone of hybrid cloud innovation, and our growing partner ecosystem continues to be the catalyst for maximizing the power of Linux across on-premises, cloud and edge environments. With the innovations delivered in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, our partners bring critical capabilities, optimisations and expertise that allow organisations to meet the dynamic demands of AI, security and intelligent operations in the hybrid cloud."

Several key technology partners shared their perspectives on the release. Raghu Nambiar, Corporate Vice President, Data Center Ecosystems and Solutions at AMD, stated, "Our collaboration with Red Hat has been pivotal in pushing the boundaries of enterprise computing. AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs are engineered to support the advanced capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, enabling exceptional performance and scalability for AI, cloud, and edge workloads. We're excited to work together, creating a seamless and robust solution that empowers organisations to innovate faster and drive their business forward."

Craig Connors, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Cisco Security Business Group, highlighted the deployment advantages, saying, "With image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 running on Cisco UCS X-Series managed through Cisco Intersight, customers can build a single trusted Red Hat Enterprise Linux image and roll it out securely from core datacenters to thousands of edge locations. Early adopters are cutting OS deployment times while meeting zero-trust mandates through hardware-rooted Secure Boot and SBOM attestation. Cisco and Red Hat together give enterprises a faster, safer runway for AI-driven, container-native workloads wherever they need to run."

Lauren Engebretson, Director, Compute Solutions and Enablement at HPE, underlined the solution's role at the edge, saying, "In today's race to harness AI and scale at the edge, IT organisations face a critical challenge: transforming vast data streams into instant action wherever they reside. HPE servers certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 deliver the breakthrough solution—providing not just a reliable foundation, but intelligent infrastructure that dramatically accelerates insights and response times. This powerhouse combination unlocks value across hybrid cloud environments, turning even your most remote IT into your most valuable competitive assets. The future belongs to those who can make decisions at the speed of opportunity. HPE and Red Hat help ensure you're first to seize it."

Hillery Hunter, Chief Technology Officer, IBM Infrastructure, said, "In order for enterprises to unlock their unique data with AI, they must deliberately design an AI and data stack built for enterprise scale, trust, and performance from the ground up, and that starts with Linux. IBM Cloud's open platform approach, now with support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, enables clients to build and scale robust capabilities for enterprise transformation, including AI and data applications."

Mark Skarpness, Vice President, System Software Engineering, Intel, said, "Whether it's enabling workloads at the edge or propelling AI use cases, organisations require a consistent and versatile operating system to give them the flexibility and choice needed to be successful. Intel hardware accelerators and CPUs supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 help organisations fast-track innovation on a more reliable foundation, optimised for performance and security."

Scott Tease, Vice President and General Manager, Infrastructure Solutions Product Group, Lenovo, commented, "As a leading provider of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 certified systems, Lenovo is delivering adaptable, open source IT infrastructure that helps customers accelerate digital transformation, reduce spending and mitigate complexity through automation. With Red Hat, Lenovo offers a full, open hybrid cloud portfolio that provides customers with the right solution for today's distributed workloads and tomorrow's evolving requirements, empowering them to change the economics of the data center and grow with confidence."

John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software, NVIDIA, stated, "NVIDIA and Red Hat share a long history of collaboration to bring the world's most advanced technologies to enterprises through open platforms. Full-stack NVIDIA accelerated computing and software, paired with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and supported in the NVIDIA Enterprise AI reference design, provides enterprises with a powerful foundation for leveraging AI to transform data into insights, and insights into action."

Koji Higashitani, Senior Manager, Mobile Solutions Business Division, Panasonic Connect, said, "For the most demanding remote environments, reliability and security are paramount to safeguard sensitive data and meet the stringent requirements of industries such as the federal and defence sectors. Certifying Panasonic TOUGHBOOK devices on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 delivers enhanced flexibility and security with durable devices on a trusted, resilient operating system foundation, meeting the highest standards of security and performance."

John Ronco, Senior Vice President, Product, SiFive, commented, "SiFive is committed to providing organisations with open, flexible and scalable RISC-V solutions and we are collaborating with Red Hat to bring the power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to the RISC-V community. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 developer preview on the SiFive HiFive PremierTM P550 is designed to streamline and accelerate RISC-V innovation for the next generation of enterprise and AI applications."
