We Build Communities Who Write Software That Runs In Production

We do this by bringing together developers, operators, and organizations in an open way, guided by a set of principles we call the Four Opens (open source, design, development, community). All of our projects have a strategic focus, vision & scope that supports the development and adoption of production infrastructure with open source components.

We can help with your open source project. Our model and project services provides the tooling, guidance, and collaborative environment that allows communities to focus their attention on the important work of building and operating software that solves real problems around the globe.

We're really excited being an active member in the open infrastructure foundation with what we really view as a place for crowdsourced innovation. The ability for multiple companies and individual developers to come together and contribute in a way that can solve these problems at scale.

— Paul Miller

CTO, Wind River

As the only OpenInfra Gold Member in Thailand, it’s exciting to see more organizations in southeast Asia join us in leveraging the flexibility and cost efficiency of OpenStack. We are honored to be a part of the rapidly growing, global footprint of OpenStack powered public clouds.

- Abhisak Chulya

CEO, NIPA Cloud

Red Hat’s Platinum membership allows us to invest directly in the Foundation and influence its strategic direction at the highest level. It’s the icing on the cake, as Red Hatters are expected to be leaders at all levels, ensuring sustainability of the community and the long-term health of the code.
