Red Hat SummitThis week at Google Cloud Next, Red Hat is pleased to be recognized as the 2025 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year (Operating System - Linux). This award builds upon a longstanding collaboration between Red Hat and Google, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) at the core.
The modern CIO faces many challenges. They are faced with the constant priority of maintaining consistent performance across cloud and datacenter environments alike to address critical needs around security, scalability and reliability – all while keeping an eye on the future with artificial intelligence (AI). Now more than ever, organizations must prioritize standardizing cloud-based infrastructure on a consistent and flexible operating system. Running RHEL on Google Cloud provides organizations with a powerful, adaptable platform for innovation to address the business needs of today and into the future.
In particular, RHEL on Google Cloud helps organizations achieve:
- More seamless cloud migration: RHEL offers a robust foundation to facilitate a smooth transition to Google Cloud, minimizing disruptions and maximizing efficiency.
- Enhanced performance and scalability: Delivers superior performance and scalability through Google Cloud's robust infrastructure and RHEL’s integrated performance monitoring, tracing and analysis tooling.
- Simplified management: RHEL on Google Cloud helps streamline operations with integrated management and automation tools, such as Red Hat Insights.
- Accelerated innovation: Enables rapid innovation with access to Google Cloud's cutting-edge services and RHEL’s integrated cloud computing features.
Additionally, RHEL for SAP® Solutions, certified for integration with SAP S/4HANA®, combines the reliability, scalability, and performance of RHEL with SAP-specific content. Running RHEL for SAP Solutions on Google Cloud instances enables customers to build a high-performance foundation for database operations, with templates and deployment resources, integrated management and tuning tools, and the ability to connect to Google Cloud BigQuery for even faster insights.
Customers worldwide are unlocking the benefits of RHEL on Google Cloud. For instance, a banking institution in North America is using RHEL to simplify their operations and management across on-premises environments and Google Cloud, which has enabled them to implement a unified platform for more consistent performance, workload portability and centralized control. Another organization in the energy market modernized its IT infrastructure with RHEL for SAP Solutions on Google Cloud to drive better operational efficiency, accelerate digital transformation and reduce costs.
