Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, held Red Hat Forum Taiwan 2021, an annual open source technology event. With the theme of “Open Your Perspective,” this event seeks to encourage organizations to propel their business forward, enhance resilience, and achieve their transformation goals with open source. Winners of the Red Hat APAC Innovation Awards 2021 for Taiwan were announced at the event. National Center for High-performance Computing of National Applied Research Laboratories (NCHC of NARLabs) and Taiwan Business Bank were honored today for their digital transformation journey and innovations using Red Hat solutions.
Red Hat Forum is Red Hat’s annual open source technology event in the region, where Asia Pacific leaders, technical experts, and industry professionals share forward-looking ideas and strategies for digital transformation, as well as experience live demos and partner online exhibitions. The event gathers business professionals and open source enthusiasts from across Taiwan.
This year’s agenda curated content for two types of audiences. The platform strategy track focused on IT departments, data centers, and platform owners, sharing the essentials for maintaining a consistent platform experience across infrastructure environments. The application development track targeted application owners, line-of-business users and developers, discussing how to effectively deploy and manage applications through Red Hat platforms and get them up to production more quickly.
During the event, Irene Sun, general manager for Red Hat Taiwan, shared her observations of how Red Hat enables digital transformation for Taiwanese organizations. Organizations need to develop agility to respond to customer needs as well as reduce costs of trial and error while maintaining service stability. According to Sun, open hybrid cloud, cloud native, and IT automation are the three critical elements of digital transformation.
Another highlight of the Red Hat Forum Taiwan was the online demo by Asia Pacific technology experts. Recognizing that many industrial customers are actively seeking integration of new and legacy applications and systems to accelerate their development process, Red Hat IT experts suggested an open hybrid cloud strategy to deliver software solutions on any infrastructure and demonstrated the process of system migration, deep diving into the journey of modernization through Red Hat solutions.
