Red Hat has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Multicloud Container Platforms, Q3 2025. Red Hat has been ranked higher in both the current offering and strategy categories.
According to Forrester, “OpenShift is a good fit for enterprises that prioritise support, reliability, and advanced engineering, particularly in regulated industries such as financial services.”
The report also praises Red Hat’s enterprise-level support and managed services, stating:
“Red Hat excels in core Kubernetes areas, offering robust operator options, powerful management, GitOps automation, and flexible interfaces via a GUI or command-line interface (CLI).”
OpenShift’s 99.95% SLA for managed services on public cloud demonstrates Red Hat’s ability to engineer beyond what native cloud services provide. Forrester also commended Red Hat’s developer experience, service catalogs, microservices support, DevOps automation, and integration tools.
Red Hat is leveraging its entire hybrid cloud stack from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to OpenShift to support generative AI development and model inference. This aligns with growing enterprise demand for AI-ready infrastructure.
“Red Hat continues to provide the leading platform for organisations navigating the complexities of multicloud environments,” said Mike Barrett, VP & GM, Hybrid Cloud Platforms at Red Hat.
“Being named a Leader by Forrester reinforces our commitment to innovation, performance, and empowering digital independence for global enterprises.”
As businesses prioritize sovereign cloud strategies and AI readiness, Red Hat’s position in the multicloud space solidifies its role as a trusted technology partner in hybrid and regulated environments.
