This marks the 2nd consecutive year Gartner has named Red Hat a Leader in the report

Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Red Hat has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis in the Magic Quadrant for Container Management for its Red Hat OpenShift offering.1 Additionally, Red Hat ranked first in three of six Use Cases in the 2024 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Container Management, including Hybrid Container Development, Container Management Tooling and Edge Container Deployment.

Red Hat OpenShift is a comprehensive platform for developing, modernizing and deploying applications at scale, including AI-enabled apps. It provides a consistent experience across hybrid environments -- from the datacenter, to the cloud, to the edge. With Red Hat OpenShift, organizations have a unified platform with a complete set of tools and services as well as security and compliance capabilities integrated directly into the platform, streamlining the entire application lifecycle, from development to delivery to management. Available in both fully managed or self-managed options, Red Hat OpenShift runs wherever and however customers need.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management evaluated 12 vendor solutions and was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to Gartner, Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.

This report follows the Gartner recognition of Red Hat as a Challenger in the most recent 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms. As one of the only three vendors named in both Magic Quadrant reports, we believe this showcases Red Hat OpenShift’s capabilities as a fully integrated application development platform -- enabling a standardized developer experience across the hybrid cloud and supporting diverse workloads from AI-enabled to applications at the edge.
