Red Hat Recognized as a Leader in 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud Application Platforms

Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced that Red Hat has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader and in the first Magic Quadrant for Cloud Application Platforms for its Red Hat OpenShift cloud services offerings.¹

According to Gartner, “Cloud Application Platforms are intended to be more than just a platform for running applications; they are essential for businesses aiming to achieve excellence in software engineering, productivity and market responsiveness.”

Red Hat OpenShift cloud services are turnkey, managed application platforms on major hyperscaler clouds designed to streamline the entire application lifecycle, from development to delivery. They provide a more consistent experience across clouds with security and compliance capabilities and integrated tools and services for cloud-native, AI, virtual and traditional workloads alike. The Red Hat OpenShift cloud services portfolio consists of jointly engineered solutions with hyperscalers, including Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Application Platforms 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 Leader in the recent 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management.
