With its modern IT infrastructure, ROSSMANN can adapt to evolving challenges with greater agility and fuel business growth. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a robust and scalable platform for operating workloads across both cloud and on-premise environments. This hybrid deployment capability empowers ROSSMANN to strategically select the optimal environment based on workload-specific performance, compliance and latency needs, optimizing resource allocation and allowing for peak efficiency. This establishes a resilient IT foundation that provides high availability and supports long-term operational efficiency and competitiveness.

Working closely with Red Hat, ROSSMANN is not only modernizing its IT landscape, but also laying the foundation for new strategic initiatives. Building on this modern foundation, ROSSMANN is strategically deploying Red Hat OpenShift AI to accelerate the operationalization and advancement of its existing AI initiatives and to pioneer future AI-driven use cases on the platform. Red Hat OpenShift AI delivers a unified AI platform for building, training, deploying and monitoring predictive and generative AI (gen AI) models at scale across hybrid cloud environments, transforming data into a strategic asset.

Red Hat’s vision: Any model, any accelerator, any cloud.

The future of AI must be defined by limitless opportunity, not constrained by infrastructure silos. Red Hat sees a horizon where organizations can deploy any model, on any accelerator, across any cloud, delivering an exceptional, more consistent user experience without exorbitant costs. To unlock the true potential of gen AI investments, enterprises require a universal inference platform – a standard for more seamless, high-performance AI innovation, both today and in the years to come.
