Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, has announced its participation at the upcoming IDC CIO Summit 2015 taking place at the Four Seasons hotel, Kingdom Centre Riyadh from September 8-9, 2015. The company will demonstrate its open, hybrid cloud technologies for bare metal, virtualization, private cloud and public cloud deployments. 

Red Hat is a strong advocate of the open hybrid cloud computing model and believes that the open approach - based on open standards and open APIs - is essential to protecting businesses against costly vendor lock-in.

As a leader in enterprise open source software, Red Hat will be demonstrating how it can create an enterprise class IT environment to support business objectives to regional CIOs and IT managers attending the Summit. It will also be an opportunity for them to speak with the Red Hat team about the latest developments in the company’s cloud portfolio and understand how their companies could benefit from these solutions.

Lee Miles, general manager, Red Hat Middle East & Africa, will be a panellist on a session entitled ‘Journey to becoming a truly “digital” organization’ where he will share his insights as how organizations can start their journey to becoming truly digital and highlight key considerations pertaining to how digital transformation needs modern mission critical infrastructure.
