Let’s pull back the curtain. Your hardware, cloud, and software vendors aren’t incentivized to help you reduce costs—they make more when you stay locked into bloated, legacy infrastructure. But your CFO is under pressure to cut IT spend, and a container-first strategy may be the most overlooked way to do it.
In this executive-level webinar, we’ll show you how Red Hat OpenShift and a container-first approach can reduce infrastructure costs by 40%–60%, increase deployment speed by up to 90%, and unlock the innovation potential of your teams—especially when it comes to AI.
If you’re still spending heavily on VMware and traditional IT infrastructure or cloud VMs, it’s time to rethink where your money is going—and why it doesn’t need to be.
What You Will Learn in This Webinar:
The Hidden Costs of Legacy IT — and How to Escape Them
