Research Firm for 2025

Red Hat OpenShift is recognized for its robust capabilities in core Kubernetes
areas, developer experience and enterprise-grade offerings

RALEIGH, N.C. – WEBWIRE – Thursday, July 31, 2025
Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced that it has been named a Leader
in The Forrester Wave™: Multicloud Container Platforms, Q3 2025 report. Red Hat scored the highest among
evaluated vendors in both the current offering and strategy categories. Red Hat attributes this recognition to its
strong execution in the multicloud container platform market.

According to the Forrester report, "OpenShift is a good fit for enterprises that prioritize support, reliability, and
advanced engineering, particularly in regulated industries such as financial services" The report also notes that,
“customers consistently praise Red Hat’s enterprise-grade offerings and support, especially for managed
services…”
Forrester’s analysis found that “Red Hat excels in core Kubernetes areas, offering robust operator options,
powerful management, GitOps automation, and flexible interfaces via a GUI or command-line interface (CLI).
OpenShift’s SLAs of 99.95% for public cloud managed-service versions showcase Red Hat’s capacity to
engineer capabilities beyond those of native public cloud services.” Additionally, it states that, “Developers will
find just about everything they need with Red Hat’s above-par scores in developer experience, service and application catalogs, microservices, service
mesh, DevOps automation, and integration.”

Red Hat is also applying its entire hybrid cloud stack — from the critical Linux foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to optimize model serving and
advanced inference — to support generative AI (gen AI) development and operations.
