Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management for the second year in a row and placed furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis.

Gartner's assessment rated Red Hat OpenShift as a full-fledged application development, modernization and deployment platform for applications of any scale including AI applications. The platform provides a consistent experience no matter the scope or inclination of the organization- is it on premises, on the cloud, or at the edge while embedding security and compliance within its lifecycle management tools.

Apart from being positioned as a Leader, Red Hat ranked first in three out of the six Use Cases, Hybrid Container Development, Container Management Tooling, and Edge Container Deployment in Garner’s 2024 Critical Capabilities for Container Management.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant placed 12 vendors in the two critical areas of ability to execute and completeness of vision. Red Hat’s performance further shows the company’s aspiration to build a hybrid cloud on one platform for all of the workloads.

'The recognition that we received was great to see happen, making it easier for businesses to create and ship cloud native apps faster, with built-in DevSecOps tools, in a portable fashion,' said Red Hat VP and GM of Hybrid Cloud Platforms Mike Barrett.

Red Hat earns the spot in the Gartner Magic quadrants for DevOps Platforms program, after its recognition as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms, and it is some way of cementing Red Hat as a key containment manager, as well as an application development component.
