Red Hat Announces New Partner Subscriptions to Promote Client Success and Ecosystem Innovation

The world's largest provider of open source solutions, Red Hat, Inc., has now introduced Red Hat Partner Subscriptions, a free subscription model that gives partners more access to Red Hat's open hybrid cloud portfolio.

Red Hat Partner Subscriptions give partners an easier way to get Red Hat product subscriptions, which they may use to test new product offerings, develop software solutions and proof-of-concepts, refine technical skills, and more.

Red Hat Partner Subscriptions give partners access to Red Hat subscriptions, which are typically thousands of dollars in value. With these subscriptions, partners can create and market solutions based on hardened, enterprise-grade open source software, leading to increased operational effectiveness and technical capabilities for clients. Red Hat Partner Subscriptions, which have replaced conventional Not-for-Resale subscriptions, give partners more thorough access to Red Hat's leading platforms, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, as well as supported products, for a wider range of business and technical use cases.

Key benefits for partners through Red Hat Partner Subscriptions include:

• Access to hundreds of self-support subscriptions for the Red Hat open hybrid cloud portfolio, with the ability for partners to mix and match product subscriptions.
• Extended use for single- and multi-user software development, testing, internal training, demonstrations, proofs-of-concept and more.
• Enabled use for on-premises or in any public cloud.
• Complimentary Red Hat Standard support for up to five contacts, with the option to upgrade for additional contacts or Red Hat Premium support.
• Applicable for all generally available Red Hat product versions, variants, package updates and add-ons, as well as public Beta versions.

All Red Hat Ready, Advanced, and Premier Business Partners can now purchase Red Hat Partner Subscriptions. Red Hat technology partners can also use Red Hat Partner Subscriptions if they have finished or are in the process of finishing product certifications with Red Hat.
