Hybrid cloud continues to be the leading cloud strategy for many organizations today, which comes as little surprise as we see the realities of today’s business environment leading companies to want to balance the speed, efficiency and scale of cloud-native technologies with the control and security features that on-premises infrastructure provides. However, this presents a number of unique challenges related to connecting applications and services spread across these hybrid environments. Furthermore, multicloud is on the rise, leading to an even greater need for more flexible, portable and lightweight integration capabilities. However, IT industry leaders cite integration issues as one of the top three barriers they face to digital transformation.
Red Hat Integration is specifically designed to address these challenges, offering customers an agile, distributed, containerized, and API-centric solution that provides service composition and orchestration, application connectivity and data transformation, real-time message streaming, change data capture, and API management—all combined with a cloud-native platform and toolchain to support the full spectrum of modern application development.
Developers can use the same advanced build, management, and runtime platforms to connect systems that they use for new service development and integration. The platforms can be combined for public, private, and on-premise environments for scalable, highly available microservices using powerful container management tools.
Features include:
-
Application and data integration across the hybrid cloud: Deploy enterprise integration pattern-based integrations using 200+ pluggable connectors to connect new and existing data sources across hybrid cloud.
-
API connectivity and management: Create, deploy, monitor, and control APIs throughout their lifecycle. With an API-first approach, users can extend integrations across hybrid and multicloud environments.
-
Container-native infrastructure: Develop and manage services in popular container standards, and package and deploy lightweight containers in distributed environments, to adapt and scale quickly.
-
Real-time messaging, change data capture, and data streaming empower users to share data between applications and systems in real-time with high throughput and low latency.
-
Self-service for business users: empower non-technical users to configure and deploy integrations and messaging with the self-service, low-code development platform.

The hybrid multi-cloud environment is continuing to gain popularity. According to the Red Hat Global Tech Outlook 2022, hybrid cloud integration and migrating applications to cloud infrastructure were two of IT leaders’ top five funding priorities for cloud infrastructure in the next 12 months. With the benefits of the cloud also come challenges, such as ensuring application connectivity while maintaining data security. This sentiment is true for the many organizations using Red Hat Integration to transform their infrastructures to hybrid and multi-cloud environments. For example, Argentine health insurance provider Medifé sought to transform from paper-based, manual processes to responsive, digital experiences. The organization replaced its legacy environment with a container- and microservices-based infrastructure, built with Red Hat Integration and supported by agile work approaches. Now, Medifé can deliver new services to customers 92% faster and scale to accommodate rapid changes in demand—such as increasing its telemedicine staffing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and processing 400% more documents with its new core IT platform. As a result, the organization can provide more value to its members and partners and serve as a digital leader in the healthcare industry.
