Accelerating VM migration to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization: Hitachi storage offload delivers faster data movement

by No author

If you're modernizing your virtualization infrastructure, you've probably discovered that migrating thousands of virtual machines (VMs) takes far longer than anyone anticipated.For IT leaders who haven't overseen a VM migration in a decade or more, this long timeline often comes as a surprise. What many assumed would take a few weeks can stretch into months or even years.This extended migration window creates compounding challenges. Organizations find themselves maintaining duplicate infrastructure: 2 sets of hardware, 2 license agreements, and 2 operations teams. The costs add up quickly. VM

AI insights with actionable automation accelerate the journey to autonomous networks

by No author

The telecommunications industry is accelerating its digital transformation, driven by the increasing complexity of modern networks and the demand for faster, more reliable services rollout. To meet these demands, operators are turning to autonomous intelligent networks, designed to ingest massive amounts of data and autonomously execute actions at high speed. The journey to autonomous intelligent networks is not a technology project—it is a mandatory operational shift to protect margins and accelerate time-to-service. This has led to concepts such as a DarkNOC, a network operations center th

What’s new in post-quantum cryptography in RHEL 10.1

by No author

In May 2025, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL) shipped with the first steps toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect against attacks by quantum computers, which will make attacks on existing classic cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curves feasible. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC) are still not known to exist, but that does not mean the risk is zero. For example, "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks do not need a quantum computer now, one only needs to become available before the stored encrypted data loses its value, and depending on the transferr

From if to how: A year of post-quantum reality

by No author

For the last 5 years, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has largely been discussed as a research topic. It was a question of if—if the standards are ratified, if the algorithms perform, if the threat is real.In 2025, Red Hat changed the conversation. We stopped asking “if” and started defining “how.” This past year, we moved PQC out of the laboratory and into the operating system (OS). It wasn’t just about upgrading libraries, it was about pushing the entire modern software supply chain. We found that while the foundation is ready, the ecosystem has a long way to go.Here is the story

Context as architecture: A practical look at retrieval-augmented generation

by No author

In a previous article, The strategic choice: Making sense of LLM customization, we explored AI prompting as the first step in adapting large language models (LLMs) to real-world use. Prompting changes how an AI model responds in terms of tone, structure, and conversational behavior without changing what the model knows.That strategy is effective until the model requires specific information it did not encounter during its initial training.At that point, the limitation is no longer conversational—it is architectural.Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) helps address that limitation.

Red Hat AI: Modular building blocks for scalable, repeatable model customization

by No author

Taking generative AI (gen AI) from experimentation to enterprise deployment is never one-size-fits-all. Healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail each have their own vocabularies, data quirks, and compliance challenges. These complexities can’t be addressed with generic workflows because real, business-critical deployments demand depth, control, and precision.Red Hat AI offers a model customization experience that builds on the success of InstructLab, evolving it into a modular architecture powered by Python libraries created by Red Hat. This approach preserves InstructLab’s core stre

Overcoming the cost and complexity of AI inference at scale

by No author

Operationalizing AI models at scale is a critical challenge for IT leaders. While the initial cost of training a large language model (LLM) can be significant, the real and often underestimated expense is tied to inference.AI inference—the process of using a trained model to generate an output—is the most resource-intensive and costly part of an AI application, especially because it happens constantly during production. Inefficient inference can compromise an AI project's potential return on investment (ROI) and negatively impact customer experience due to high latency.The full-stack appro

From tokens to caches: How llm-d improves LLM observability in Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.0

by No author

As enterprises scale large language models (LLMs) into production, site reliability engineers (SREs) and platform operators face a new set of challenges. Traditional application metrics—CPU usage, request throughput, memory consumption—are no longer enough. With LLMs, reliability and efficacy are defined by entirely new dynamics—token-level performance, cache efficiency, and inference pipeline latency.This article explores how llm-d, an open source project co-developed with the leading AI vendors (Red Hat, Google, IBM, etc.) and integrated into Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.0, redefines observa
