Stop Reacting to Vendor Timelines: A Better Way to Optimize Your Linux Estate

Enterprise IT has reached a critical juncture. As infrastructure scales across hybrid, multi-cloud, edge, and AI-enabled environments, organizations are increasingly pressured to deliver greater value with fewer resources. Managing rising costs, vendor lock-in, and escalating operational risk has become a primary challenge for the modern enterprise.

For leadership, this environment creates significant budget pressure and a loss of sovereignty over the IT roadmap. For platform teams, the result is often operational drag and reactive maintenance that stalls essential modernization efforts.

A Framework for Sustainable Optimization

True optimization requires moving beyond proprietary constraints. On February 26, 2026, join our expert-led session, “Optimize Cost and Reduce Complexity with an Open IT Infrastructure,” to explore a practical framework for simplifying Linux operations and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

We will demonstrate how a standardized, agent-ready infrastructure enables measurable savings and long-term flexibility without compromising security, compliance, or digital sovereignty.

Key Areas of Discussion:

• Unified Linux Management: Strategies to manage your entire Linux estate—including RHEL and Ubuntu—from a single control plane to eliminate tool sprawl.
• Operational Efficiency at Scale: Implementing policy-driven automation to replace manual patching, thereby reducing lifecycle management costs.
• Foundation for Agentic AI: Why successful AI implementation depends on a standardized Linux foundation to ensure auditability and intelligent automation.
• Verifiable Security and Compliance: Utilizing a software supply chain evaluated by Common Criteria EAL4+ to support regulatory requirements and reduce unplanned downtime.
• Digital Sovereignty: Protecting your organization against vendor dependency and forced migrations to maintain control over long-term cost structures.
• Investment Preservation: Leveraging 100% compatible multi-Linux support to extend the life of current systems and avoid the risks of “rip and replace” strategies.

Designed for Infrastructure Leadership

This session is specifically curated for VPs of Infrastructure and Operations and senior I&O leaders responsible for maintaining critical systems while navigating EOL pressure and increasing security requirements. Attendees will leave with a practical roadmap for aligning Linux operations with business outcomes—rather than vendor constraints.

Featured Speakers

Join us to hear from Rick Spencer, GM of Engineering, and Jeff Mahoney, VP of Linux Systems, as they share strategic insights on infrastructure optimization. They are joined by Eric Wahlquist, Sr. Content Marketing Manager, to discuss how a unified Linux platform directly supports business outcomes.
