Explore the advantages of partnering with us
Red Hat partners benefit from a host of financial incentives, as well as free product subscriptions, free training, a massive partner library, exclusive support, and more.
Financial incentives
Each partner becomes part of the world’s leading ecosystem of open source solutions. While the ecosystem alone can lead to new opportunities, our products are the foundation of our partners’ revenue-generating opportunities.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Our partners have tripled revenue by bringing Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® to customers.1
Help thousands migrate off CentOS Linux.
Move SAP ERP users to our Linux operating system so they can run SAP S/4HANA ERP by 2027.
Upgrade customers to new versions.
Red Hat OpenShift
Our partners have seen 70% margins on partner-owned software built on Red Hat OpenShift®.2
Help customers migrate their virtual machines.
Spin up Red Hat OpenShift on customers’ cloud providers, like AWS.
Introduce customers to artificial intelligence and edge computing.
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Partners have experienced a 40% growth in new deals by including Ansible® Automation Platform.3
Help free Ansible users become Ansible Automation Platform customers.
Empower new automation users by introducing Red Hat Ansible Inside.
Use customers’ committed spend to bring Ansible Automation Platform to their clouds.
The value of these opportunities is multiplied by our partner incentives—which are evolving alongside our program improvements to offer transparent and predictable front-end discounts, back-end rebates, programmatic market development funding (MDF), and tier-based rewards. These program incentives will encourage you to interact with customers through highly skilled sellers, provide additional services, and maintain existing accounts through regular customer engagement. Our incentives also flex as part of our deal registration benefit to increase rewards to partners that independently close new deals in key commercial segments and strategic growth areas—such as AI, edge computing, and the cloud.
