Red Hat

Red Hat is a multinational software company and the world’s leading provider of enterprise open source solutions, with an office in the Boston Seaport. Its best-known products include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the OpenShift container and Kubernetes platform, and the Ansible Automation Platform, used by businesses to run applications across hybrid cloud environments. A growing portfolio of AI products, including Red Hat AI and OpenShift AI, helps companies build, deploy and monitor AI models.

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, Red Hat was acquired by IBM in 2019 and now operates as part of that company. Its software serves industries such as automotive, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications and the public sector, supporting work in virtualization, digital sovereignty, security and edge computing. The Seaport location is listed in the directory as an office, a workplace rather than a public-facing storefront.
