Open source firm Red Hat has launched an online community and resource centre that features a single portal for partners to access sales enablement tools including targeted marketing materials on cloud services, virtualisation, platform and middleware offerings.
The Partner Center also includes an integrated case submission feature, deal registration, subscription management, training resources, specialisation requests and upgrades, as well as an interactive online forum where partners can offer continuous feedback, Red Hat said.
Red Hat said that it intends to enable partners to efficiently learn about its offerings to scale their businesses. The company is working to provide partners with the support they need to give customers an easy move to the cloud, with a specific focus on new offerings on virtualisation and cloud.
Mark Enzweiler, vice president of global channel sales at Red Hat, said: "We are enabling our business partners and resellers to deliver Red Hat subscriptions in a flexible consumption based model.
"We recognise that every business has different requirements and our cloud strategy lends itself to flexibility in the way end users choose to deploy the operating platform, virtualisation capabilities and middleware solutions. Now, through the Red Hat Partner Center we are making it easier for our partners to bring these cutting-edge technologies to their customers."
