Red Hat has made an important extension of its partnership with NVIDIA, with the goal of enhancing the adoption of AI within the enterprise by integrating open-source solutions with next-gen AI infrastructure. The key objective would be pursuing development of an AI solution stack that is fullyLisa-pipeline-optimized and based on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat AI.
With organizations scaling AI from pilots to frontline production environments, the infrastructure requirement is increasing at a faster pace. Moving to centralized AI strategies, agentic workloads, and real-time reasoning requires platforms. These must offer high performance along with stability, security, and consistent operations. Red Hat’s expanded partnership with NVIDIA is designed to meet these requirements from Day 0 of new hardware availability.
“NVIDIA’s architectural breakthroughs have made AI an imperative, proving that the computing stack will define the industry’s future,” said Matt Hicks, president and CEO, Red Hat. “To meet these tectonic shifts at launch, Red Hat and NVIDIA aim to provide Day 0 support for the latest NVIDIA architectures across Red Hat’s hybrid cloud and AI portfolios. Together, we are fueling the next generation of enterprise AI through the power of open source.”

At the core of the collaboration is Red Hat Enterprise Linux for NVIDIA, a new edition of Red Hat’s flagship operating system optimized for the NVIDIA Rubin platform. This offering provides enterprises with a launch-ready foundation for rack-scale AI while remaining fully aligned with the main Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution, allowing customers to transition seamlessly as workloads mature.
“Red Hat revolutionized enterprise computing with industrial-strength open-source software,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “In the age of AI, the entire computing stack—from chips and systems to middleware, models, and the AI lifecycle—is being reinvented from the ground up. Together, NVIDIA and Red Hat are industrializing open source to bring AI to the enterprise, starting with the Vera Rubin platform.”
Red Hat plans to extend Day 0 support beyond the operating system. This includes OpenShift and Red Hat AI. They will integrate NVIDIA infrastructure software, CUDA-X libraries, and advanced networking features. The goal is to create a secure, scalable AI platform. This platform will help enterprises deploy and manage next-generation AI workloads in hybrid cloud environments.
