Introducing the Red Hat Automotive industry vertical team
Red Hat recently established an Automotive industry vertical team dedicated to and charged with building Red Hat’s presence within the industry, strengthening customer and partner relationships, and developing compelling new solutions.
Harald Ruckriegel is the Chief Technologist of the EMEA Automotive industry vertical team. Based in Germany, Harald has over 16 years of experience as an IT professional, mostly in the automobile industry. He comes to Red Hat from the BMW Group, where he was most recently responsible for overall IT strategy within their 360 degree global digitalization team. He is passionate about open innovation and organization, as well as leading-edge technologies.
Harald and his colleagues are part of the Red Hat strategic business development team in EMEA. Part of their charter includes strengthening Red Hat’s automotive partner ecosystem, including DXC Technology.
Red Hat and DXC have seen some early successes partnering to solve automakers’ autonomous driving challenges. Joint solutions delivered includes DXC’s Managed Container Platform-as-a-Service (MCPaas), which utilizes emerging technologies like Red Hat OpenShift and Ansible.
Since then, DXC, in partnership with Red Hat, has expanded its reach by developing an offering for data driven development in Automotive, called DXC Robotic Drive. This solution is based on DXC’s experiences with specific automakers and used the reference architecture of MCPaaS for bare metal as a starting point.
Check out this DXC case study featuring BMW Group.
Red Hat is working with DXC to design the next generation of MCPaaS, which will:
- Meet the latest requirements of multi-tenant autonomous driving development
- Allow for the cooperation of multiple brands and third-party providers on the same platform
- Include features from the current OpenShift 4.2 and upcoming 4.3 releases
