According to Forrester's evaluation, "With OpenShift's systematic innovation and development on multiple fronts, Red Hat has helped transform the MCP market segment.

We believe receiving the highest possible scores across 29 criteria validates Red Hat OpenShift as a holistic application platform providing organizations with a trusted set of capabilities to more quickly and easily bring cloud-native applications to market. We designed Red Hat OpenShift to support organizations regardless of workload type or where an application lives across the hybrid cloud and will continue to evolve and refine its features to best support customer innovation today and in the future." -- Joe Fernandes, vice president and general manager, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Red Hat
