Customers using custom-developed or third-party ISV applications certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other Red Hat solutions can trust that their applications will perform seamlessly in public cloud environments or with managed service providers like FNTS.

“Being a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider demonstrates FNTS’s ability to deliver a scalable, supported, and secure environment for enterprise hybrid cloud deployments,” said Kim Whittaker, President of FNTS. “We are proud to offer our clients Red Hat solutions to support their hosted and managed service needs while providing ongoing technical and business guidance.”
