IBM and Red Hat just introduced the Red Hat Marketplace, which they say offers “one-stop shopping.” Additionally, the new Red Hat Marketplace Select offers what they say is a private, personalized marketplace experience.

IBM operates both the Red Hat Marketplace and Marketplace Select. Each offers software – built on Red Hat OpenShift – from a broad range of ISVs.

The new Red Hat Marketplace exists because of a robust partner ecosystem.

“Our mission is to help customers find, try, buy and deploy software with ease, regardless of where they are in their cloud journey,” Kate Kwiatkowski, business development leader for Red Hat Marketplace, wrote in a blog. “We can’t do that without building a world-class partner ecosystem to offer enterprise developers all of the options they need to build applications that can address virtually every use case, across industries.”

Products and ISVs

There are more than 50 commercial products available for purchase in the marketplace. This includes solutions across 12 categories — AI/ML, database, monitoring, security, storage, big data, developer tools and more. Examples of current ISV partners include: Anchore, Cockroach Labs, CognitiveScale, Couchbase, Dynatrace, KubeMQ, MemSQL, MongoDB, and StorageOS.
