Story
Elsevier is based in the Netherlands and runs communication services operations at a scale where cloud landing zones cannot live in side channels. Infrastructure and application teams were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed platform operations and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs platform operations on Red Hat, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the product infrastructure and application teams actually open. Red Hat, an IBM company, provides enterprise open source platforms, including RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible, for hybrid cloud. For Elsevier, that means infrastructure and application teams can open one workflow, see cloud landing zones, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for cloud landing zones.
