Applications are moving beyond predefined workflows toward agentic systems that can reason, use tools, interact with enterprise data, execute code, delegate work and collaborate with other agents to accomplish goals. This has driven the development of new capabilities in areas like agent sandboxing to secure agent execution, AI gateways to secure access to models and tools, AgentOps for tracing, observability, evaluation and more. We believe another important layer of the enterprise AI stack is emerging: an open control plane for agents.
This is why we’re excited about contributing to OpenClaw and the newly announced OpenClaw Enterprise, an enterprise-grade control plane for deploying and operating persistent agents across users and teams. From rapid innovation to enterprise-readiness OpenClaw has evolved rapidly over the past year, maturing from an agile open-source project into a production-grade foundation for AI agents. That evolution continues with the newly announced OpenClaw Enterprise project, built specifically to securely deploy these agents in enterprise environments.
Red Hat, NVIDIA and others are collaborating on OpenClaw Enterprise development in the open. Both OpenClaw and OpenClaw Enterprise are fully open source, driving both innovation as well as transparency and trust for enterprise AI deployments. Our approach with OpenClaw follows a familiar playbook at Red Hat. Throughout Red Hat's history, some of the biggest changes in enterprise computing have been driven by fundamental shifts in how applications are built and operated.
Linux helped enterprises move applications from proprietary Unix systems and specialized hardware onto an open operating system running on industry-standard infrastructure. Later, containers and Kubernetes helped drive another transformation toward cloud-native applications composed of distributed microservices. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift helped make those transitions possible for many enterprise customers, powered by Red Hat’s extensive work in upstream projects to drive underlying technologies that are open, trusted, and secure.
