Boomi and Red Hat announced on May 13 a strategic collaboration to deliver an integrated stack for deploying agentic artificial intelligence at scale. The companies said the partnership aims to help organizations build, govern, and orchestrate AI agents across business processes with improved consistency, control, and cost management.
The collaboration is intended to address challenges faced by organizations that must assemble multiple vendor solutions for production AI systems. Boomi and Red Hat say their unified approach will make it easier for enterprises to create AI agents that solve real business problems while maintaining standards for data sovereignty, infrastructure flexibility, and reliability.
According to the announcement, Boomi’s Agentstudio will connect AI agents directly to live enterprise data across applications and systems. The solution also includes Boomi Agent Control Tower and Gateway tools designed to enforce policy guardrails and provide visibility into agent actions. An orchestration layer coordinates agents in order to reduce rogue execution or unexpected costs. Red Hat’s contribution includes an open source foundation with application observability services intended for continuous governance of AI operations.
Red Hat’s platform offers a Kubernetes-native runtime for high-performance inferencing along with security-optimized agents that can be deployed across hybrid cloud environments or sovereign data centers. Boomi’s model router is designed to assign prompts based on task complexity in real time as part of cost optimization efforts.
Mike Ferris, chief strategy officer and chief operations officer at Red Hat, said: “The next era of the enterprise will be defined by those who can move AI from a centralized experiment to a distributed business reality. By combining Red Hat’s enterprise open source AI foundation with Boomi’s agentic orchestration, we are helping organizations with the architectural sovereignty to lead in AI without compromising their data, their costs, or their future autonomy.”
Steve Lucas, chairman and chief executive officer at Boomi added: “Every enterprise leader I talk to is asking the same question: ‘how do I get real AI ROI without losing control of my data, my security posture, or my budget?’ The answer isn’t stitching together dozens of vendors; it’s having a unified platform. With Red Hat, we’re giving organizations the ability to activate their data, orchestrate AI across the business, and run it with enhanced security in their own environment at a cost that makes AI viable at scale.”
The companies encourage interested parties to follow updates from this week’s Red Hat Summit keynotes streamed live online.
