Red Hat's Solution Provider Program is a multi-tiered partner model with three partnership levels that access a variety of benefits to help develop your expertise and increase your capability to sell and deliver Red Hat technologies. As your commitment to and knowledge of Red Hat technologies grows, the benefits you receive from Red Hat will also grow.
All partners who have successfully completed the onboarding process as a Solution Provider begin at the Ready Partner level. To be considered for either Advanced or Premier Business Partner levels, a request for a program upgrade must be submitted through the Red Hat Connect for Business Partners Portal.
