Red Hat out-marathons the pack in financial services
,----[ Quote ]
| In financial services, speed is the difference between making money and
| losing money,” said Scott Crenshaw, vice president of Red Hat’s platform
| business unit. “The result is clear: more data, faster data, means better
| trades and better decisions.”

| As if that weren’t enough, Crenshaw struck a blow to proprietary
| software. “We were 2.4 times faster than Sun Microsystems,” he crowed,
| comparing Red Hat’s 5.8 million updates with Sun Solaris’ record of 2.4
| million updates.

| Go, open source! Guess you should have been here for the Boston Marathon!
