Red Hat searches for mainstreet in the City of London
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's CEO said the firm has put together a five-year strategic plan for
| the first time in its history, which will see it jack up its sales management
| as it looks to expand beyond its traditional markets.
|
| [...]
|
| Unsurprising, Whitehurst once again claimed the current financial climate
| played to Red Hat's strengths, as companies look to squeeze their IT budgets
| further. Red Hat claims that by buying subscriptions to its products and
| services, companies can free up IT budget to spend on genuine technology
| innovation that they wouldn't by tying themselves into, say, Microsoft's
| somewhat more expensive licensing system. Or, presumably, just hoard it as
| they plough through the recession.

Red Hat: Crisis to boost open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The global economic crisis would provide a boost for open source software,
| Red Hat chief executive Jim Whitehurst claimed during a visit to Sydney this
| week.
|
| Whitehurst, who stopped over down under as part of a tour of the Asia-Pacific
| region, said in an interview with ZDNet Asia's sister site ZDNet Australia
| that the crisis would cause companies to consolidate their technology
| infrastructure and reduce spending.

No Recession at Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| It is flattering to be mentioned, Mr. Whitehurst said, but he noted that
| corporate customers and the industry benefit from what he called Red
| Hat’s “Switzerland status” — not being a province of one of the major powers
| in the technology industry.

Red Hat Exchange Doubles Quarterly Bookings, Boosts Zimbra and MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| The VAR Guy thought Red Hat Exchange — an online store the software company
| launched last year — would be an overnight hit. It wasn’t. But after some
| tinkering, Red Hat Exchange (RHX) seems to be taking off — and giving
| partners like MySQL and Zimbra a lift as well. In fact, the site’s bookings
| doubled in Red Hat’s most recent quarter, The VAR Guy has learned. Here’s how
| Red Hat got RHX on track.
