[News] GNU/Linux Hits More Major Performance Records

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

24 Core, 48GB RAM Linux cluster runs on 400W

| The Helmers project shows that there is 3x the performance at 1/2x the cost 
| for those willing to innovate. By no small coincidence, this is what I see 
| every day when I visit Red Hat customers who are replacing proprietary 
| systems with open source solutions. It still amazes me how much money some 
| companies will spend on these proprietary solutions year in and year out 
| because they refuse to simply try something new and measure the results. 
| Still, necessity is the mother of invention, and as more and more companies 
| find themselves needing to change their status quo, I'm sure many of them 
| will discover for themselves a whole new price/performance level.

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!
