An Open Source Vendor's Biggest Competitor: Its Customers?
,----[ Quote ]
| When my colleague Charles Babcock spoke to Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst, one
| sentence that fairly leapt out at me was "[Red Hat's] biggest competitor is
| simply people who stop buying subscriptions." So where do they go from there?
|
| First, some context. The above statement appeared in a paragraph about the
| value of software subscriptions as Red Hat's major revenue stream. Obviously
| there are any number of reasons why people would stop buying Red Hat
| subscriptions, with them finding another product line being one of the
| biggest Another would be that they've reached a comfortable plateau of
| functionality for the time being and don't see a pressing need to throw more
| money at stuff that simply goes unused.

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.

| that the crisis would cause companies to consolidate their technology
| infrastructure and reduce spending.

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.
