Technology Giant Plans Open Source Channel Partner Initiative
,----[ Quote ]
| Tech Data, a $24 billion technology giant with deep Microsoft relationships,
| has developed a 24-month plan to emerge as “the voice for open source in
| distribution,” The VAR Guy has learned. The proposed strategy includes
| potential open source hardware solutions from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and
| Fujitsu. And it has broad implications for the software industry and the
| global IT channel. Here’s the scoop.
|
| First, the official statement from Tech Data: “I can confirm that Tech Data
| is working on this topic [open source in the channel], but it would be
| premature to discuss the details at this time,” according to a spokesman for
| the technology distributor.

Is This the Tipping Point for Open Source “in the Channel”?

| Those are serious numbers: if this comes off – the timescale is over the next
| year or so - I think we can expect an equally serious boost to the entire
| enterprise free software ecosystem. I can't wait.

| as those who have moderate and predictable use of e-mail and office tools
