Red Hat: Right On the Radar of Cisco, HP, Dell, IBM and Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Sure, Microsoft has always liked to tout the existence of competition to ward
| off antitrust issues, but it has to watch Red Hat closely these days, just as
| all of the major players in servers do. Cisco is very wise to pursue a
| relationship with Red Hat, and is sponsoring the Red Hat Summit even as the
| company curtails its own event spending. I also won't be surprised to see Red
| Hat's and Cisco's cloud computing initiatives increasingly converge over
| time.
