As it expands into virtualization, open source vendor upbeat on RP prospects

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat, renowned for its open source 
| solutions, is going head-long into the 
| virtualization space and is hopeful that 
| local companies would adopt what arguably 
| is a double-barreled offering â open 
| source-based virtualization.

| The tech firm said the new product 
| offering, to be distributed and supported 
| locally by MSI-ECS Philippines starting in 
| late 2009, has the potential to benefit 
| local enterprises who need a robust but 
| inexpensive solution for their IT systems.
