The Value of Red Hatâs Subscription Model and Support

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, a number of vendors have come forth 
| stating support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
| and forked distributions offered by others in 
| the industry. At Red Hat, we know that truly 
| supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not 
| only about support services, but also about 
| the value of the entire Red Hat subscription.

Red Hat's CEO on Obama jobs summit â 'Creating jobs the open source way'

,----[ Quote ]
| That said, as the leader of Red Hat, I think 
| I bring a different perspective. As indicated 
| in our recent filings, Red Hat has grown â 
| both revenue and people â and has done so at 
| a double digit pace in the worst recession of 
| modern times. And so, while it is important 
| to restart job growth in stagnant areas of 
| the economy, I think it is just as important 
| to look to approaches that are working to 
| inform our countryâs broader economic 
| efforts.

Red Hat innovation flows from Westford

,----[ Quote ]
| âI have major products going on in the
| Czech Republic and China and Australia and
| some on the West Coast, but this is the
| central place for all that,â Cormier said.
|
| Those products are all based on Red Hatâs
| Fedora flavor of the open source Linux
| operating system, and the game-changer
| version for corporations, Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux, or RHEL. But selling an
| open source OS to big business was just a
| dream at Red Hat when Cormier came on board
| in 2000.

Red Hat is the open source company of the decade

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat has about 1,500 developers, a
| division run out of Massachusetts, meaning
| it can evaluate changes enterprises make to
| the system, incorporate what works best,
| keep the code base stable, and provide
| enterprise-grade support.

| London office yesterday, the battle to win the
| hearts and minds of enterprise outfits was slowly
| but surely starting to pay off.

,----[ Quote ]

Red Hat and Google share the CIO love

,----[ Quote ]
| For years, Red Hat sat unopposed at the top
| of the CIO Insight Vendor Value study. In
| 2008, however, Google pushed Red Hat aside
| with its low-cost, easy-to-use enterprise
| applications. This year, Red Hat has come
| roaring back to share the top ranking with
| Google.
|
| Could this be a sign of CIOs' restive
| relationships with traditional vendors and
| an increasingly insatiable appetite for the
| cost and ease-of-use advantages of open
| source and software as a service/cloud
| computing?

Red Hat share price passes Microsoft's

,----[ Quote ]
| Analysts say that while Red Hat's share
| price has been higher than today what is
| important is that actually it is worth the
| figure.

Red Hat passes Microsoftâs stock price, now what?

,----[ Quote ]
| Not since the heady days of the dotcom boom has the
| share market for an open source companyâs stock been
| brighter.
|
| As of the last Nasdaq trade on October 19, 2009, Red
| Hatâs share price stood at $28.46 with the mighty
| Microsoft in its shadow at $26.36.
|
| With so much noise made about IT company share prices
| over the years -- Michael Dell said he would shut down
| Apple if he was in charge, but then in 2006 Apple
| surpassed Dellâs market capitalization -- why did such a
| momentous occasion go unnoticed?
