Red Hat Shuns 'Windows Clone' Model for Global Desktop | |
|
||
| Time: 13:47 EST/18:47 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
"Our enterprise desktop has some 1,500 applications, so we stripped this down to about 700 by getting rid of a lot of things like developer tools and compilers, which helped reduce the hardware requirements for the system," Gerry Riveros, head of Red Hat client solutions marketing, said at a press conference here at the company's annual summit. The product initially will be targeted at small businesses and governments in emerging countries, a market that partner Intel and its associates knows very well, Riveros said. While the desktop is not another "Windows clone, it is also not a new desktop environment as it is based on RHEL Desktop 5. The key for us was getting the feature set these customers wanted, and then getting it into the channel for distribution," he said. | ||

"First off, Szulik admitted to keeping a not so watchful eye on server virtualization leader VMware. During an interview session with reporters, we pointed out that VMware brings in more money these days than Red Hat. For example, VMware reported $704m in revenue during its last fiscal year versus just $401m for Red Hat. VMware grew revenue at almost 100 per cent year-over-year, while Red Hat grew revenue 44 per cent.
"I have never heard that statistic before that they are making more money (than we are)," Szulik said. Such a comment caught us by surprise since VMware has been making more money than Red Hat per quarter for quite some time and since the two companies have such close ties. After all, VMware makes most of its money by allowing customers to run more than one copy of Red Hat per physical server. Apparently, that's a much healthier business to be in that actually producing and servicing the Red Hat operating system." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/09/redhat_szulik_vmware/ |
