Red Hat Position In Datacenter Solidified With Latest Release

Red Hat Inc, a premier open source software provider, announced a major milestone in the company’s long-term strategy of delivering an Open Source Architecture to the enterprise. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 is now available supporting a greatly increased range of IT deployments and spanning seven hardware architectures. Emphasizing scalability, performance and extended system coverage, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 provides a stable operating system platform that enables customers to realize the benefits of open source solutions across their complete computing infrastructure — from the desktop to the largest server.

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 marks a significant achievement in the maturation of open source,” said Paul Cormier, executive vice president of engineering at Red Hat. “This release will act as the unifying platform, and will support seven hardware architectures for both client and server deployments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has gained the reputation as the de facto enterprise Linux standard. This second generation solution from Red Hat will strengthen Red Hat’s global foothold in the enterprise and eliminate the need for proprietary Unix.”
