RED HAT AND OPEN SOURCE

Open source returns control and choice to your customer. It allows users to take advantage of the rapid innovations made by engineers around the world. Red Hat feels that the open source development model leads to more secure, higher-quality code because of the large community of engineers and users contributing to it.

If your customer doesn't like how one vendor is serving them, they are free to choose another without overhauling their IT infrastructure. This means:

  • No more monopolies that dictate what your customer can do.
  • No more arbitrary pricing. Vendors have to prove their value every day.
  • No more technology lock-in with high switching costs.

You and your customers have a choice.

Here's why you should choose Red Hat.
