“Red Hat, Inc., (Nasdaq:RHAT), a leader in developing, deploying
and managing open source Internet infrastructure, today announced
that the Internet Audio Division of 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq:COMS),
uses Red Hat Linux to power its Web and database servers. These
servers power the Kerbango Tuning Service–the heart of 3Com’s
forthcoming Kerbango Internet Radio, which will provide easy access
to thousands of worldwide Internet audio streams without a personal
computer.”
“Our Web servers running on Red Hat Linux are currently
experiencing an uptime of 308 days with roughly 99.9 percent
availability worldwide,” said John Bryant, director of Internet
development for 3Com’s Internet Audio Division. “We selected Red
Hat because of its reliability and position in the Linux space. Its
pre- made Linux packages and overall support of Linux development
made it the obvious choice for us.”
“3Com’s Kerbango Internet Radio, expected to be available later
this year, will use the Kerbango Tuning Service to allow consumers
to find and listen to Internet audio from around the world–without
a computer.”
