“Linux software vendor Red Hat…has expanded its
Internet-centric strategic partnership with Oracle Corp…the
world’s second largest software company and provider of Linux-based
database solutions.”
“Central to the latest agreement is a new version of the Red Hat
Linux OS package that is specifically designed to accelerate the
adoption of Linux by firms who are migrating their business
operations online. The updated product “will be optimized to meet
the increasing high availability, clustering and Java support
demands of today’s emerging e-businesses,” said a joint
statement.”
“In practical terms, Oracle and Red Hat will partner with
industry and Linux community members to complement the updated Red
Hat product with such features as a large file system and memory
facilities, along with integrated Java (JRE) and Motif 2.1, among
others.“
