“Q: What is the background of your company and
its involvement with Linux?”
“A: We come from the corporate computing
background, where most of us have been involved with enterprise and
high performance computing for over fifteen years. Most of us were
involved with the development of DIGITAL UNIX, which is the Tru64
UNIX product.”
“We completely believe in the open-source movement. We recognize
the opportunity where the need for having a mission critical
support services provider was vital in allowing the Linux movement
to move into the enterprise space. Having recognized that, we tried
to pull together a strong team to go after that particular market
space.”
“Instead of having the classic consultant model, we’ve stepped
back and looked at the Linux environment to figure out what’s
missing out there and what we can do technology-wise to really
differentiate ourselves. And then we went out and developed those
technologies in house, and we set the appropriate processes around
those technologies that could marry our engineering with the
technology that was available.”
