While Red Hat is growing by cross-selling and large deals, Red Hat’s CEO Jim Whitehurst commented that a big part of his company’s go-to-market motion is taking share from competitors.

“Whether that was UNIX to Linux or Windows to Linux or WebLogic to JBoss, and that continues and actually cloud accelerates that,” Whitehurst said. “So we continue to take share nicely as well as win solid share of new workloads that are moving to cloud.”
