“”For the fourth consecutive quarter, we set a record for deals
over $1 million,” Red Hat CFO Charlie Peters said during the
company’s earnings call. “27 of the top 30 deals in the quarter
exceeded $1 million, a 69 percent increase over Q3 of last fiscal
year, and five deals exceeded $5 million, a new quarterly
record.”Those big deals aren’t just about Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
they’re also about JBoss. Peters noted that approximately 40
percent of Red Hat’s top deals include a middleware component, and
four deals were actually standalone middleware deals over $1
million.
