The FOSS Post - Insights on Red Hat, SUSE & Canonical; The Major Linux Companies
Today, the Linux operating system is used almost everywhere, from web servers, android devices, supercomputers and to IoT devices. Linux has become more than just an operating system, and because of this, it has created huge opportunities for enterprises to benefit from. This market allowed great tech companies to be established to fulfill its needs, which gave us the 3 major Linux companies: Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical. The business model for each of the major companies was similar: selling support services and subscriptions for their own open source and Linux-based products. Since its establishment in 1993, Red Hat grown to become the biggest Linux and open source company and a key player in the open source world. Red Hat offers a lot of solutions and services, however, Red Hat also provides a lot more than products and technologies. Red Hat certifications are one of the most valuable certifications in the Linux market. If you are planning to get a career in this field, you definitely should look into the RHCSA (Red Hat Certified System Administrator) or RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) courses. According to Red Hat, more than 90% of the top 500 fortune global companies rely on them for their infrastructure. The company is expecting a total revenue of around $2.4 billion for the fiscal year 2017 (which will end in February, 2017). Thus, making it–fairly–the largest open source company in the world.
