红帽再掀开源发展新高潮

红帽CTO Brian Stevens访华暨红帽中国公司成立一周年

-

今天,全球领先的企业级开放源代码解决方案供应商红帽公司(NASDAQ: RHAT)首席技术官Brian
Stevens先生造访中国,同时也是红帽软件(北京)公司成立一周年。在今天召开的新闻发布会上,Brian
Stevens先生做了主题为“开源架构的发展”的演讲,并发布了红帽2006年至2007年的技术规划。



Brian
Stevens指出,随着信息技术的不断发展,客户的要求越来越高:不断降低IT成本、提高企业灵活性、简化基础平台、缩短实施时间等等。同时,随着政
府、企业对开源软件的认识和支持的与日俱增,开源软件正在全球范围内掀起应用高潮。作为这股潮流的领导者,红帽公司将继续关注如何帮助客户降低IT基础设
施成本,大力发展虚拟化、可迁移Linux等技术,并推广开发者赋能计划,以提高机构效率和灵活性、减少成本。



Brian Stevens 还介绍了
2006年前后的四大市场机会以及红帽相应的四个发展重点,这四个发展重点分别是:发展中小企业、政府等新客户;积极向中国、巴西、俄罗斯和印度几个地区
进行投资;完善核心平台扩展;提供解决方案测试服务。



在红帽将中国等几个地区作为重点发展地区的同时,红帽中国也在成立一周年之际交出了一份令人满意的答卷 - - 红帽中国成功实施了“三角战略”,为公司今后的
发展奠定了坚实的基础。“三角战略”是红帽公司在去年进入中国市场后不久提出的,包括政府(开源模式)、企业用户和教育培训三个层面。经过一年的发展,红
帽三个层面均取得了实质的进展。



在与政府及国内Linux相关机构的合作过程中,红帽积极参与中国Linux标准和认证平台的工作,其中包括与中国电子技术标准化研究所合作开发基础软件
研究项目,大力支持中国Linux标准的制定;与信息产业部软件与集成电路促进中心(CSIP)合作,积极投入Linux认证平台的建设等。



在企业用户层面,一年来,红帽在中国继续了和IBM、惠普、戴尔、甲骨文等全球合作伙伴的紧密合作,同时更积极地发展本土合作伙伴,旨在共同为国内企业客
户提供切合需求的整体解决方案。8月,红帽与IBM公司联合发起针对国内独立软件供应商的Linux联合赋能计划,旨在通过将本地独立软件供应商的解决方
案迁移到Linux平台,进而推动更多终端客户选择Linux。目前,该项目进展顺利。已有8家独立软件供应商完成了全部迁移和认证工作,其他16家正在
进行技术平台的迁移,可望在年内全部完成。12月,红帽大中华区技术支持中心在北京成立,将为国内客户提供快捷高效的服务。



在教育培训方面,红帽更是不遗余力,针对国内政府企业主管IT的专业人员、软件开发人员和爱好者、大中专学生等实施了多层次的教育、培训工作。红帽与神州
数码、上海文华学院和广东省Linux公共服务技术支持中心建立联盟关系,共同将红帽全球认证培训服务(Global Learning
Service)全面引入中国市场,同时还与LUPA等Linux高校推进联盟展开了密切的合作。11月底,红帽又宣布在中国市场大力推广全球培训服务,
包括开通全中文的免费评估测试系统及提供全中文的课程介绍,并在新办公地址开设专门的培训教室。



8月,Fedora中国镜像网站正式开通,除了与全球Fedora站点同步向中国Linux社区发布Fedora
核心,方便中国Linux社区利用这些代码和程序开发开源解决方案外,它还为本地Linux社区成员参与开源操作系统构建提供了一个开放平台,从而使他们
能够为开放系统的发展做出更多贡献。



红帽公司大中华区总经理陈实先生回顾一年来红帽在中国的发展历程和取得的成绩:“红帽作为企业级开放源代码解决方案的领先者一直致力于推动开放源码的发
展,在中国也不例外。这一年来我们的表现和所取得的成绩完全证明了我们对中国市场的重视和投入。稳健、务实、信守承诺将始终是红帽中国坚守的信条。今后,
我们将投入更多的人力和财力,继续推广开源软件在中国的应用,为中国开源软件的发展贡献一份力量。”



在红帽中国成立一周年之际,还有一件锦上添花的喜事 - - 红帽中国今天正式迁入位于北京中央商务区的财富中心,更宽阔的办公室反映了公司一年来的高速成长,
更预示着未来的发展空间。也代表了红帽公司对中国市场的极大重视。
