According to a recent IDC report, Red Hat has emerged as the number one Linux partner of choice for ISVs, hardware vendors, and middleware providers," commented Michael Evans, VP of Business Development at Red Hat. "We are happy to lead the way as Red Hat Linux Advanced Server breaks into all levels of the enterprise, and we welcome our partners to the party."


 

"BEA is committed to delivering a unified, simplified and extensible application infrastructure platform to our customers," said Gamiel Gran, vice president, strategic alliances, BEA Systems. "BEA WebLogic Server 7.0 provides superior scalability and reliability on all of the major platforms, including Red Hat Linux, to deliver a low cost alternative to the enterprise."

"Borland is proud to be presenting our C++ version of Kylix 3, the number one Linux IDE with Red Hat at LinuxWorld," said Simon Thornhill, vice president and general manager of Borland. "With Kylix running on Red Hat Linux, companies can quickly develop and deliver database, GUI, Web, and Web services applications in one integrated environment.
