Red Hat Numbers Show Linux Has Staying Power

executives say the story behind the numbers

Overall revenue for Red Hat was up double digits, by 12 percent, with subscription revenue up by 15 percent. With other segments of IT, like the PC space, happy to be flat on a year-over-year basis, that's saying something.

Red Hat is seeing, from its installed base of customers that enterprises have long ago moved beyond the "try it before you buy it" phase with Linux and now it appears they're in for a much longer haul. This could have significant repercussions throughout IT, as corporations and even governments begin the process of long-term planning after the rebound from the economic downturn.
