Red Hat To Showcase Open Source Enterprise Solutions At GITEX 2007

Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that it will be attending the 27th Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX). At the event, Red Hat will present its latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform to its Middle Eastern partners and to potential customers.

At GITEX, Red Hat will present a number of solutions that will enable customers to extract maximum value from their IT infrastructure. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the company's new operating system, enables customers to greatly reduce the cost and complexity of purchasing, integrating and managing separate virtualization, storage management and high availability software. The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform offers an open, low-cost, high-value migration foundation for customers to modernize legacy application infrastructures to service-oriented architectures (SOA).
As part of the company’s continued business development and continued investment in the Middle East, Red Hat is attending GITEX for the second time to support its partner activities in the region. Red Hat has a number of partnerships with Middle Eastern distributors including Linux Plus, Daleelteq and OpenNET, that will also be present at Red Hat's GITEX booth.
"GITEX is the best platform in the region for us to present and demonstrate the benefits of the combined Red Hat and JBoss solutions to our Middle Eastern partners," said Francois Lucatelli, channel manager for the Middle East at Red Hat. “Regional Advanced Partners play a vital role in our global development and long-term business strategy and we are pleased to support them with joint activities at the show."
The GITEX exhibition takes place 8 – 12 September 2007 in the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Red Hat booth will be located in Hall 6, stand A6-11.
