w ? Demonstrate higher efficiencies (economical, technical, processes) when deploying on System z hy ● Innovate Linux on System z Technology. Embrace “Linux is Linux” w ● Create & Expand Linux on System z Communities w w or h kl at oa ds ? ● ho ? Red Hat’s System z Mission
Expand the Community ● Through Sales – ● North American Government is 30% of global installation base
Expand the Community ● Through Sales
Expand the Community ● Through Training & Academia – Undergraduate programs
Innovate the Technology COMMUNITY - Development with “upstream communities” - Kernel, glibc, Apache, etc - Collaboration with open source community; individuals, business partners, customers
Innovate the Technology FEDORA - Bleeding edge - Sets technology direction for RHEL - Community supported - Released ~6mo cycles - Fedora 8,9,10 = RHEL6
Innovate the Technology RHEL - Stable, matured - Q&A, testing - H/W & S/W Certifications - 7yr maintenance - Core ABI compatibility - Major releases 2-3yr cycle
