Why is the Red Hat Catalyst Program important?
In 2008, IDC estimated that total open source ecosystem spending including customer acquisition of hardware, software, and related services totaled $21B in 2007 and will grow to $49B in 2011. This growth represents a significant opportunity for Red Hat and for our partners and we intend to capitalize on this growth by engaging our entire partner ecosystem. From ISVs to hardware vendors, VARs to distributors—all partners are included in the Red Hat Catalyst Program.
