Red Hat, the leading developer and provider of open source solutions, and Bull
have signed an agreement that names Bull as an authorised technical partner and
integrator for Red Hat products on Bull's Express5800 server range. The
agreement allows Bull to integrate Red Hat's software into its business and
enables Bull to offer its clients early loading of Red Hat 6.1 on its
Express5800 servers. Bull will also be able to deliver support and training
services as part of its GlobalCare services range, focussing on the
integration, administration and system support of Linux.
For Red Hat, this partnership is the first of many with a French IT company,
which will play a major role in providing solutions for companies across the
European continent.
Andy Dickens, European Sales Director for Red Hat Europe, says: "This agreement
is the conclusion of a relationship started last year and resulting in an
partnership which fully satisfies the two parties at a turning point for Red
Hat."
Jean-Philippe Chirarella, Vice- President for Intel Servers Business Unit for
Bull, comments: "This agreement very clearly embodies our intention to broaden
the spectrum of available solutions on our Express5800 servers. It also enables
us to meet the expectations of our clients who wish to become involved with
Linux."
Jean Rosnowski, Vice President of System Services Activity for Bull, adds: "We
are happy that Red Hat has chosen to work with Bull to allow Linux to develop
its presence in segments of the market such as administration or training,
through the high quality of services offered in GlobalCare." - ends - The Bull
