Red Hat spekulativ kaufen
Focus Money

Dem spekulativ ausgerichteten Investor empfiehlt derzeit das Anlegermagazin "Focus Money" die Aktien von Red Hat (WKN 923989) zum Kauf.

Das Schöne an Linux sei, dass es dieses Betriebssystem überhaupt gebe. Bill Gates Microsoft-Imperium dominiere mit Windows den Markt. Ein Quasi-Monopol, dem User zunehmend Arroganz vorwerfen würden. Eine Antwort: Linux etwa von Red Hat.

Der Clou: Das Betriebssystem gebe es umsonst, Implementierung und Schulung würden Red Hat Geld bringen. "Die Partnerschaft mit Unternehmen wie Dell Computer, Hewlett-Packard und Oracle haben den Kunden klargemacht, dass unsere Technologie ökonomisch einsetzbar ist", sage der Red-Hat-Chef Matthew Szulik.

Immer mehr große Kunden wie jetzt auch IBM würden Linux akzeptieren. Selbst im Bundestag diskutiere man die Umstellung von Windows auf Linux. Der Grund: Viele Experten würden Linux für das sichere Betriebssystem halten.

Mutige Anleger schrecke das hohe Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis nicht. Sie würden auf eine erfolgreiche Attacke von Red Hat gegen das Gates-Imperium setzen.

Vor diesem Hintergrund rät das Anlegermagazin "Focus Money" zu einem spekulativen Engagement in die Aktien von Red Hat. Der Stoppkurs sollte bei 4,40 Euro platziert werden.

to organizations wanting to migrate to Red Hat Linux.

"A broader audience is seeking information on what Linux is and how it can benefit organizations," said Peter Childers, vice president of Learning Services at Red Hat. "The price-performance advantage makes Linux the clear choice for companies and governments looking to do more with less. CIOs, CTOs and IT managers are already starting to
see this, and many others want to get ready to support new Linux-based environments. These seminars provide a helpful roadmap."

The "Empowered by Red Hat" seminar is open to the public but seats and enrollments are limited. Special "Empowered by Red Hat" webcast seminars will be available to those unable to attend in person.

Tech firms set up Linux shop for City of London
30 Sep 2002, 1:56pm ET
E-mail or Print this story
- - - - -

AMSTERDAM, Sept 30 (Reuters) - A group of computer companies said on Monday they will open a Linux software and services shop in the City of London financial district on Tuesday, waving the prospect of 30 percent cost savings in front of investment banks and insurers eager to preserve cash.

The Linux centre where banks and insurers can learn about the free and open source Linux operating system, which competes with Microsoft`s Windows and Sun`s Solaris will be located at walking distance from the City`s square mile.

The venue will officially be opened on Tuesday, a day after insurance and banking stocks suffered further severe losses on global stock exchanges.

Several banks and insurers have been struggling with their diminishing cash positions that cover liabilities in the wake of collapsing equity markets in which they have invested.

The Dow Jones European insurance index <.SXIP> was one of Europe`s biggest sectoral losers on Monday, shedding 6.5 percent at 134.58 points around the close of trade. Europe`s banks <.SX7P> lost 5.9 percent.

The centre, headquartered at IBM`s London offices on the river Thames, will also offer services from Linux service provider Red Hat , chip maker Intel , applications software maker Oracle , media software producer RealNetworks and storage management software maker Veritas .

British computer resellers and services companies Computacenter and Morse also participate.

IBM`s European head of Linux services for the financial sector, Andy Cash, said he expects 20 to 30 percent of all banks to work with Linux in a few years time.

Very few banks currently use Linux because they are concerned about the support and long-term viability of the open source platform. Linux, which like Sun`s Solaris and Apple`s OS X is an operating system based on the widely relied upon Unix architecture, was developed by the Finn Linus Torvalds and improved by volunteer software engineers on the Internet.

Because Linux software is free to use companies only need to spend money on installation and maintenance.

"Linux typically offers a 30 percent price improvement on the systems banks use now," Cash said.

Red Hat Joins Forces with Dell, Public- and Private-Sector Leaders to Launch First Open Source Security Summit

2 Oct 2002, 08:08am ET
RALEIGH, N.C. & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 2, 2002--

Experts to Examine Critical Enterprise Security Issues and Open Source Solutions

Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT), the world`s premier open source and Linux provider, today announced the first Open Source Security Summit. The Security Summit will take place at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. on October 29, and will be cohosted by Dell.
The Security Summit will provide an open forum to discuss and explore how open source technologies, methodologies, tools, and support processes meet the challenges of securing networks and computer systems.
"Building a stable yet accessible infrastructure to protect
critical enterprise data and systems is a daunting challenge for most organizations," said Paul Cormier, executive vice president of Engineering at Red Hat. "Solutions which are architected using open
source technologies are meeting the challenges of securing systems and delivering to customers the highest level of security. Many of these open source technologies are in production today."
The Open Source Security Summit program will feature a global list of industry experts, including:

-- Marcus Sachs, the White House Office of Cyberspace Security
-- Bill Caelli, Queensland School of Software Engineering and Data Communications
-- Rob Walker, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
-- Steve Christey, MITRE Corporation
-- Shawn Hernan, CERT Coordination Center

Keynote speakers, panelists and attendees will explore the
assertion that the open source development model - based on code access, community resources and peer-to-peer design review - results in a more secure software product. Other topics to be discussed include:

-- Security innovation and homeland defense
-- Mandates of the open source community in relation to software integrity, design quality and responsiveness
-- Impact of collaboration and standardization on vulnerability accountability and responsiveness.

"Conventional perceptions of security are predicated on the
assumption that hidden is secure," said Stacey Quandt, Giga Group, a leading IT industry analyst. "Newspaper headlines on security vulnerabilities in many of the markets established by proprietary operating environments underscore the fact that hackers can and do find and exploit back doors and code vulnerabilities. Today some of
the most secure operating systems are based on the open source model.
The question begs how can you be sure that your environment is secure if you are running a proprietary operating system that cannot be examined or verified for secure coding?"

"This summit is an important opportunity for customers to learn about cutting-edge security technologies from the experts as well as to provide feedback on their own requirements," said Tom Buchsbaum, vice president, Defense and Intelligence Systems at Dell. "Red Hat and Dell are committed to helping customers achieve highly-secure IT
environments using standards-based technologies, while continuing to reduce total cost of ownership."
"The time is now for the IT industry to re-evaluate critical
infrastructure security perceptions and realities," said Shawn Hernan, team leader of vulnerability handling, CERT Coordination Center, the nation`s first and best-known computer emergency response team. "The industry can benefit by tearing down the walls that have prevented the flow of information in the past and the open source community can help lead the way."

Red Hat Underperformer


Die Analysten der High Tech Anlageberatung SoundView haben auf Grund der Ergebnisse des 2. Geschäftsquartals ihre Empfehlung für Aktien von Red Hat von "halten" auf "Underperformer" zurückgenommen. Die Ergebnisse von Red Hat im 2. Geschäftsquartal hätten den allgemeinen Erwartungen des Marktes entsprochen. Der Umsatz von 21,2 Mio. USD habe den Konsens und die Unternehmensprognose knapp verfehlt, das ausgeglichene Ergebnis/Aktie habe mit diesem übereingestimmt. Neben der Bestätigung der bereits früher bekanntgegebenen Schätzungen für 2003 habe Red Hat keine zusätzlichen Prognosen abgegeben. Das Umsatzwachstum des abgelaufenen Quartals sei ausschließlich in der Sparte "Dienstleistungen für Unternehmen" (im Quartalsvergleich +28%) erzielt worden. Dadurch sei der Anteil dieser Sparte am Gesamtumsatz von 45% im 1. Quartal auf 51% im 2. Quartal gestiegen. Red Hat sehe sich immer noch mit den Herausforderungen eines Ressourcen-sensiblen Dienstleistungsunternehmens konfrontiert, was zur Zeit auf die Margen drücke. Nach Meinung der Analysten verfüge Red Hat nur über begrenzte Möglichkeiten, 1) sein Servicegeschäft auszuweiten, um mit dem Wachstum am Linux-Markt Schritt zu halten, 2) auf Grund der unter Druck stehenden Margen seinen Gewinn zu erhöhen und 3) seine Software bezahlt zu bekommen. Die Analysten von SoundView empfehlen daher, Aktienbestände von Red Hat zu reduzieren. Ihr Kursziel bleibe bei 3 USD.

Red Hat to Expand Open Source Infrastructure at Villeroy & Boch; Global Manufacturing Organization Selects Red Hat Linux Advanced Server to Power IT Network

9 Oct 2002, 08:05am ET

STUTTGART, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2002--Red Hat, Inc.(Nasdaq:RHAT), the world`s premier open source and Linux provider, today announced that Villeroy & Boch, specialists in the manufacturing and marketing of ceramic products, has selected Red Hat Linux Advanced Server as the platform for the planned expansion of its IT infrastructure. Villeroy & Boch will deploy the Advanced Server operating system to run its SAP application and database servers following SAP certification, which is scheduled to be completed shortly. The company will initially install ten Red Hat Linux Advanced Servers and receive comprehensive Red Hat support, including cover on
various other in-house open source installations, such as the Apache Web servers.

As well as acquiring a high-performance and highly reliable IT infrastructure, Villeroy & Boch expects to substantially reduce operating costs by furthering its close co-operation with the open source market leader. This long-established company has already achieved considerable savings by migrating its HPUX-based Oracle systems to Red Hat Linux and the success of this project persuaded Villeroy to expand its partnership with Red Hat. Open source systems
have initially been rolled-out at the company`s head office in Mettlach on the border of Germany, Luxembourg and France.
"We have been deploying open source software, particularly from Red Hat, for some time now," said Klaus Lehnen, SAP Base Technology Team Manager at Villeroy & Boch. "Based on our own positive experience, we are confident that, with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server, we will be able to develop an infrastructure solution which will further enhance the reliability and efficiency of our IT systems."

With Red Hat Linux Advanced Server, Villeroy & Boch will also benefit from the wide-ranging support of the many leading ISVs and IHVs that are accredited partners of Red Hat, and work closely with them to develop corporate Linux solutions. This includes other industry leaders such as Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens, IBM and Oracle.
Certification by the following companies is due to follow shortly: BMC Software, Borland Software Corporation, CheckPoint Software Technologies, ComputerAssociates, Legato Systems, Novell, Rogue Wave Software, SAP, Softimage, Synopsis, Tibco Software and VERITAS Software.
"We are delighted that Red Hat Linux Advanced Server meets the rigorous demands of Villeroy & Boch for its state-of-the-art IT platform," said Joachim Kunze, Senior Sales Manager for Red Hat Central and Eastern Europe. "An endorsement by a company of such world standing underlines the excellent prospects for open source solutions within enterprise environments. This area of deployment will remain a major focal point for our future activities."

ist noch jemand so bullig ?

[Thommy2k]

Hi Trader ,

[mk10]

Hallo @all!

Ich denke auch, daß Linux Zukunft hat.
Habe seit kurzem Suse auf meinem PC und
bin sehr zufrieden.
Da Suse nicht börsennotiert ist, habe ich
Red Hat auf meiner Watchlist.
Habe leider nur wenige Infos über das Unternehmen...

Gruß
MK

[Thommy2k]

Red Hat ist Marktführer in USA ,
hat Kooperationen mit DEll , Oracle , IBM etc.
schreibt schwarze Zahlen und kostet bei riesigem Potenzial weniger als 1 Mia. §.
IBM hat PwC gekauft , wird jetzt wohl zahlreiche Banken und Institutionen bei Sparmaßnahmen u.ä. beraten und damit wohl was mit verkaufen ?
Vielleicht etwas , was keine Lizenzgebühren und zahlreiche Updates ... kostet ?

Mein Tip :

IBM kauft RHAT
(evtl. auch AOL nach Abspaltung Time Warner)
für 10 bis 20 $ innerhalb der naechsten 6 Monate u.a. um Microsoft in die Schranken zu weisen !

[Thommy2k]

...heute interessante ibm/pwc werbung in presse zu sehen...
bestaerkt meine spekulationen...

[Thommy2k]

sieht technisch wieder gut aus

4,5 muessen aber unbedingt halten

ueber 5 wird nur noch genossen und laufen gelassen

Opinion: The Memo That Roared: Microsoft and Open Source
44 minutes ago
James Maguire, www.osOpinion.com

The recent Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) internal memo about open source software demonstrates -- surprise -- that the company lacks affection for the open source movement.



• Is Windows Cheaper Than Linux?
• Microsoft Memo: How Not To Torpedo Linux
• Microsoft Reveals More Windows Code



"Messages that criticize OSS (open source software), Linux (news - web sites) and the GPL (general public license) are NOT effective," the memo declares, as if the most basic of truths must be issued in memo form to sink in.


It is clear from the memo (not that it wasn`t already crystal) that Microsoft feels fear and loathing toward Linux -- maybe more fear than loathing at this point.


The software giant went so far as to conduct a telephone survey of IT workers across the globe regarding open source. That shows a little weakness in the knees.


Hollywood Plot?


That Linux would seriously threaten Microsoft is a Utopian dream that I never would have expected to be realistic.


Imagine, a monopolistic giant threatened by a global community of volunteer programmers -- distributing free software. If I saw this in a Hollywood movie, I`d think it was hokey, just another smile-faced "bad guys beaten by sheer goodness" plot.


But it`s happening in the real world (news - Y! TV). Part of this is Microsoft`s doing. By continuing to play the corporate big dog -- as with its recent increase in enterprise licensing -- Microsoft creates an opening for the open source movement to grow into a powerful marketplace force.


Beating Free


The Linux advantage, of course, is that it`s free. Even Microsoft can`t beat free. The companies that make money from Linux, like Ximian, Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - news) and SuSe, generate income only by adding special features and providing support. And IBM (NYSE: IBM - news) also has lent its considerable weight to Linux, giving it credibility that a small fry like Ximian can`t.






So far, Linux has made serious inroads only in the server market. In this small yet lucrative share of the overall computing sector, Linux holds an approximately 15 to 20 percent market share.

This is a smaller portion than Microsoft`s share, but it is likely that Linux will overtake Microsoft in the server OS market in the foreseeable future.

Geeks at Home

But what really makes me smile is the $199 Lindows PC for sale at Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT - news) (monitor not included). Now that Linux runs a family PC, it`s not just for geeks anymore.

Microsoft, of course, went to court to stop Lindows from entering the marketplace, claiming trademark infringement. But upstart Lindows has, so far, survived legal challenges (and even effectively raised the issue of whether the term "windows" warrants trademark protection).

Lindows could use its open source pricing advantage (translated: its cheapness) to accomplish big things. With a PC whose price tag is less than that of Microsoft Office, this little box has revolutionary potential.

And as consumers get used to these machines -- and they will -- they`ll expect this kind of pricing. That will put Microsoft in a tough spot (it will also put pressure on PC makers, but that`s another story).

What will happen to Microsoft`s market dominance when consumers realize they have dramatically lower-cost options? What`s going to happen when these consumers, who are also workers and business owners, bring this knowledge to the lucrative business market? The next few years should be interesting.

Why Red Hat Owns Linux

Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier, www.NewsFactor.com
When most people think of Linux (news - web sites), the first name that comes to mind is Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - news). In fact, every so often, someone will state that Red Hat is "the Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) of Linux."
It is true that Red Hat is the clear market leader for Linux distributions, but it established its market position without patent lawsuits, predatory tactics or proprietary technology. How did the company do it, and can it keep its advantage?
Red Hat vice president Mark de Visser told NewsFactor that although the company was not the first to market with a Linux distribution, it became dominant because it made its products open and available. "Our distributions are available for download in binary form," he said. "Many companies didn`t do that." Instead, many vendors required users to download and compile raw Linux source code.
Of course, the company`s success also was driven by the fact that users could obtain those Red Hat Linux binaries for free. According to de Visser, Red Hat has no plans to change that.
"Red Hat is the biggest bandwidth user on the East Coast," he said. "If we wanted to make a killing in the retail market, we could, but that`s not the intent. The intent is to get it into the hands of the most people."
How Big Is Big?
It is nearly impossible to determine how many people use Red Hat, in part because of the company`s policy of allowing free downloads and in part because anyone can copy Red Hat`s software for free. Therefore, the size of the company`s lead can be hard to gauge.
The general consensus, according to Giga Information Group analyst Stacey Quandt, is that Red Hat`s market share is at least 50 percent. "Among enterprise customers, in North America in particular, the dominant distribution tends to be Red Hat," Quandt told NewsFactor.
Red Hat`s advantage stems largely from its partnerships with independent software vendors (ISVs) and Linux talent, Quandt added. "They employ some key [Linux] kernel developers: Alan Cox, Stephen Tweedy."
Where Red Hat Is Going
Relationships with ISVs will remain very important in Red Hat`s future. The company is primarily focused on the enterprise market, especially on companies that want to switch from proprietary versions of Unix (news - web sites), such as Sun`s Solaris.
"The migration is very simple. People will be able to use the same toolsets," de Visser said. "Migration to Linux is simpler and lower cost than [migration] to Windows. In that sense, it`s a significant technical advantage Linux has over Windows."
Beset by Competition
But even as Red Hat strives to win market share from proprietary Unix, other Linux companies are trying to carve out a slice of the same pie. Linux distributor SuSE, for example, is gaining market share at a fairly rapid pace. According to Holger Dyroff, head of SuSE`s U.S. operations, SuSE has gone from being a negligible presence in the United States to holding more than 25 percent of the market.
As Dyroff told NewsFactor, "We have a market lead in Europe and huge momentum in the U.S. Our primary competition is Microsoft Windows, Sun Solaris and other commercial Unix. Our customers are either putting new workloads on Linux or changing from Solaris or Windows."
Quandt agreed that SuSE poses a threat to Red Hat. "Overall, SuSE has tremendous engineering talent [and] a good partnership with SAP (NYSE: SAP - news). Red Hat`s biggest competitor is either SuSE or Sun."
Where Do You Want To Go Today?
In a tough competitive marketplace, how does Red Hat plan to maintain its lead?
Part of the plan, figuratively speaking, is to stick with the date that brought the company to the party. "We are fully committed to the Open Source notion," de Visser said. "Even if we provide higher-value software, we still deliver that as fully Open Source software. Our customers are always in a position of choice."

IBM baut Dienstleistungssparte nach PwC-Consulting-Übernahme um

STUTTGART (dpa-AFX) - Der Computerkonzern IBM richtet nach der Übernahme der Beratungssparte von Price WaterhouseCoopers (PwC) sein Service-Geschäft in Deutschland neu aus. Die bisherige IBM Unternehmensberatung GmbH (Hamburg) mit 340 Management-Beratern wird zum 1. Januar 2003 in das neue globale Geschäftsfeld Business Consulting Services integriert. Das teilte IBM am Freitag in Stuttgart mit.

Die neue Sparte ist nach Angaben von IBM die größte Unternehmensberatung der Welt und deckt unter anderem Dienstleistungen für Strategie, Prozesse, Informationstechnologien, E-Business und Outsourcing ab. Sie besteht aus je 30.000 Mitarbeitern der International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) und PwC Consulting. Verantwortlich für Deutschland, Österreich, die Schweiz und Teile Osteuropas ist Peter Spix, ein früherer Geschäftsführer von PwC Consulting.

Ein Stellenabbau ist nach den bisherigen Angaben nicht geplant. IBM hatte den Konkurrenten für 3,5 Milliarden Dollar (3,5 Mrd Euro) übernommen./mi/DP/bi

Opinion: Is UnitedLinux a Good Idea?
Wed Nov 27, 1:36 PM ET Add Business - NewsFactor to My Yahoo!


Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier, www.osOpinion.com

Right now, Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - news) is the de facto standard among Linux (news - web sites) distributions. Sure, if you implement a solution from the ground up or administer a single server, you can choose any distro you like. But if you want to run Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL - news) or most other commercial software, it`s much easier to go with Red Hat.



• Why Red Hat Owns Linux
• Red Hat Rival UnitedLinux To Debut at Comdex
• Red Hat`s Switch Campaign



A few trailing Linux companies recently banded together to create a competing distribution called UnitedLinux. SuSE, TurboLinux, Conectiva and The SCO Group hope their effort will boost their respective market shares by providing a single development target. Will they succeed? And can UnitedLinux achieve acceptance in areas where Linux has not yet been adopted, rather than cannibalizing the existing Linux market?


Great Concept, How About in Practice?


The idea behind UnitedLinux sounds good in theory. One of the biggest fears companies have had about adopting Linux is that there is no one true source for the OS. Some apps developed on one distribution have problems when a user tries to run them on another, particularly when the user only has access to binaries. Having a consortium of Linux distributors produce a single base distribution sounds like an excellent remedy to that situation.


However, if history is any guide, it is easy to be pessimistic about the long-term potential of this kind of arrangement. I`m not saying it`s impossible, or that these vendors shouldn`t try. Linux has succeeded before where others have failed, and it might do so again. Unfortunately, the main ingredients in the success of Linux and open source are missing from the UnitedLinux recipe.


What`s Bad About UnitedLinux?


What are the ingredients I`m talking about? They include an open development model, a sense of community, and support for noncommercial entities. The information contained on the UnitedLinux Web site is sparse, to say the least. The FAQ says the UnitedLinux "initiative is open for additional Linux companies to participate." Note that it specifies companies and does not provide information about requirements for a company to join the UnitedLinux initiative.


Perhaps the Debian folks would like to put out a version of UnitedLinux that would support the Debian Packaging format. Can they do this for free? Will the companies behind UnitedLinux welcome or shun nonprofit companies doing development on Linux? How about giving individuals access to the code? From what I can tell, there`s no central repository for the code being used to develop UnitedLinux.


If they don`t recognize the folks who made most of the software in the first place, I`d say they`re quite likely to fail -- and deserve to do so. Linux development shouldn`t be taking place behind closed doors. Red Hat has become massively successful by doing its development in the open. Where`s the developer program for UnitedLinux?

Linux könnte Softwareriesen Microsoft ausbremsen

Das künftige Wachstum des Softwareriesen Microsoft würde nach den Worten von Microsoft-Finanzchef John Connors beeinträchtigt, wenn das konkurrierende Betriebssystem Linux bei Büro-Computern stärker vordringen würde. Für die Spielekonsole Xbox erwägt der Konzern zudem weitere Investitionen bis zu einem Erfolg des Gerätes.

Reuters SCOTTSDALE. Bei einer Konferenz in Scottsdale (Arizona) sagte Connors am Mittwoch: „Bezogen auf das Wachstum des Unternehmens ... wäre es schwierig, wenn Linux zu einen Phänomen bei Büro-Computern würde“. Zugleich bekräftigte er die Prognose seines Unternehmens. Danach erwartet Microsoft ein anhaltend moderates Wachstum im PC-Bereich. Im laufenden Jahr werde die Expansionsrate im niedrigen einstelligen Bereich liegen.

Im Gegensatz zur urheberrechtlich geschützten Microsoft-Software, wie bei den Betriebssystemen Windows oder den Office-Anwendungsprogrammen kann die Linux-Software kostenlos kopiert und frei modifiziert werden.

Bisher dominiert Microsoft den Markt für Büro-Computer mit seinem Betriebssystem Windows, das weltweit in fast allen Personal-Computern installiert ist.
Dagegen liefern sich Linux und Microsoft bei Servern mittlerweile ein Kopf- an Kopf-Rennen.

Für die Xbox könne Connors sich weitere Anstrengungen vorstellen. „Die Rückzugsposition ist, dass wir wahrscheinlich verdoppeln und sie erfolgreich machen“, sagte Connors auf die Frage, ob es eine Ausstiegsstrategie bei dem Spielkonsolenbereich gebe. Im nachbörslichen Instinet-Handel legten Microsoft-Aktien auf 56,68 Dollar zu nach einem Schlusskurs von 56,54 Dollar an der Nasdaq.

Red Hat stellt Distribution für Workstations vor

Der Linux-Distributor Red Hat hat heute in Boston die Entwicklung eines neuen Betriebssystems für Enterprise Workstation bekannt gegeben. Die neue Workstation-Version wird mit dem Red Hat Linux Advanced Server kompatibel sein, damit die Kunden komplette Client/Server-Unternehmensnetze aufbauen können. Red Hat will im ersten Quartal 2003 mit der Auslieferung ihrer neuen Workstation-Version beginnen. - Anzeige -
Der Oracle9i Application Server ist die Nummer 1 auf Linux.
Möchten Sie sich selbst überzeugen? Laut dem LINUX DEVELOPER SURVEY von Evans Data, März 2002 ist Oracle9i AS die erste Wahl von Ent-wicklern auf Linux. Darüberhinaus be-stätigen ECperf Benchmark Ergebnisse, dass der Oracle9i AS der Führer im Preis/Performance Verhältnis auf Linux ist; und damit besser als BEA und IBM.
Überzeugen Sie sich selbst und klicken Sie hier für KOSTENFREIE Informationen zu ECperf des Oracle9i AS.
Zugleich hat Red Hat heute auf der Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo Pläne für ein Linux der Carrier-Klasse bekannt gegeben. Auf Basis des Red Hat Linux Advanced Servers sollen die Applikationen der Netzwerkbetreiber unterstützt werden.
Zu den neuen Leistungsmerkmalen des Advanced Servers werden eine verbesserte Anwendungsportierbarkeit, die Unterstützung von POSIX-konformem Threading, Diskless Blade-Systeme, verbesserte Debugging-Funktionen und Systemanalyse sowie zusätzliche Möglichkeiten des Hochverfügbarkeits-Clusterings gehören. Der Advanced Server wird auf Intel-basierten Servern und Plattformen einschließlich der von IBM und HP angebotenen Varianten laufen. Red Hat beabsichtigt, die Linux-Version der Carrier-Klasse Mitte 2003 auf den Markt zu bringen. (as)

@Thommy2k

kannst du mir mal verraten werum Robert F.Young, seine Frau und der Young Trust seit Ende August fast täglich eine für seine Verhältnisse verschwindende Menge an Aktien verkaufen?
Er hat ja noch mit seiner Frau zusammen nach 9.514.613 Stück. Damit kann man noch eine Zeitlang leben.

Hätte nichts dagegen die verschwindende Menge in mein Depot gebucht zu bekommen

Sun: Sony entscheidet sich für Star Office
Von Kai Beller, Hamburg

Der Elektronikkonzern Sony wird seine Computer in sieben europäischen Länder künftig mit der Bürosoftware Star Office von Sun Microsystems ausliefern. Aus Kostengründen schauen sich PC-Hersteller zunehmend nach preisgünstigen Alternativen zu den marktbeherrschenden Microsoft-Programmen um.

Sony wird die meisten seiner Rechner für Heimanwender in Großbritannien, Frankreich, Spanien, Italien, Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz mit Star Office 6.0 bestücken, teilte Sun Microsystems am Freitag mit. Sony sei der jüngste von insgesamt 20 Partnern weltweit. "Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass wir unsere Partnerschaft mit Sony zukünftig auch auf weitere Märkte ausdehnen werden", sagte Sun-Produktmanagerin Nancy Lee.

Das südkoreanische Unternehmens Hyundai vertreibe bereits erfolgreich Endkunden-PCs mit Star Office in Neuseeland und Australien. Doch noch ist die Bürosoftware ein Nischenprodukt mit einem weltweiten Marktanteil von etwa drei Prozent. Auf Rechner mit dem freien Betriebssystem Linux gehört Star Office dagegen zu den Standardanwendungen. Allerdings spielt Linux bei Heimanwendern und auf Arbeitsplatzrechnern eine untergeordnete Rolle.

Word Perfect versucht Comeback

Angesichts der Absatzflaute sind viele PC-Hersteller jedoch zum Sparen gezwungen und eher bereit, auf billigere Produkte der Microsoft–Konkurrenten auszuweichen. So versucht der kanadische Softwarehersteller Corel ein Comeback seiner Bürosoftware mit dem Schreibprogramm Word Perfect, das früher der ärgste Konkurrent für Microsoft Office war. Hewlett-Packard und Sony liefern in den USA Rechner mit vorinstalliertem Word Perfect aus.
Doch Corel dürfte Probleme haben seine Programme in Europa zu verkaufen, weil es von Word Perfect nur eine englische Version gibt. Dieses Problem gibt es bei Star Office nicht. Die Kompatibilität mit den Microsoft-Programmen ist sowohl bei Star Office als auch Word Perfect gewährleistet.
Star Office wurde von dem Lüneburger Unternehmer Marco Börries entwickelt. 1999 verkaufte Börries seine Softwarefirma an Sun Microsystems. Anfang 2001 schied der Unternehmer als Vizepräsident des kalifornischen Konzerns wieder aus.

Aus der FTD vom 9.12.2002 www.ftd.de/ibm
IBM kauft Softwarefirma Rational
Von Helene Laube, San Francisco
IBM baut mit einer Akquisition seine Softwaresparte weiter aus. Der Kauf der Softwarefirma Rational richtet sich vor allem gegen Microsoft.
Der weltgrößte Technologiekonzern übernimmt für 2,1 Mrd. $ Bargeld das kalifornische Unternehmen Rational Software. Rational ist einer der größten Hersteller von Programmen für Softwareentwickler. Der seit März amtierende IBM-Chef Sam Palmisano treibt mit dem Kauf von Rational den Ausbau des Software- und Dienstleistungsgeschäfts voran, den sein Vorgänger Lou Gerstner vor Jahren angestoßen hatte, um die Abhängigkeit vom margenschwachen Hardwaregeschäft zu vermindern. "Das Softwaregeschäft generiert jede Menge Bargeld. Rational und unsere Softwaresparte haben eine ähnlich hohe Bruttomarge von 85 Prozent", sagte Steve Mills, Chef der IBM Software Group.
Mit dem Kauf rüstet sich IBM vor allem gegen Microsoft. Tausende externe Microsoft-Programmierer entwickeln Anwendungen für das marktbeherrschende Betriebssystem Windows von Microsoft. Analysten werten den IBM-Kauf als weiteren Versuch von IBM, Microsoft unabhängige Softwareingenieure abspenstig zu machen, die sich zunehmend auf die Entwicklung von Programmen für die Microsoft-Internetplattform "Dotnet" konzentrieren.
Seit Januar hat IBM den Kauf von sieben Softwarefirmen angekündigt oder abgeschlossen. Anfang Oktober schloss der Technologiegigant zudem die 3,5 Mrd. $ teure Übernahme des Beratungsunternehmens PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting ab. Rational ist IBMs teuerster Softwarekauf, seit 1985 das Unternehmen Lotus für 3,5 Mrd. $ übernommen wurde.
Rational, das Konzerne wie Siemens und British Telecom zu seinen Kunden zählt, machte im vergangenen Geschäftsjahr mit 3400 Mitarbeitern einen Umsatz von 689 Mio. $. Vorstandschef und Mitgründer Mike Devlin wird den neuen Rational-Bereich bei IBM leiten. Rational soll als eigenständige Marke unter das Dach der IBM Software Group kommen.
Die Rational-Programme, mit denen Softwareprojekte entwickelt, getestet und verwaltet werden, sollen eng mit dem IBM-Produkt Websphere integriert werden. Websphere ist IBMs Konkurrenzangebot zu Dotnet von Microsoft.

hohoho hier spricht der weihnachtsmann :


Will Linux Superdesktops Storm the Mainstream?

Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier, www.NewsFactor.com

Most well-known Linux distributions, including Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - news), SuSE and Mandrake, are renewing their focus on the desktop. And a few newer distributions, such as Lindows and Xandros, focus exclusively on the desktop experience.

Besides the operating system vendors, two other companies at the forefront of the Linux desktop effort are Ximian and The Kompany. They provide much-needed applications that could enable Linux to gain desktop market share.

Making Open Source Easy

Ximian provides a customized GNOME desktop for several Linux distributions, along with a few of its own applications. Ximian vice president Jon Perr told NewsFactor that the company wants to remain distribution-agnostic.

The company`s primary goal is to put Linux on corporate customers` desktops. According to Perr, "Linux on the desktop, as we see it, is very much a corporate enterprise market. We`re not focused on the consumer audience."

Perr added that Ximian`s strategy is to provide companies with "collaboration and interoperability solutions, [such as] Evolution [and] Red Carpet Enterprise Management.... We help companies enable desktop users."

Applications Are Key

Meanwhile, Shawn Gordon, president of The Kompany, told NewsFactor that "the viability of Linux on the desktop is going to be entirely dependent on the applications." Unlike Ximian, The Kompany does not provide a complete desktop solution. Instead, it provides applications that Linux lacks. The Kompany`s applications are based on Trolltech`s Qt toolkit, and many of them can run on Linux, Windows or Mac OS.


Perr is confident that Linux now has the applications it needs to be successful. "Compare now to 12 months ago," he said. "A lot of the core productivity applications are available today, and they`re robust. The Linux desktop has crossed the threshold."

Perception Problems

Of course, just because applications are ready does not mean that executives, particularly CIOs and CTOs, are aware of their existence. "The CIO`s perception of progress on the desktop is lagging reality," Perr said, pointing out that IT workers in the trenches have a better view of Linux. "In a lot of cases, at a lower level, there was a higher awareness of these [desktop] applications."

Gordon said part of the blame for erroneous perceptions of Linux lies with analysts. "A lot of `the desktop is dead` was Gartner et al," he noted. "I have yet to work with any of these types of groups and hear them say anything of value. They tend to create the future rather than predict it."

Perceptions aside, though, Perr admitted there are still a few areas in which Linux is not yet a good solution. "One area for future improvement [is] the macro compatibility, support and translation," he said. Therefore, users who rely heavily on such tools as Excel and Word templates and macros are likely to remain stranded on Windows for the time being.

Thanks to Microsoft

Clearly, however, Linux desktops are making progress, and that would not be happening if people were not looking for a change. Perr said Linux has gotten a boost from an unexpected source. "Microsoft has been a tremendous help to the Linux desktop," he told NewsFactor. Specifically, Perr said, the software giant`s new licensing policy has been a big factor driving companies to consider Linux. "People are extremely upset," he noted.

Gordon agreed with that assessment. "I`ve been saying since we [were] founded that we were one major Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) upgrade away from a major paradigm shift."

What does the future hold for Linux? No one knows for sure, but Gordon has an optimistic outlook. "A guy once said to me, `By 2010, a standard essay subject in MBA courses will be "The Collapse of Microsoft."` I`d like to think he was right."

IBM
Bye, bye, OS/2!
Vorbei, die Herrlichkeit:
IBM gibt sein Betriebssystem OS/2 endgültig auf.
Dem einstigen Hoffnungsträger war es nie gelungen, sich gegen Windows NT durchzusetzen.
IBM hat angekündigt, den Verkauf des Betriebssystems OS/2 zum 12. März 2003 einzustellen. Der Software-Support soll danach nur noch bis zum Jahresende 2004 aufrecht erhalten. Über IBM-Partner wird die Software aber wohl noch einige Zeit länger verfügbar sein. Das Betriebssystem OS/2 kam 1992 erstmals auf den Markt. Obwohl ursprünglich als Betriebssystem sowohl für den privaten Desktop, als auch für Unternehmen angedacht, zeichnete sich schnell ab, dass sich das Produkt nicht gegen die Konkurrenzprodukte von Microsoft würde durchsetzen können. Selbst im Business-Bereich blieb Windows NT dominant: Populär wurde OS/2 nur in spezialisierten Teilmärkten, vor allem im Großkundenbereich. Dazu gehört unter anderem die Banken- und Versicherungsbranche, in der IBM als Gesamtanbieter mit Hard- und Softwarelösungen auftritt: Hier kam OS/2 quasi huckepack zum Erfolg. Seit einigen Jahren konzentriert sich IBM zunehmend auf Linux. Im Jahr 2001 investierte Big Blue rund eine Milliarde Dollar in die Entwicklung von Linux-Produkten. Hier äußert sich IBM zufrieden mit der geschäftlichen Entwicklung.

[DonauPirat]

War früher ein OS/2 user. Mir hat das Betriebssystem gefallen. Schade dass es nicht weiterentwickelt und unterstützt wurde.

Red Hat schreibt erstmals richtig schwarze Zahlen
18.12.2002 um 10:16 Uhr

MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Der amerikanische Linux-Distributor Red Hat hat gestern Zahlen zum Ende November abgeschlossenen dritten Quartal seines laufenden Geschäftsjahres veröffentlicht. Das in Raleigh im Bundesstaat North Carolina ansässige Unternehmen weist in seiner Bilanz einen Nettogewinn von 305.000 Dollar oder break-even pro Aktie aus - die ersten schwarzen Zahlen nach GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Im Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahres meldete Red Hat einen Nettofehlbetrag von 15,1 Millionen Dollar oder neun Cent je Anteilschein, darin enthalten eine Abschreibung von rund 3 Millionen Dollar für ein inzwischen eingestelltes Geschäftsfeld.
Den Quartalsumsatz steigerte Red Hat von 20,1 Millionen Dollar im Berichtszeitraum des Vorjahres um 21 Prozent auf aktuell 24,3 Millionen Software. Besonders gut verkaufte sich trotz anhaltender Investitionszurückhaltung der auf Unternehmenskunden zielende "Advanced Server". Alles in allem bilanzierte CEO Matthew Szulik das abgeschlossene Vierteljahr als "Durchbruchsquartal". Für den laufenden Dreimonatszeitraum erwartet Red Hat ein sequentielles Umsatzwachstum auf 26,5 bis 27,5 Millionen Dollar, getrieben vor allem von Enterprise-Produkten und dem Servicegeschäft. Unter dem Strich soll ein Nettogewinn zwischen 1,3 und 2,5 Millionen Dollar oder einem Cent pro Aktie herauskommen. "Der Markt steckt noch immer in den Kinderschuhen", erklärte Szulik. "Und wir haben unser Geschäft konservativ gemanagt."

Big Deal für "Big Blue"
5 Mrd. für IBM

IBM ("Big Blue") wird die Rechenzentren von J.P.Morgan übernehmen. Nach Angaben der US-Bank hat der Vertrag eine Laufzeit von zunächst sieben Jahren und ein Volumen von fünf Milliarden US-Dollar. Damit ist er der größte Vertrag seiner Art in der Finanzbranche. Für IBM ist es der zweite Vertrag mit einem Finanzdienstleister.

Wie J.P.Morgan weiter mitteilte, sieht die Vereinbarung vor, dass IBM neben den Rechenzentren der Bankengruppe auch 4.000 Mitarbeiter sowie Sprach- und Datennetze übernehmen wird. Für IBM ist es den Angaben zufolge der umfangreichste Dienstleistungsvertrag im IT-Bereich. Im Kampf um Kunden in diesem Geschäftsfeld hat IBM nach Einschätzung von Experten damit einen entscheidenden Vorsprung gegenüber der Konkurrenz erreicht.

J.P.Morgan teilte mit, die Vereinbarung führe zu Kosteneinsparungen und schnelleren Innovationen, weil sich die Bankengruppe durch den Vertrag die Forschungsarbeit von IBM zunutze machen könne. Die New Yorker J.P.Morgan ist der zweite Finanzdienstleister, der mit IBM einen IT-Vertrag abgeschlossen hat. Vor knapp zwei Wochen war sich IBM bereits mit der Deutschen Bank handelseinig geworden.

IBM ist der größte Computerproduzent der Welt. Aktuell generiert der Konzern einen Großteil seiner Umsätze aus dem Dienstleitungs- und Servicegeschäft

Reuters
PluggedIn: Linux gears up to challenge Windows on desktop

Tuesday January 7, 12:11 pm ET
By Reed Stevenson

SEATTLE, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Bought the latest whiz-bang personal computer, but don`t know what to do with your older, fully functional PC?
One option would be to try breathing new life into it with Linux, the software standard that is presenting itself as an alternative to Microsoft Corp.`s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) Windows operating system.

With better stability, security and pricing in a desktop operating system with a look-and-feel similar to Windows, Linux advocates say they are getting ready to take on Microsoft, which dominates the desktop market.

Since Linux is free to be copied and modified, unlike proprietary software from Microsoft, it is cheaper to obtain.

For less than $100, most versions of Linux offer a package of software that lets users send and receive e-mail, surf the Web, write documents and use spreadsheets. Microsoft`s Windows and its Office productivity program can together cost several hundreds of dollars.

The cost of obtaining Linux software from a variety of distributors, such as Red Hat Inc. (NasdaqNM:RHAT - News), SuSE, Xandros and Mandrake, mainly goes toward service agreements that provide regular updates to the software, manuals and customer support, as well as the software on a CD in a nicely packaged box.

Once confined to the desktops of technically savvy users, Linux is becoming easier to install, operate and maintain for the average user.

Xandros Desktop, one version of Linux, requires only five clicks or less to get the operating system up and running.

Red Hat, the most visible Linux distributor, offers a package of programs that includes instant messaging, programs for managing digital photos, sounds and video, as well as plenty of games.

Many personal files, documents and pictures used with a Windows system can be transferred and used on a Linux system. Some Windows-based software programs, such as older version of Microsoft Office or its rival, Lotus Notes, can even be installed to run on top of a Linux system.

For those who don`t want to take the plunge and switch to a Linux-only system, using an older PC is a good way to test the waters, said Xandros co-chairman Frederick Berenstein.

"Everything just works," Berenstein said.

For those who want to start using Linux on their current PC without sacrificing their Windows programs, nearly all of the major Linux versions offer something ingloriously called a boot manager, which lets users choose between Windows and Linux.

Because Linux can be modified so easily, each Linux distributor creates its own version of Linux with different features and designs. Since Linux software developers can can all copy from each other in their quest to create a better product, Linux advocates argue that innovation is an inherent part of the Linux operating system.

"Linux will create a renewed climate of competition and innovation for desktop applications," said Mark de Visser, vice president of marketing at Red Hat.

"Today most of the applications for Windows are Microsoft applications - there just is no level playing field," he said, referring to the advantage Microsoft has over other application developers since it also makes the basic software platform.

Developed just over a decade ago by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds, Linux was created as an open-source alternative to proprietary Unix-based operating systems, which lets users see, modify and copy software source code -- the underlying blueprints for programs.

Graphical and icon-based versions of Linux have come a long way from the unfriendly command-line based operating systems that only geeks know how to use. These harken back to the pre-Windows era when Microsoft`s MS-DOS was standard on PCs.

Figures are hard to come by, but most experts agree that Microsoft software runs on well above 90 percent of PCs, with Linux making up a minuscule number of the total. Yet Linux already has a 15 to 20 percent share of the market for servers, which manage computer networks.

Now, Linux developers have created a variety of graphics-based desktops that offer a dizzying array of options for users who never want to see a command line.

Users can customize their desktop, screensavers, fonts and devices connected to their PCs by navigating through menus.

Tapping into Linux distribution Web sites allows users to access an ever-growing collection of applications -- for free.

Some versions of Linux can switch between languages nearly instantly, while Microsoft creates different versions of its operating system for different languages.

And for those who want to stick with a Windows-style system, the Xandros desktop is deliberately designed to look like Windows, with a similar file system and a task bar that sports a button that pulls up a menu like the "Start" button.

"What we offer is ease of installation and familiarity," Berenstein said.

The standard edition of Mandrake Linux, a popular Linux platform, costs $33 while a beefed up version with more than 2,000 applications costs $70.

The latest personal edition of Red Hat Linux costs $30, and the personal edition from longtime Linux developer SuSE costs $27. Xandros is available for $99.

"It is early to call this a threat to Microsoft and Windows, as the percentages (of users) are still low. But the numbers are growing, and at some point users will be able to buy computers with preloaded Linux, printers and other devices that come with Linux drivers, and desktop applications that come in both Windows and Linux versions," said Red Hat`s de Visser, "Once that happens, the threat to Microsoft Windows will become very real."

[Thommy2k]

The Mandrake Linux Mystery

Almost anyone familiar with the high-tech industry -- except perhaps Bill Gates (news - web sites) and Steve Ballmer -- will tell you that 2003 could be a big year for Linux (news - web sites). The OS is poised to continue spreading like wildfire in the server market next year, and some pundits are even saying it may overtake Apple`s (Nasdaq: AAPL - news) OS X as the number two desktop operating system.

• Research Firm: Microsoft Will Use Linux by 2004

But where do individual distributions fit into such a rosy scenario? Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - news) is still the front-runner in North America, with SuSE Linux following close behind. Is there room for an up-and-coming distribution like Mandrake, which has won glowing reviews from users, to squeeze into the enterprise market?


About Mandrake Linux


Mandrake Linux, published by MandrakeSoft, was first released in 1998 as a Red Hat clone that included KDE (the K Desktop Environment, a graphical user interface) and code optimizations for computers with Pentium or higher processors. Both the company and the Mandrake Linux distribution have grown considerably since that time.

The company dropped its goal of achieving full compatibility with Red Hat a while ago, and is now aiming for Linux Standard Base (LSB) compatibility instead. Gaël Duval, founder of the Mandrake Linux distribution, told NewsFactor, "We pursue LSB compatibility. Linux Standard Base is now the goal of all major Linux distributors to ensure that [in the future], Linux applications will run on any brand of Linux."

Mandrake primarily is viewed as a desktop-oriented Linux distribution, rather than an enterprise-level solution, but Duval said there is more to the system than meets the eye. "Mandrake Linux also offers high-end server-oriented features, such as a selection of file systems, including journalized and encrypted [options]," he noted.

Duval agreed that Mandrake`s security settings, which can control file permissions at a finely detailed level depending on the security needs of each individual system, are important. "Mandrake Linux follows the traditional Unix (news - web sites) way of doing things," he said. Duval emphasized that the Mandrake distribution would never sacrifice security to "make things a bit easier for the user. Much of Linux` popularity is based on stability and security, and there`s no reason to jeopardize a system for such a small benefit."

So, if Mandrake is so good, how can it get a leg up in the market? According to DiDio, it comes down to advertising. "They have a track record; it`s now a five-year-old company," she said. "What they`re going to have to do is raise their visibility quotient.

"This is going to be similar to the price wars we see with phone companies," DiDio added. "They`re going to have to do their best to distinguish themselves." Unseating Red Hat likely will be particularly difficult, she said, "because they have the name and the market share. [Red Hat] doesn`t have to be the best ... it has to be `good enough.`"

Overall, DiDio said she thinks 2003 will be a good year for all Linux distributions. "Since Linux is going to continue on a very steep growth ramp, there`s room for everybody, but [Mandrake has] got to get its name out there."

One problem may be that unlike Red Hat and SuSE, Mandrake is not particularly well funded. The company has put out several pleas for funds to its user base in the past year. Duval told NewsFactor that the company is doing good business, but "at the same time we are experiencing short-term cash problems that we hope to resolve within the next few months. Fortunately, the negative consequences are rather limited because our R&D team has been preserved."

A lack of cash reserves will make it difficult for Mandrake to position its product against Red Hat and SuSE in the eyes of potential enterprise users. However, Duval said, Mandrake is adding users nonetheless, "due to our excellent reputation for ease of use, while also offering everything needed for power users. Our numbers are [still] relatively small compared to the other two major Linux distributors because we are younger, and because we`ve followed a different strategy."

Over time, however, Duval expects that will change. "Our approach to the market has always been to first develop a large user base, then leverage those users to generate revenue. Only recently have we begun to generate solid business revenue -- mostly in Europe and North America -- with large contracts and OEM deals."

MICROSOFT MACHT FENSTER AUF

Notwehr gegen Linux

Immer mehr Regierungen und Behörden wechseln zu Linux, weil das Open-Source-System als sicherer und Windows als undurchschaubar gilt. Letzteres will Microsoft schon mal ändern: Der Konzern bietet Regierungen Einsicht in den Quellcode an.

Bill Gates (links) mit seinem größten Konkurrenten: Linux hält in immer mehr Behörden Einzug

Niemand weiß besser als Microsoft, dass die Menschen am heimischen PC am liebsten die Programme benutzen, mit denen sie auch am Arbeitsplatz umgehen. Wenn dann noch im Großkundenbereich der Regierungen und Behörden die Marktanteile zu bröckeln beginnen, lässt das eigentlich nur einen Schluss zu: Hier gibt`s was zu tun, packen wir`s an!
Genau das wollte Microsoft aber lange nicht, denn was zu tun ist, ist ebenfalls klar: Die IT-Sicherheitsexperten vieler Regierungen geben sich mit Windows nur dann noch zufrieden, wenn sie reinschauen dürfen. In dieser Beziehung jedoch ist Microsoft wirklich schüchtern. Der mehre Millionen Zeilen lange Sourcecode des Betriebssystems wird gehütet wie der heilige Gral.

Seit knapp eineinhalb Jahren zeichnet sich ab, dass der Softwarekonzern mit Mauern nicht weiterkommen wird. Im Frühjahr 2002 begann er, Regierungen, mit denen er in Verhandlungen stand, das Angebot zu machen, "Einblick" in den Sourcecode zunehmen.

Eine Mogelpackung, monierten die IT-Leute der Behörden auch in Deutschland und Österreich: Millionen Zeilen Code prüft man nicht mal eben in drei Wochen - genau das hatte Microsoft angeboten.

Der Deutsche Bundestag entschied sich im Juni letzten Jahres für einen Kompromiss, der Microsoft nicht völlig vergrätzte, zumindest aber das Sicherheitsproblem milderte: Sensible Infrastrukturen linuxen künftig, ordinäre Bürorechner dürfen weiter unter Windows "worden". In der Praxis aber sieht es so aus, das die Umstellung von immer mehr Verwaltungseinrichtungen auf Linux längst begonnen hat - eine Entwicklung, die beispielsweise beim amerikanischen Militär bereits zwei Jahre früher eingesetzt hatte.

Dass ihnen also mehr und mehr teure Felle wegschwammen, sah man offenbar auch bei Microsoft nun ein. Ab sofort wird Regierungen, Behörden und anderen wirklich großen Kunden mit Sicherheitsbedenken Einblick "in den größten Teil" des Sourcecodes gewährt. Mehr als das: Den Kunden wird sogar erlaubt, den Code in Maßen ihren jeweiligen Sicherheitsanforderungen anzupassen.

Dazu Microsoft-Cheftechnologe Craig Mundie: "Wir haben ein Geschäftsinteresse daran, dass sich die Leute vollkommen sicher mit unserer Software fühlen".

Jetzt muss es Microsoft nur noch gelingen, die potenziellen Kunden auch davon zu überzeugen, dass sie auch sicher sind: Russland und die Nato wollen schon mal Einblick nehmen, mit "rund 60" Regierungen liefen Verhandlungen. Die gefühlte Sicherheit allein wird diesen potenziellen Großkunden wohl kaum reichen.

gut für RHAT und schlecht für Linux???

Linux maker MandrakeSoft seeks bankruptcy shelter
15 Jan 2003, 8:06pm ET

By Eric Auchard
NEW YORK, Jan 15 (Reuters) - MandrakeSoft (SBF:MAKE), one of more popular variations of the Linux operating system to follow in the footsteps of market leader Red Hat Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT), said on Wednesday it had filed for protection from its creditors.

"The liabilities accumulated by MandrakeSoft through a
series of quarterly losses have prompted the company to file for `declaration de cessation des paiements,`" the company,said in a statement on its Web site (http://www.mandrakesoft.com).

The French equivalent to what in the United States is known
as Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection marks the latest failure by the open source software movement, which sees itself an alternative to software giant Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), to develop profitable business models that can sustain such projects.

The filing took place on January 13, the company said. The
company said that bankruptcy protection will give it breathing room to continue its operations. It said that Version 9.1 of its Mandrake Soft distribution will be ready in April.

A spokesman was not immediately available to comment.

Mandrake and other versions of Linux are widely referred to
as "free" software, an often-misunderstood term that refers to the right of any user to copy and alter the basic software code. Finding a way to make users pay for these improvements has proved an elusive goal for "open source" proponents.

MandrakeSoft, a company founded in 1998 with the goal of
making the technically sophisticated Linux "easier to use for everyone," competes with Red Hat, SuSE, Xandros, and other distributors to create a Linux for mainstream computer users.

The company said it has established headquarters in France,
Canada and the United States.

Shares of MandrakeSoft were listed on the Euronext exchange
in Paris. They last traded on December 17 at 2.27 euros.

Fans and critics of MandrakeSoft traded barbs on Slashdot,
the software enthusiasts` online news site.

In response to several postings calling on Linux supporters
to donate money to support the Linux cause, one writer
complained that Mandrake and other Linux-focused companies
suffered from he dubbed the "Sally Struthers" syndrome.

The reference is to a 1970s comic television actress who in
recent years has been featured in late-night U.S. TV
advertisements pleading for money on behalf of poor, starving children.

Other postings were kinder: "The company dies, but the
software lives on. I expect that the vast majority of people who use Mandrake will have no problem moving their setup across to another distro. But imagine what would happen if a traditional, closed source company died," this writer said.

The financial setback for MandrakeSoft comes one week ahead
of LinuxWorld Expo (http://www.linuxworldexpo.com), a trade
show for Linux business users that will take place from January 21-24 in New York.

The conference features keynote speeches by executives from
International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE:AMD), Dell Computer (NASDAQELL), and Morgan Stanley, reflecting the growing corporate and industry support for Linux.

Open season: Red Hat strives to take on Windows
THE JAVED TAPIA INTERVIEW / NEERAJ SAXENA

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2003 05:31:54 PM ]
NEW DELHI: Red Hat, arguably the world`s largest provider of open source technologies, including Linux, is now striving to achieve what one never credited Linux proponents with: -- penetrating the desktops.

If that happens anytime in near future, it may well be the last bastion to fall for Microsoft whose domination in desktops is more absolute than it has ever been in the server space. The world we live and compute in is still an overwhelmingly Windows and Gates structure.

Apart from making a lot of noise about the open source movement – wherein the developers can read and make changes in the software coding of a programme – the Linux brigade is yet to announce any major incursion into Microsoft’s fortress in India.

But it is trying, and trying hard, in spite of doubts and questions about what Linux can, and cannot, do for the organisations and the small computer user in homes and small enterprises. In an exclusive chat with Neeraj Saxena, Red Hat India director Javed Tapia, sought to address some of the issues.

Excerpts:

Why have Linux companies not been able to make much headway as far as running critical operations like banking, insurance and financial services, or utilities is concerned? Such operations still depend heavily on Microsoft NT despite an enterprise manager`s so-called preference for Linux? What is Red Hat doing about this specifically?

We believe that Linux usage is gaining momentum in all segments. Some verticals have been early users, while in other segments usage is picking up now.

In the US, many Wall Street firms have migrated from Unix to Linux to experience substantial performance enhancements. In India, many banks have recently floated tenders for Linux-based servers and applications.

This segment is dominated by Unix, and not Microsoft. We are addressing this segment in multiple ways:

n By building technology appreciation in the end user segment.

n Getting independent software vendors to port their applications to Linux.

n By forming partnerships with companies that dominate this space like Oracle for databases and Veritas for storage.

Open source is considered less secure than a proprietary system which is why a lot of people want to avoid it.

The development model of open source lends itself to open source software being more secure.

Open source software is being developed by thousands of users all over the world and not by a bunch of people sitting in a closed environment. The security benefits of open source software stem directly from its openness. Known as the "many eyeballs" theory, it explains what we instinctively know to be true - that an operating system or application will be more secure when you can inspect the code, share it with experts and other members of your user community, identify potential problems and create fixes quickly. Without the source code, you remain dependent on your software vendor - and on their strategic and economic agendas - to correct any problems that occur.

When found, bugs and exploits are fixed quickly - the Ping `O Death was identified and a fix for Linux posted within hours. In comparison, the response took far longer for Windows operating systems because fewer programmers had access to the code and, therefore, fewer resources were focused on the task.

In an analysis of 1999 security advisories, SecurityPortal found that Red Hat, with 31 total advisories, took an average of 11.2 days after a bug was discovered to respond with a patch.

In contrast, Microsoft, with 61 advisories, took at average of 16.1 days to issue a patch, while Sun, with 8 advisories, took an average of 89.5 days from advisory to patch release.

How does having Linux in less critical areas like mail servers help in cost savings for enterprises who opt for Microsoft software for important functions? It only adds to complexity rather than provide flexibility? How can Linux companies then say that it lowers the total cost of ownership? Microsoft claims that TCO in case of Linux is much higher vis-à-vis their software since corporations end up spending extra on additional software, labour and consultancy when they choose Linux…

There is an independent study conducted pertaining to the TCO comparison between Linux and Microsoft. It pertains to Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) worldwide financial trading architecture having successfully migrated from Unix to Red Hat Linux.

But to answer your question, Linux usage did start out on mail servers and proxy servers, but is today getting mainstream to run enterprise resource planning applications, customer relationship management and mission-critical applications. Linux has become a mainstream operating system in all sizes of organisations, in all markets worldwide.

It has moved up the value-chain and crossed the chasm. It has become a potent environment for some business critical applications like database, clustering solutions, ERP, supply chain management and so on.

The reliability, stability and ease with which the software can be customised, installed and operated is quite appealing to organisations. The fact that many application development and deployment, middleware, serverware and application products are freely available on the platform helps as well.

What has held Linux back from becoming a household name in spite of the open source and `free` tag? Despite being around for so many years, why has Linux not taken off in the home user and small and medium enterprise desktop segments? Is it due to the fear of the new; or the mismatch with a range of other software from Microsoft and its partners who rule the roost on desktop? Or is it due to the complexity and the perception that Linux is less user-friendly than Windows?

Earlier, Linux was positioned as an enterprise operating system and less importance was given to the user interface and other desktop requirements. Now, with the launch of our version 8.0 `Bluecurve`, we have demonstrated all the user friendliness one expects from a desktop OS.

There are two basic reasons why Linux has not already made in roads into this space.

n The basic advantage of using Linux on the desktop is the affordability. In India, there is a high degree of un-licensed software. Therefore, having Linux is not perceived as a real benefit in this segment.
n The applications that one requires to run on a desktop were not available. Now, we see more momentum on the desktops in India than anywhere else in the world. The reasons for this are many.

n PC penetration is low in India and there are a lot of first time users. There is no additional investment required in training these people to Linux.

n Cost of hardware is coming down, but not software. In a price-sensitive market like ours, there is a crying need to have affordable software if we want to bridge the digital divide.

n Linux has never ever been more user-friendly than now and applications and support for devices on Linux has never been as easily available.

Linux companies themselves admit that it will probably never be able to overtake Windows, but largely eat into Unix, and at best, some share of Windows. Is it because robust business models built around Linux selling companies like yours are yet to evolve? Also, how much role does the lack of unity among Linux companies play in this regard?

Linux from a server perspective will be a dominant OS in the years ahead. I do not think overtaking is an issue here. I think it is more of Linux usage growing at an exponential rate over the next few years. Lack of unity has nothing to do with Linux adoption.

How has Red Hat react to the non-Red Hat joining hands under the United Linux umbrella?

The more stable our fellow Linux companies can be, the more confidence users will have in Linux as Red Hat will not be the only stable and profitable Linux company around. This will lead to a widening and deepening of the market rather than eating into our marketshare.

By when do you feel will Linux break into the desktop mainstream? How about training for independent Linux support among personal computer vendors so they have a viable option to load Linux with the new units sold?

Transition from Windows to Linux desktop is no more fastidious with the launch of Red Hat Linux 8.0, or `Bluecure’. It is intended to grab a greater share of the desktop market.

This version combines features of two different user interfaces to offer PC users a single, unified standard. Recently, Aberdeen Group research director Bill Claybrook has predicted that with Red Hat`s new unified interface, Linux could grab as much as 10 to 12 per cent of the desktop PC market in coming years. Once a PC vendor formalises to load Linux with new units, we help them get their field engineers trained, so as to enable them support their systems efficiently.

Aus der FTD vom 21.1.2003
Hoffnung der IT-Branche ruht auf Linux
Von Martin Virtel und Oliver Wihofszki, Hamburg

Hector Ruiz, der Chef des Chipherstellers AMD, wird ab Mittwoch die dreitägige Branchenmesse Linux World Expo in New York eröffnen - ein Anzeichen dafür, dass das als Freizeitprojekt gestartete Betriebssystem in diesem Jahr einen Meilenstein passiert.

Von einem interessanten Randphänomen ist Linux zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Geschäftsstrategie vieler Unternehmen der Technologiebranche geworden. Bei der für die zweite Jahreshälfte erwarteten Erholung der gesamten Branche könnte die Software eine entscheidende Rolle spielen.

"Linux als Betriebssystem für Hochleistungsrechner wird helfen, das Wachstum des Marktes anzutreiben", schreibt Jeffrey Hewitt, Analyst des Marktforschungsunternehmens Gartner, in seinen Vorhersagen für das Jahr 2003. Gartner glaubt, dass Linux 2003 das am schnellsten wachsende Betriebssystem für Hochleistungsrechner bleibt und den Marktanteil auf neun Prozent verdoppelt.


Die Investmentbank Goldman Sachs hat zu Jahresbeginn eine Studie mit dem Titel "Fürchtet den Pinguin" vorgelegt, eine Anspielung auf das Maskottchen des Betriebssystems. Der Erfolg von Linux wird nach Einschätzung der Bank "beträchtliche Veränderungen im Ökosystem der Lieferanten von Informationstechnologie" hervorrufen.



Linux könnte AMDs Sprungbrett in Unternehmen werden


Darauf hofft AMD. Für sie könnte Linux eine Chance eröffnen, ein wenig vom Vorsprung des zehnmal größeren Marktführers Intel einzuholen. Denn zum Start des neuen Prozessors im Sommer wird nur eine spezielle Linux-Version die Fähigkeiten des Opteron-Prozessors von AMD ausnutzen können. Zwar arbeitet auch Microsoft an einer Windows-Version für AMDs neuen Chip, aber ob die rechtzeitig zum Start des Prozessors stabil arbeitet, ist offen - Linux ist hier nach Ruiz’ Einschätzung viel weiter.


Deswegen ist es unternehmerisch sinnvoll für AMD - und auch für andere Branchengrößen wie Hewlett-Packard oder IBM - die Weiterentwicklung von Linux mitzufinanzieren. Durch die besonderen Lizenzbedingungen von Linux erwerben die Konzerne dadurch keine Rechte an dem Betriebssystem, gleichzeitig können sie aber sicher sein, dass das Betriebssystem auch in Zukunft kostenlos bleibt und in ihrem Sinne weiterentwickelt wird.



Microsoft: Argumente statt Polemik


Microsoft, mit Windows einer der Hauptkonkurrenten bei der Ausstattung von Computern mit Betriebssystemen, rechnet Linux bereits länger zu den ernsthaften Mitbewerbern. Das zeigt sich vor allem daran, dass der größte Softwarehersteller der Welt das Betriebssystem mittlerweile mit ernsthaften Argumenten bekämpft und nicht mehr - wie Konzernchef Steve Ballmer vor knapp zwei Jahren - als "Krebsgeschwür" bezeichnet. In einer Ende 2002 veröffentlichten und selbst finanzierten Studie des Marktforschungsunternehmens IDC argumentiert der Softwaregigant, dass Windows 2000 langfristig billiger ist als Linux, weil die Wartung preiswerter ist.


"Die hohen Kosten rühren daher, dass die Wartungswerkzeuge für Linux relativ wenig entwickelt sind", heißt es in der Studie. Der Unterschied bei den Wartungskosten wird nach Einschätzung des Marktforschungsunternehmens in Zukunft kleiner werden. Diese Entwicklung wird Branchenkoloss IBM auf der Linux World ab Mittwoch mit vorantreiben. Der Konzern präsentiert Komplettlösungen mit Hardware und Software für Unternehmen aus bestimmten Branchen, etwa Finanzdienstleistungen, Versicherungen oder Handel. "Wir wollen den Vormarsch von Linux in die Unternehmenswelt vorantreiben", sagte ein IBM-Sprecher.

Intel setzt mit Fujitsu Fuß in die Server-Königsklasse
Von Henry Lübberstedt; Hamburg

Intel und Fujitsu wollen gemeinsam High-End-Server entwickeln. Ein wichtiger Schritt für den weltgrößten Prozessorhersteller in den Märkten von Sun, IBM und HP mitzumischen.

Die geplanten Systeme werden Ende 2004 zunächst mit Intels Xeon und ein Jahr später mit Itanium-Prozessoren laufen, wahlweise unter Linux oder Microsoft Windows Server, teilten die beiden Unternehmen nach US-Börsenschluss in Santa Clara mit. Die anspruchvollsten der geplanten Systeme verfügten über bis zu 128 Itanium-Prozessoren, sagte ein Intel-Sprecher. Derartige Computer sollen Mainframe-Computer ersetzten können, wie sie Unternehmen derzeit für Aufgaben verwenden, in denen selbst kurze Systemausfälle Millionenschäden verursachen. Bisher ist der Markt für derartige Server fest in der Hand von Sun, IBM und HP. Fujitsu ist der fünftgrößte Server-Hersteller.

Für Intel und Fujitsu ist die Kooperation gleichermaßen nutzbringend. Fujitsu bringt Intel den lang ersehnten Einstieg in die lukrative Königsklasse der Server und mildert damit die Abhängigkeit vom PC-Markt, den Intel weitgehend unangfochten beherrscht. Intels Hardware verschafft Fujitsu die notwendige Flexibilität in einem sich rasch verändernden Servermarkt. Nach Einschätzung von Branchenkennern, werden Standardcomputer unter Linux den hochspezialisierten Servern zunehmend den Platz streitg machen.



"Fürchtet den Pinguin"


Wir sind uns sicher, dass die technische Entwicklung und die Kräfte im Markt vorhanden sind, um Linux zu einem vorherrschenden Betriebssystem bei High-End-Servern zu machen", heißt es in einer kürzlch von Goldman Sachs vorgelegten Studie mit dem Titel "Fürchte den Pinguin". Damit stoße Linux in Bereiche vor in denen Firmen die höchsten Investitionen tätigten. Goldman Sachs hatte im Rahmen der Studie 100 IT-Abteilungen in Unternehmen befragt.


Fujitsu fehlten derartige Systeme bislang im Portfolio und drohte damit, den Sprung in den schnell wachsenden Markt zu verpassen. Das soll nun offenbar mit Hochdruck nachgeholt werden. So umfasst die Kooperation auch die Einrichtung einer Linux-Gruppe bei Fujitsu, die das offene Betriebssystem auf die Bedürfnisse der beiden Firmen anpassen soll.

Reuters introduces Linux-based market data feeds

2 Feb 2003, 11:58pm ET

NEW YORK, Feb 3 (Reuters) - News and information group Reuters (ISEL:RTR) on Monday said that its flagship financial data and quote system is running on Linux, marking a new stage of acceptance for the alternative software in financial markets.

Reuters, working with Linux distributor Red Hat Inc. NASDAQ:RHAT), chipmaker Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) and computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ), said they are now selling a Linux-based system to pipe the latest market-moving data on to the trading room floors of banks and brokerages.
The companies said Linux offers a lower-cost, more flexible way to push market data to in-house financial trading systems than existing Unix-based software that have ruled Wall Street for 15 years. Reuters now runs its datafeed on more costly Unix machines from Sun Microsystems NASDAQ:SUNW), IBM (NYSE:IBM) and H-P.

"There is a focus within financial services markets and
across industry to reduce overall technology spending," said Stacey Quandt, a software analyst with Giga Information Group in Santa Clara, California. "This product addresses that."
London-based Reuters said its Reuters Market Data System
(RMDS) operates on a heavy-duty version of Linux from Red Hat that was designed to work on Intel-based computers. The
companies have optimized RMDS to run faster on H-P machines.

While Linux has taken root on Wall Street during the past
two years as a new way to manage in-house banking applications, the Reuters product is the first commercial application in the financial services industry to use Linux, Quandt said.

Reuters embrace of Linux marks a milestone for the upstart
software system within financial markets, analysts said,
lending Linux greater credibility in mainstream business. While Linux is seen as a competitor to Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) in office computing, its main rival is Unix in the financial markets.

For Reuters, the move is part of an effort to open up its
news and analytic products so that its core financial customer base can run their trading systems in more flexible ways, while lowering overall costs for software, hardware and consulting.

The performance of Reuters data-feed system on Linux is
two-to-five times faster than the competing Unix system even while using cheaper hardware, Red Hat Vice President of Business Development Mike Evans said. Eight of the world`s ten biggest banks are now working with Red Hat on Linux systems, but mainly to run in-house software projects, he said.

Judy Chavis, H-P`s director of Linux development, said
sales of computers running the Reuters system had contributed to the company`s recent boast that H-P has sold some $2 billion worth of Linux equipment, more than any other computer maker.

Quandt said H-P is first to offer Linux computers specially
tweaked to run the Reuters system, but others will follow. This competition among computer makers promises to drive down costs compared to prices customers pay when running Reuters data-feed on only one computer system at a time -- be it Sun, IBM or H-P.

Six global investment banks, including Morgan Stanley
(NYSE:MWD), agreed to test the Reuters system last May when the Linux datafeed initially was announced. A spokesmen said one of the five banks other than Morgan Stanley is actively using the Linux data-feed system and that other banks would follow.

"Our clients came to us about a year ago and said, `You
have got to do this,`" said Peter Lankford, a Reuters product manager. He said moving Reuters data feed system to Linux has played a significant role in helping Reuters win at least two broader, multi-million dollar contracts with investment banks.

Red Hat Achieves Defense Department COE Certification

11 Feb 2003, 08:14am ET

- - - - -

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2003--

Defense Information Systems Agency Recognizes Red Hat Linux
Advanced Server`s Enterprise Security and Interoperability Strengths

Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT), the world`s premier open source and Linux provider, today announced at the eGov Event in Washington, D.C., that Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is the first Linux platform to achieve Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA) Common Operating Environment (COE) certification. COE is a DoD software security and interoperability specification and is broadly recognized as a critical computing standard across the U.S. Government. Red Hat Linux Advanced Server achieved certification running on IBM eServer(TM) xSeries(TM) 330.
Michael Tiemann, Chief Technical Officer at Red Hat, will deliver a keynote at the E-Gov Web Enabled Government Conference(www.e-gov.com ) today in Washington, D.C. Tiemann`s session at the event will focus on explaining the importance of architecture in government IT infrastructure and why COE compliance for Linux is an
excellent example of establishing a supportable open source technology foundation.

"The Air Force`s Electronics Systems Command (ESC) applauds
adoption of industry-driven standards," said Matt Mleziva, program director, Defense Information Infrastructure for the United States Air Force. "The Department of Defense (DoD) can now achieve the required level of conformance so vital to joint warfare by embracing the self-governance standards created by the Linux community. This will
allow the DoD to remain current with commercial technology innovations while using the self-governance model of the Linux community."
The Defense Department certification is broadly recognized within the U.S. Federal Government as one of the most rigorous computing certifications to obtain. This prestigious certification establishes Red Hat Linux Advanced Server as an approved DoD mission-critical operating system and sends a clear message to all Federal agencies to confidently move forward with broader Red Hat infrastructure deployments. The value Linux brings to government IT architecture and infrastructure are scalability, security and flexibility in heterogeneous computing environments.
"The COE certification of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server opens low-cost computing solution avenues to Federal agencies for new open source server deployments," said Jim Stallings, general manager, Linux at IBM. "Combined with industry-leading server, software and services offerings from IBM, this certification empowers Federal decision
makers to leverage the superior security and interoperability Linux is able to deliver in mission-critical environments at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions."
"By Red Hat Linux Advanced Server becoming COE compliant, the federal government will now be able to take full advantage of the world-class solutions Oracle and Red Hat have been providing to the enterprise," said Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer at Oracle.
"With this announcement, Oracle will pursue Oracle9i Real Application Clusters 9iRAC segmentation on COE-certified Red Hat Linux Advanced Server, resulting in a highly scalable, low cost, reliable infrastructure solution."
"COE-certified Red Hat Linux Advanced Server will allow Defense programs and other government agencies to realize the same price-performance advantage that industry-standard HP ProLiant servers running Linux deliver to the enterprise," according to Judy Chavis, WorldWide Linux Director, HP Industry Standard Servers.
"The fact that Red Hat was able to achieve COE compliance for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server expels yet another myth about the enterprise readiness of open source software," said Michael Tiemann, CTO at Red Hat. "Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is a trusted platform for enterprise infrastructure and will now offer the same values to the
government. The COE Program`s inclusion of LSB aligns with the platform standards accepted by the Linux community. This is also yet another demonstration of how Red Hat`s open source solution put the theory of open standards into practice."
In addition to the cost, performance, and flexibility advantages associated with running Linux, government customers will now have access to a series of additional COE certification benefits,including:

-- Investment Protection: Adoption of Linux Standard Base (LSB)ensures future version compatibility for Linux deployments.

-- Software Quality: The LSB Application Binary Interface (ABI)level enhances software development quality and reliability.

-- Application Portability: GNU Network Object Model Environment(GNOME) and Openmotif provide for extensible user interfaces and management, as well as a migration path for porting legacy Motif Unix applications to Linux.

Red Hat will showcase Federal government focused Linux solutions with IBM during the E-Gov Web Enabled Government conference eGov event this week. For more information on Red Hat events and exhibits, please visit http://www.redhat.com or call 888-2-REDHAT.

13 Feb 2003, 08:03am ET

Oracle and Red Hat to Submit Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Industry`s First Independent Security Evaluation of Linux Commitment to Unbreakable Linux Drives Security Evaluation for Public and Private Sector Customers Worldwide

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
(http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?1623351)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?1623351) Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ:ORCL), the world`s largest enterprise software company, and Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT), the world`s premier open source Linux provider, today announced their intent to submit Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for a Common Criteria (ISO 15408) evaluation at Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2. Submitting the evaluation
is expected to enable security-conscious customers in both the public and private sector to procure an evaluated Linux operating system upon which they can run enterprise applications. In the future, Oracle and Red Hat intend to
work toward achieving further security evaluations of the Linux operating system. This complements a related announcement to be issued today by Oracle outlining the companies` intention to submit Oracle9i Database Release 2 on Linux operating system for a formal security evaluation at EAL4.

"Oracle is the leader in information assurance and we further strengthen our leadership role by submitting Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for a formal evaluation," said Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer at Oracle Corporation. "Increasingly Oracle`s security-conscious customers are interested in deploying Linux.

warum steigt Red Hat so munter ??

[bagg]

ich denke mal aus diesem grund.

Gefahr durch Linux

Microsoft-Chef Steve Ballmer erwartet kurz- und mittelfristig ernste Herausforderungen für den Softwarekonzern. Unter anderem führte er in einem Schreiben an die Mitarbeiter das freie Betriebssystem Linux an.

"Auf lange Sicht sehe ich unsere Wachstumchancen optimistisch", schrieb Ballmer. "Aber wir sehen uns kurz- und mittelfristig mit ernsten Herausforderungen konfrontiert." Dazu zählten Linux und die gesamtwirtschaftliche Lage.

„Wenn ich mit Geschäftskunden spreche, gibt es weniger Leidenschaft und Enthusiasmus für Technologie", schrieb Ballmer. Stattdessen werde "mehr für weniger" verlangt. Das alternative Betriebssystem Linux gewinne an Statur und bedrohe weiterhin Microsoft, dessen Betriebssystem Windows fast alle PCs der Welt steuert. "Nichtkommerzielle Software-Produkte im Allgemeinen und Linux im Besonderen stellen vom Wettbewerb her für uns und unsere gesamte Industrie eine Herausforderung dar, und sie erfordern unsere Konzentration und unsere Aufmerksamkeit."

Mit „Longhorn“, der in zwei Jahren erwarteten überarbeiteten Version von Windows, wolle Microsoft wettbewerbsfähig bleiben, schrieb Ballmer. Er bekräftigte das Ziel der Firma, die Produkte sicherer zu machen und betonte die Notwendigkeit, die Kundenzufriedenheit zu erhöhen.

[kunokuhn]

is ja irre heute
vielleicht sehen wir 20 € wieder ??

Red Hat Providing VeriSign With Linux-Based Servers; VeriSign is migrating over 2,000 servers to Red Hat Enterprise Linux; Move will reduce operating costs

9 September 2003, 09:03am ET

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003--Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT), the world`s premier open source and Linux provider and VeriSign, Inc (Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of critical infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced that VeriSign has chosen Red Hat Enterprise Linux as their platform for over 2000 servers operating across all company business units.

The migration to Red Hat has begun with VeriSign`s Naming and Directory Services business unit and the deployment of Oracle on Linux for several corporate applications. Plans to continue the migration will occur over the next 18 months throughout the entire company.

VeriSign maintains the definitive database of over 27 million Web addresses in .com and .net - the world`s most recognizable top-level domains and responds to over 9 billion DNS look-ups daily. This platform includes the critical infrastructure for the 13 globally deployed global top level domain name servers answering domain name system requests for all .com and .net domains and the A Root server, the hierarchical top of the Internet`s root server system and the most heavily utilized domain name server.

Through its Naming and Directory Services business, VeriSign is responsible for ensuring that the information and communications of the Internet are delivered promptly and to the right addresses. As more and more businesses and enterprises moved their business functions to the Internet, VeriSign must maintain near total accuracy and load-balancing for the billions of daily DNS queries. In a significant cost-reduction maneuver, VeriSign is migrating over 2,000 servers, many of them boasting extremely high performance, from Unix to Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on Intel chips.

"When Red Hat first launched Enterprise Linux, we were surprised by the new pricing model and initially compared the cost of in-house development of a distribution. Because we run dozens of independent applications we quickly realized that conformance to Enterprise Linux standards would be critical to gain third party software support.," said Dave Pool, vice president of infrastructure engineering at VeriSign. "VeriSign is migrating several significant databases to Linux, including Siebel Sales Force Automation, Clarify sales support, and business intelligence and decision support applications from Informatica and Primus."

Pool expects to achieve a substantially complete implementation within another eighteen months, which should lend another doubling of processing power. "Other companies beginning with Red Hat today could move much faster, because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Intel architectures are far more advanced today than it was three years ago."

While VeriSign has a corporate strategy of keeping multiple vendors for all items, the success of Red Hat has spurred VeriSign to make an exception and make Red Hat its sole Linux supplier. "We have five server vendors, just to get aggressive pricing, but only Red Hat for Linux," according to Pool.

Red Hat Delivers Strong Operating Performance in Second Quarter

Strong Growth in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Sales Drives First Quarterly Operating Profit and $10.4 Million in Operating Cash Flow

RALEIGH, N.C., Sep 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ: RHAT), the world`s premier open source and Linux provider, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2004. These results are provided in full GAAP format.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, Red Hat reported revenue of $28.8 million, a sequential increase of 6% compared to $27.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, and a year-over-year increase of 36%.

The company also reported net income of $3.3 million, or $0.02 per share. This compares to a net income of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share, in the prior quarter, and a net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.01 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

The company generated $10.4 million, or $0.06 per share, in positive cash flow from operations during the second quarter, which represents a 89% sequential increase from the first quarter and its fifth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations. The company ended the second quarter with a cash and investments balance of $307 million, a sequential increase of $7 million and a year-over-year increase of $18 million.

The company reported a net operating profit of $240,000, compared to a net operating loss of $1.1 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $4.7 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

Highlights for the second quarter include:

-- Second quarter sales of annual subscriptions for the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux family of technologies increased
sequentially by 2,300, or 10%, to approximately 26,000
subscriptions.

-- Subscription revenues from Enterprise Technologies grew 21%
sequentially and 123% year-over-year. The strong sales growth
reflects accelerating market interest by enterprise customers
in flexible, high-value open source solutions delivered and
supported by Red Hat.

-- Gross margins increased to record levels, with blended gross
margins at 72%, and gross margins of Enterprise subscription
technologies and services at 74%.
"Our strong quarterly operating results reflect the strong demand for standards-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux Solutions in the enterprise," said Kevin Thomspon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Red Hat. "The consistent improvement in our gross margins over the last three quarters to 72% for the second quarter shows the significant scalability of our subscription business model."

Ist RedHat nicht zu hoch bewertet?

Bei etwa 120 Mio $ Jahresumsatz und jetzt wieder mal 0,02$ Quartalsgewinn, sind aber mit über 1,5 Mrd $ an der Börse bewertet. Also 12facher Umsatz und KGV im hohen 3stelligen Bereich. Liquidität ist auch nicht so viel.

RedHat also ein Schnäppchen? Unter logischen Gesichtspunkten eher Strong Sell , aber man muß an der Börse mit dem Strom schwimmen, um erfolgreich zu sein.

Also weiter Strong Buy mit schlechtem Gewissen.

München muckt auf: Microsoft fliegt raus

Von Joachim Hofer, Handelsblatt

Der Angriff auf Microsoft beginnt ausgerechnet an der Isar, wo Microsoft heute sein neues Programm vorstellt: Als erste deutsche Großstadt hat München in diesem Jahr beschlossen, seine 14 000 städtischen PCs von Microsoft-Software auf Linux umzurüsten. Kein Einzelfall: Immer mehr Firmen und Kommunen wollen künftig ohne die Programme des amerikanischen Software-Riesen auskommen.

MÜNCHEN. Die Entscheidung Münchens hat weltweit Aufmerksamkeit erregt, weil sie zu einer Art Finale im Glaubenskrieg zwischen Microsoft und den Befürwortern der so genannten Open-Source-Software eskaliert. Linux ist eine solche Software, deren Quellcode für jeden Kunden und Programmierer einsehbar ist. Der größte Vorteil von Linux: Für das Betriebssystem werden keine Lizenzgebühren fällig.

„Viele Städte aus dem In- und Ausland kommen auf uns zu und erkundigen sich, wie wir auf Linux umrüsten“, sagt Ernst Wolowicz, der bei der Stadt München für die Umstellung zuständig ist. Doch so weit ist die Stadt noch gar nicht: Bis kommendes Frühjahr wird in München zusammen mit IBM und Suse Linux ein Konzept für den Wechsel erarbeitet. Dann muss sich der Stadtrat nochmals mit dem Thema befassen. Bis 2006 soll ein großer Teil der Umstellung abgeschlossen sein, hofft Wolowicz.

München erhofft sich langfristig Einsparungen in Millionenhöhe. Außerdem: Bislang hat Linux dem US-Riesen Microsoft lediglich bei Betriebssystemen auf Netzwerk- Rechnern Konkurrenz gemacht. In München geht es nun aber auch um die Ablösung von Windows und PC-Programmen wie dem neuen Office auf den Geräten der Endnutzer. Das trifft Microsoft an einer empfindlichen Stelle, denn die Büro-Programme sind für die Amerikaner ausgesprochen lukrativ.

Bis sich weitere Kommunen für Linux entscheiden, ist wohl nur eine Frage der Zeit. „Eine ganze Reihe von Städten ist dabei, sich das zu überlegen“, betont ein Sprecher des Nürnberger Software-Hauses Suse Linux. Dazu zählt unter anderem die österreichische Hauptstadt Wien. Die Stadt Schwäbisch Hall hat bereits 350 Nutzer mit Linux ausgerüstet.

In Unternehmen ist Linux bereits weit verbreitet. Das hat nicht nur Kostengründe. Viele IT-Manager sind überzeugt, dass Linux mehr Schutz gegen die Angriffe von Hackern bietet als die Microsoft-Produkte. Das hat auch das Außenministerium in Berlin erkannt und deshalb in den vergangenen Monaten ein Hochsicherheitsnetz für seine Botschaften in aller Welt aufgebaut, das mit Linux läuft.

Microsoft und Linux schließen sich aber nicht gegenseitig aus. Wo es sinnvoll sei, würden die Microsoft-Produkte weiter eingesetzt, heißt es bei der Stadt München.

Intel applauds as Linux moves into the mainstream

Oct 27, 2003 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Computer semiconductor industry leader Intel believes the Linux operating system has a great future in Australia. The company`s strategic relations manager for Australia, Brett Hannath, says a number of major companies are testing Linux on mission-critical systems. These companies include Qantas, Vodafone, Crazy John`s, Telstra and Coles Myer. Hannath says the critical factor for acceptance has been the backing of major companies such as Intel and IBM for the system, ensuring that they will provide systems support to customers using Linux. Gus Robertson of Linux distributor Red Hat said the operating system was being seen less as a substitute for Microsoft Windows, and more as a replacement for Unix.

Oracle and Red Hat Collaborate to Jointly Drive Features in Red HatEnterprise Linux 3 for Oracle Environments

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct 28, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- ( www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?2507230 ) -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL), in its continual commitment to low-cost computing and Linux, today announced certification of Oracle Database on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 along with technical support for Oracle products on the Red Hat platform. Red Hat and Oracle worked together to define features and improvements in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 that would enable higher scalability, better performance, and ease of management for Oracle environments. In addition, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 has over 50 new enhancements that will optimize Oracle and Linux environments.

"Oracle has displayed a deep commitment to Linux by establishing a strategic partnership with Red Hat to collaborate in the definition of features to enhance Oracle deployments," said Brian Stevens, vice president, Operating System Development at Red Hat. "Customers running Oracle solutions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 will experience faster performance and better reliability and scalability, at a value unachievable with proprietary Unix."

"Over the last few years, Oracle and Red Hat have collaborated to ensure that numerous technology enhancements would be included, and have published several leading performance benchmarks to bring Linux to the next level," said Dave Dargo, vice president, Linux Program Office, Oracle Corp. "Oracle provides an unmatched breadth of enterprise-class offerings on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, including infrastructure and enterprise applications software, seamless technical support and consulting services. We anticipate Linux adoption will continue to grow, and Oracle and Red Hat will continue to lead in meeting customer requirements."

Enhancements for Oracle Environments

A number of functional enhancements in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 provide direct benefits to Oracle customers. The new release will provide enhanced multi-threading, newer virtual memory systems and numerous I/O improvements, such as increased address space of the kernel from 1GB to nearly 4GB, which will have a significant impact on the number of users that large Oracle deployments can sustain. Overall, with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Oracle customers will see better scalability and support for systems with up to 64GB of memory, an increase of more than twice that of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 running Oracle.

Performance Leadership

Enterprise customers are moving to Linux-based systems to build mission-critical systems at the lowest cost. Using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Application Server 10g on Linux, customers today will have a choice to deploy enterprise class solutions on the lowest cost hardware and operating system infrastructure without compromising the availability, reliability, and security that businesses demand from real-world applications. Oracle and Red Hat continue to deliver the best performing enterprise applications, and continues to have the top benchmark results:

-- The World`s fastest TPC-C result on Linux, 136,110.98 tpmC with a price performance ratio of $3.94/tpmC on an industry-standard HP Integrity rx5670 64-bit server with four Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors at 1.5 GHz running Oracle Database 10g with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 3.(1)

-- SpecJAppServer 2002 MultipleNode Category -- Best Performance on Linux and Best Price/Performance: 1,165.06 TOPS@MultipleNode (Total Operations Per Second) with a price-to-performance ratio of $150.68 US$/TOPS@MultipleNode on a three-node HP ProLiant ML370G3 server cluster running with Oracle Application Server 10g and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 3.(2)

-- SpecJAppServer2002 Dual Node Category -- Best Performance and Best Price/Performance: 431.26 TOPS@DualNode (Total Operations Per Second) with a price-to-performance ratio of 160.62$US/TOPS@DualNode on single node HP ProLiant ML370G3 server with Oracle Application Server 10g and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.(3)

-- The World`s first TPC-R benchmark. This world record TPC-R 100 gigabyte result of 4,442.50 QphR@100GB with a price performance ratio of $35.00/QphR@100GB was achieved on a Dell PowerEdge 6600 running Oracle Database with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.(4)

-- The World`s first TPC-C cluster benchmark on Linux. The system benchmarked was an HP proLiant DL580 server cluster running Oracle Database and Red Hat Linux Advanced Server.(5)

[HoppundTop]

erneuter Angriff auf die 14 Dollar

schaun wir mal - wie Beckenbauer sagt.

[kunokuhn]

wie weit wird es hochgehen??

Sid 15 € zuviel ??

[HoppundTop]

Hallo Kunokuhn,

Linux ist ein weltweiter Trend.
Dieser Trend wird noch monatelang, vielleicht sogar ein paar Jahre anhalten.
Vielleicht solange bis jeder 2. Friseur oder jedes 2. Reisebüro auf Linux umgestellt hat.
Aber das ist im Moment Träumerei oder Phantasie. Apropo Phantasie - da sind wir ja an der Börse richtig.

An diesem Trend wollen auch die Fonds partizipieren.
Leider ist RedHat die einzige reine börsennotierte LINUX-Firma.
Viele haben zwar Linux mit im Portfolio, wie z.B. IBM aber pur Linux an der Börse ist halt derzeit nur RedHat. Leider oder gottseidank ist unsere deutsche SUSE noch nicht börsennotiert.
RedHat hat auch den Vorteil dass sie eine US-Company ist.

Und jetzt zu deiner Frage ob 15 Dollar genug sind?
I don`t know.

[kunokuhn]

@ HoppundTop

Hab das Ding schon lange im Depot, aber weit über
20 € gekauft !!!!

Hoffe auf weiter steigende Kurse

kunokuhn

[HoppundTop]

hallo kunokuhn,

schade das du 20 Euro gezahlt hast u. nicht nachinvestiert hast.

Vom Risiko kann RedHat jederzeit auf diesem Niveau nach unten korrigieren - im 2-stelligen %-Bereich.

Aber der Linux-Trend wird noch lange anhalten - das ist sicher.

Von der Chance her kann ich mir bei RedHat alles, aber auch alles vorstellen. Das ist die absolut beste Story z.Z., Amazon, Yahoo, eBay lässt grüssen.

RedHat hat zusammen mit Suse (nicht börsennotiert) ein absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Wenn du jetzt über StopLoss rausgehst, kommst du vielleicht nicht mehr schnell genug rein.

Ich hoffe nicht, das z.B. IBM RedHat übernimmt. Die geben schon mal ein paar Mrd. Dollar für ein Unternehmen aus (z.B. zuletzt 3-4 Mrd.Dollar für Rational-Software).

Desweiteren hoffe ich nicht, dass das Management von RedHat mit der Portokasse durchbrennt, siehe z.B. Imclone/Waksal. Davor ist man nie als Aktionär gefeit.

Die Chancen sollten klar überwiegen, aber Hellseher ist niemand.

Viele Grüße

Novell to buy Linux developer Suse for $210 mln cash

4 November 2003, 08:49am ET

NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Novell Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL), the business software maker, said Tuesday it agreed to acquire Linux software developer SuSE Linux AG of Germany for $210 million in cash in its latest push into the fast-growing market.

Novell, of Provo, Utah, also said International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), a major backer of Linux software, plans to make a $50 million investment in Novell convertible preferred stock.

The SuSE deal follows Novell`s acquisition in August of Ximian, a tiny developer of desktop Linux software that represents one of the few alternatives to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows software. Those terms were not disclosed.

SuSE is Europe`s leading distributor of Linux, a family of software that gives developers open access to its underlying code. The company ranks second among independent distributors of Linux behind Red Hat Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT) of the United States.

In a statement, Novell said the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the winding up of shareholder agreements. Novell expects the deal to close late in its first fiscal quarter ending in January 2004.

[jansche]

suse wird für 210 mio verkauf und red hat hat eine market cap von 2200 mio euro - d.h. suse wird für 1/10 des werts von red hat verkauft - also irgendwo stimmt hier etwas nicht - hoffentlich nicht bei der bewertung von red hat

[HoppundTop]

erst mal schlecht für RedHat
die bekommen Konkurrenz im eigenen Land

aber das unterstreicht natürlich auch, wie gegehrt die Linux-Firmen von den Global-Playern sind.

Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass sich RedHat auch ein Grosser unter den Nagel reist.

Das heisst im 2. Schritt kann die Spekulation auch wieder angeheizt werden.

Linux ist voll trendi.

[jansche]

ist ja alles prima, hoppundtop, nur wenn redhat zum gleichen preis wie suse verkauft wird, muss der kurs erstaml um 90% fallen - scary !

[HoppundTop]

hallo jansche,

du hast ja recht, aber die Cowboys wissen gar nicht wo Germany liegt u. kennen folge dessen auch Suse nicht.

Suse steht für Linux in Europa
RedHat für Linux in USA

Im IT-Bereich gibt es nur eine Ausnahme - und die ist SAP.

Aber das nützt jetzt alles nichts, es ist so gekommen wie es jetzt ist.

Und der Linux-Hype ist noch nicht vorbei - sondern erst am Anfang.

Es wird noch so manche Überraschung geben. Eigentlich gehts ja darum Microsoft Marktanteile abzujagen. Es bleibt mit Sicherheit spannend!

Viele Grüße
HoppundTop

[HoppundTop]

ich überlege mir gerade, wo RedHat heute abend 22:00 in USA stehen könnte.

Minus 30 % vom Tageshoch in Europa (Hoch war 13,6 EUR = ca. 15,5 Dollar) wären 10,8 Dollar
oder 10 % im Plus wären 17 Dollar

Microsoft hat auch noch 40 Mrd. Cash in der Tasche
Was wollen die eigentlich mit machen. Vielleicht sammelt Softi schon ein.

[kunokuhn]

warum geht es so steil bergab ??
nochmal aussteigen ??

[HoppundTop]

Hallo kunokuhn,

wieso aussteigen
vielleicht muss man einsteigen
eigentlich dokumentiert der Deal doch eigentlich das Interesse an Linux.

Viele Grüße
HoppundTop

[kunokuhn]

habe 320 stück zu 7,80 für die Kids gekauft
vieleicht kommt mann ja nochmal so billig wieder rein

[yunior]

kunokuhn was soll der Blödsinn ( Für die Kids gékauft).
Können deine Kids schon entscheiden,was Du kaufst.

[HoppundTop]

hallo Linux-Fans,

minus 11,7 % gestern bei RedHat.

wie könnte es weiter gehen, ein paar Gedanken dazu:

1. mit Novell/Suse ist schon ein GlobalPlayer als Konkurrent entstanden
2. Novell gewinnt gestern 21 %, war ein kluger Schachzug von Novell, damit sind sie wieder auf der Bühne zurück
3. IBM hält sich vornehm im Hintergrund
4. IBM bietet auch Trainings usw. für RedHat an
5. Die OpenSource-Gemeinde will lieber ein unabhängiges Unternehmen - spricht eindeutig für RedHat
6. gibt es vielleicht demnächst einen Deal RedHat mit ???,
welcher GlobalPlayer will auch 20% wie Novell zulegen
7. Linux ist u. bleibt trendi

Viele Grüße
HoppundTop

[Heinrichd.Seefahrer]

heute wieder 8prozent. das geht immer tiefer in den keller. Find den wert auch interessant, bin allerdings mit 28prozent nun doch ausgestiegen. Werd aber bei besseren kursen wieder einsteigen. Glaube an kurse unter 10, ganz sicher. gruß

Novell`s Linux Buyout of Suse Poses Problems for Raleigh, N.C.-Based RedHat

Nov 05, 2003 (The News & Observer - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Red Hat`s No. 1 competitor just got bigger.

In a deal announced Tuesday, Suse, the world`s second-largest supplier of the free Linux computer-operating software, agreed to be acquired by Novell, a business software maker based in Provo, Utah.

With Novell`s backing, Germany`s Suse will now have better resources, including a larger sales force and the support staff it needs to broaden its reach into the U.S. market, which is dominated by Red Hat.

Analysts expect the combined company will pose a major challenge to Raleigh-based Red Hat, now the top Linux vendor worldwide.

"The Novell acquisition gives Suse a better U.S. presence," said Victor Raisys, an analyst with SoundView Technology Group in San Francisco. "It presents the opportunity to erode Red Hat`s market share."

Red Hat shares, which have more than doubled in the past three months, fell $1.80, or 12 percent, to $13.58 Tuesday. Novell`s stock jumped 22 percent.

Linux computer-operating software is becoming an increasingly attractive -- and lower-cost -- alternative to Microsoft`s Windows. While Microsoft continues to dominate the market, more corporations, government agencies and other organizations are switching to Linux.

Shipments of computer servers running Linux will increase 16.6 percent in the next five years, according to market researcher IDC. Demand for Windows will rise 10.5 percent, and other competing systems will decline by 8.9 percent, IDC has said.

"We have created an attractive market," said John Young, Red Hat`s vice president of marketing. "We expected the market would attract new players."

Young said that Red Hat has no plans to change its strategy in light of the Suse acquisition.

"We go beyond where Suse has been," Young said.

For example, Red Hat`s Web applications, anti-virus, anti-spam and security programs are far more advanced that the basic open-source model that Suse offers, he said.

Unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows, Linux is developed by a community of thousands of largely unpaid programmers who share code freely.

For Novell, the move is part of its long-term strategy by the struggling software developer to move deeper in the Linux industry.

In August, Novell bought Boston-based Ximian, which provides Linux server and desktop solutions.

Novell will pay $210 million for Suse. As part of the agreement, Novell will also receive a $50 million investment from IBM, which has made similar investments in Red Hat and other makers of open-source software.

The deal is expected to close by the end of January.

If Novell can successfully integrate its acquisitions, the company may be able to win customers from Red Hat by leveraging its worldwide support staff and sales team, said Dan Kusnetzky, vice president of systems software research at IDC.

"Both Suse and Novell win in this [deal], and Red Hat potentially loses," Kusnetzky said.

Still, analysts agreed that Red Hat has a strong position in the market. In the past year, it has formed partnerships with IBM, Hewlett-Packard and a number of large computer makers.

"I think Suse`s product is significantly behind the Red Hat enterprise version," said Katherine Egbert, an analyst with CE Unterberg, Towbin. "If Red Hat keeps rolling out new versions of operating systems, it is going to take a while for Suse to catch up."

Red Hats neues Gratis-Linux: Fedora Core 1
07.11.2003 um 09:17 Uhr

MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Red Hat wird künftig keine kostenlosen Linux-Distributionen mehr unter eigenem Namen anbieten. Auch die jüngste Edition 9 wird nur noch bis Ende April 2004 mit Sicherheits-Updates und Patches unterstützt. Stattdessen konzentriert sich der Hersteller auf die Weiterentwicklung seiner Enterprise-Editionen. Privatanwender verweist Red Hat an das von ihm gesponserte Fedora-Projekt, das jetzt die Linux-Distribution " Fedora Core 1" herausgebracht hat. Sie enthält ausschließlich quelloffene Software und steht gratis in Form von drei ISO-Images zur Verfügung. Wer die Distribution herunterladen will, sollte über einen schnellen Internet-Zugang verfügen. Insgesamt umfasst das Paket knapp 1,9 Gigabyte.

Zur Softwareausstattung zählen unter anderem die grafischen Benutzerführungen Gnome und KDE, die Bildbearbeitung Gimp, das Büropaket Openoffice.org 1.1.0, der Web-Browser Mozilla 1.4.1, die CD-Brennprogramme CDRecord und XCDRoast sowie Samba, die Scanner-Schnittstelle Sane und Netzwerk-Tools.

Angriff auf die Linux-Kernel-Entwicklung ist fehlgeschlagen
07.11.2003 um 13:10 Uhr

MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Ein unbekannter Hacker hat versucht, ein trojanisches Pferd in den Linux-Kernel einzuschleusen. So ist auf dem Server "Kernel.bkbits.net" ein Kern des quelloffenen Betriebssystem aufgetaucht, der zwei Codezeilen enthielt, die es einem Angreifer ermöglicht hätten, mit Administratorenrechten auf befallene Systeme zuzugreifen. Allerdings scheiterte der Versuch, den manipulierten Kernel zu verbreiten, denn das von den Linux-Entwicklern zur Kontrolle des Codes eingesetzte Tool "Bitkeeper" spürte die Schadroutine auf. Laut Larry McVoy, Initiator von Bitkeeper, war der falsche Kernel nicht länger als 24 Stunden verfügbar. Zudem werde der Kernel.bkbits.net-Server nur von wenigen Entwicklern genutzt.

Wesentlich schlimmer hätte sich der Angriff ausgewirkt, wenn die manipulierte Linux-Quelle in die Kernel-Archive Kernel.org oder Linux.bkbits.net eingeschleust worden wäre, räumte McVoy ein.

Der Hacker habe sich offenbar bereits zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt Zugangsrechte zu dem betroffenen Kernel-Server verschafft und diese nun zum Einschleusen der Schadroutine genutzt. In einem ersten Schritt habe er den zum Download bereit stehenden Linux-Kern bereinigt. "Das hat fünf Minuten gedauert", sagte McVoy. Zurzeit wird der Server komplett neu aufgesetzt, um das Schlupfloch zu schließen.

Das von den Linux-Entwicklern standardmäßig eingesetzte Bitkeeper-Tool gleicht die Quellcodes der auf unterschiedlichen Servern zur Verfügung stehenden Linux-Kerne ab und hat so den manipulierten Kernel schnell identifiziert. (lex)

Hallo Freunde!
Bei der letzten LINUX-Messe in Kalifornien stellte Ret Hat ein neues 64
Bit-Betriebssystem vor, das auf einem PC mit dem AMD-Athlon 64 Prozessor jede
Frage beantworten konnte.
Ein staunender und überzeugter Windows-User bat dem LINUX-Programmierer dem
Programm folgende Frage zu beantworten:
"Wo ist zur Zeit mein Vater"?
Das TFT-Display verdunkelte sich etwas, das Programm begann zu arbeiten und
der Athlon 64 zu rechnen und zu rechnen.
Plötzlich leuchtete das Display hell auf und es erschien die Antwort:
"Ihr Vater sitzt an der Strommeile 712 am Mississippi und angelt"
"Ha" lachte der Microsoft-Infizierte. "Sch... LINUX, mein Vater ist schon
lange tot"
Der LINUX-Programmierer gab die Bestätigung ein:
Vater schon lange tot.
Darauf das Programm:
Tot, ist der Ehemann Ihrer Mutter. Ihr Vater sitzt immer noch am Mississippi
und angelt !

Raleigh, N.C.-Based Red Hat Draws Flak for Raising Linux Pricing

Nov 26, 2003 (The News & Observer - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Red Hat`s decision to change the way it charges customers has some Linux fans questioning whether the Raleigh software company`s business model is starting to resemble archrival Microsoft.

Red Hat has slowly been implementing a new price model for the past year. This month, Red Hat reminded customers that as of April 30, 2004, the company will no longer provide support for Red Hat Linux 9, its older and less expensive software. Instead, it is encouraging people to buy new, costlier versions.

Red Hat is also requiring customers to pay for software and support agreements for every computer its products are used on, rather than allowing customers to buy one version that could be copied to multiple computers.

"That was not a fair relationship between company and customer," said John Young, Red Hat`s vice president of marketing. "We just decided to keep it simple and say that everywhere you are using Red Hat product, you should have a support agreement."

The shift is part of Red Hat`s goal to overcome its top challenge and build a profitable business around the Linux computer-operating software, an "open source" product that is freely available on the Internet. The company is winning customers among large corporations and this year reported its first profit.

Red Hat is now pushing customers to buy its Red Hat Enterprise Linux at $179 for each computer. That price includes a limited one-year maintenance plan. If customers need a full support agreement, which includes being able to reach a technology specialist, then they could buy one of Red Hat`s more expensive packages for $299, $1,499 or $2,499, depending on their needs, Young said.

Jason M. Tower, president and owner of Cerient Technologies in Garner, which helps small companies manage their Linux software, said that some users may view Red Hat`s move as step backwards, but he disagrees.

"There was no reason to expect that Red Hat was going to give me free support for my computer for the rest of my life," Tower said.

Even so, Tower said that he is looking at several options for his three dozen clients as Red Hat`s deadline approaches. Among them is the possibility of switching some customers to Suse, Red Hat`s main competitor.

From a business perspective, Red Hat`s new strategy makes good sense, said Dan Kusnetzky, vice president of systems software research at IDC. The problem, he said, is that Red Hat`s price shift is contrary to how some people in the open-source community want to see the world.

"There is talk that Red Hat is becoming the Microsoft of Linux," Kusnetzky said. "This phenomenon cannot help Red Hat."

Young said that most of Red Hat`s major customers, which include Amazon.com, IBM and AOL, understand its business model.

"A large majority of our customers understand why they are paying us," and want Red Hat`s technical support, Young said.

And Red Hat still offers lower-cost versions of its software, including for educational use, with fewer features and no long-term support, Young said. The company also supports the Fedora project, a type of free open-source software built by the Linux community that was released this month.

IBM and Red Hat Expand Relationship to Deliver Red Hat Enterprise Linuxv.3 Across All IBM eServer Systems

RALEIGH, NC AND ARMONK, NY, Dec. 11, 2003 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IBM and Red Hat today announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3, Red Hat`s newest offering, is now available across the entire IBM eServer product line.

The two companies are also announcing that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is now packaged with sales of IBM`s xSeries and BladeCenter servers in Japan, North America, and eventually around the world. The packaging will include Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES and WS, and in the future the recently released Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3.

Today`s announcement represents an expansion of the existing multiyear agreement that commenced last year. The agreement calls for the two companies to work together to provide broad Linux support, including servers, software and implementation services, to customers worldwide.

Server, Workstation and Storage Support

Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3 will span all IBM eServer platforms with a single Linux architecture -- iSeries, pSeries, xSeries, zSeries, BladeCenter (including the BladeCenter JS20 based on POWER technology), Clusters 1350 and 1650, e325, IntelliStation and TotalStorage. IBM will work closely with Red Hat to ensure optimum performance across all IBM eServer products. Unique advantages of Linux on IBM eServer platforms include:


-- iSeries -- Linux deployments on iSeries are rising dramatically as
customers can consolidate infrastructure workloads and integrate
applications on a single server with shared processor partitioning, dynamic
resource movement, and resource virtualization. With Capacity on Demand,
processors can be dynamically activated and moved into running Linux and
OS/400 partitions to give immediate power to changing workload demands.

-- pSeries -- Linux on IBM`s pSeries brings flexibility and customer
choice to an already highly scalable and reliable POWER platform that
customers are using today. Through the robustness and openness of POWER
technology, customers can run Linux without compromise -- from the entry
level 1-2 way POWER4 systems to the high-end 32-way POWER4 systems alone or
with AIX through Logical Partitioning -- all at very affordable pricing.

-- xSeries -- A reliable foundation for Linux solutions, xSeries servers
leverage IBM Enterprise X-Architecture state-of-the-art, industry-leading
technologies to deliver enterprise class power, scalability, and
availability at very attractive prices.

-- eServer BladeCenter -- BladeCenter running Linux provides a new way to
achieve the critical goal of doing more with less (pay as you grow) with
easy modular scalability. Last month, IBM introduced the industry`s first
blade server based on POWER technology -- the IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20
-- extending blade technology to 64-bit computing through a Linux-based
blade solution.

-- zSeries -- IBM eServer zSeries benefits -- performance, scalability,
security and reliability -- are combined with the flexibility and open
standards of Linux. Allows consolidation from tens to hundreds of
independent Linux servers onto a single server, deployable in minutes.

Services and Support

IBM Global Services will provide support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3, building off of its support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and Red Hat Network managed software services. Red Hat and IBM Global Services will provide comprehensive end-to-end service to customers with Linux technical knowledge and engineering resources, as well as collaborate and package each other`s consulting and service offerings to provide one-stop support for customers` Linux requirements. Red Hat and IBM Global Services continue to offer customers migration services to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Software Support

IBM will also deliver support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 across its key software portfolio, spanning WebSphere, DB2, Lotus, Tivoli and Rational. IBM is currently the largest provider of software that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with more than 200 software products that support the distribution. With expanded Red Hat support across IBM`s server offerings, IBM will also be the only company to deliver a broad array of software for xSeries, iSeries, pSeries and zSeries running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

"IBM and Red Hat are deepening their alliance to provide the advantages of Linux to customers everywhere," said Scott Handy, vice president of Linux strategy and market development at IBM. "The two companies create a compelling value proposition, combining forces to enable a business to deploy a resilient infrastructure throughout the enterprise built on Linux."

"Red Hat Linux v.3 will enable IBM`s customers to leverage the power and value of open source across several hardware architectures within a compute infrastructure," said Mike Evans, vice president of Channel Sales and Development at Red Hat. "The common code base will promote security, stability and ease of manageability. The availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3 on all of IBM eServer Systems signals the deep commitment our companies have to jointly deliver enterprise Linux solutions to the enterprise."

About IBM

IBM is the world`s largest information technology company, with 80 years of leadership in helping businesses innovate. Drawing on resources from across IBM and key Business Partners, IBM offers a wide range of services, solutions and technologies that enable customers, large and small, to take full advantage of the new era of e-business.

Im Rahmen der erweiterten Allianz wird Qualcomm exklusiv die Technologie-Plattformen von IBM für seine Mobilfunk-Applikationen verwenden. Damit stellt Qualcomm von seiner proprietären Plattform auf das Open-Source-Betriebssystem Linux um. Analysten bezeichnen diese Entscheidung als "signifikanten Schritt" in der Mobilfunkindustrie.

Geht da um rechtliche Absicherung gegenüber Chaoten wie SCO:

Frage mich aber schon, wieso der Kurs jetzt so weit nach oben geht..ich halte RHAT seit mehreren Jahren und ärgere mich nun zum ersten Mal über den teuren Euro, da ich deshalb trotz des Anstiegs zurück zu alten Höhen nicht ohne Verlust verkaufen könnte.
Die Nachricht kommt übrigens aus dem `Motley Fool`-Forum.
Dort war auch ein Link auf diese Nachricht:

Press Release Source: Desktop Linux Summit

Red Hat, Seagate, Sun Microsystems, and Lindows.com Sponsor Desktop Linux Summit 2004
Tuesday February 3, 6:31 am ET
Registration Now Open for Second Annual Event, Attendance Expected to Grow 100%

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Top industry leaders have signed on as sponsors of Desktop Linux Summit 2004 (www.desktoplinuxsummit.org), the second annual event that focuses exclusively on Linux on the desktop. Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - News), Seagate (NYSE: STX - News), Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - News), and Lindows.com (www.lindows.com) have confirmed their support for the event. Sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees are encouraged to sign-up (www.desktoplinuxsummit.org) to reserve their spot at desktop Linux`s premier event, to be held in April in San Diego, California.

ADVERTISEMENT
Taking place on the prestigious Del Mar Fairgrounds, Desktop Linux Summit 2004 will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on April 22 and 23, 2004. Desktop Linux Summit 2003 accommodated 600 participants, and sold out almost a month before the actual event. Anticipating unparalleled interest in the growing desktop Linux movement, this year`s venue will accommodate twice that, with the number of both exhibitors and attendees expected to double from last year.

Exhibiting at the 2004 Desktop Linux Summit is a unique selling opportunity, and an ideal setting for companies to network with entities involved with desktop Linux on any level. The Summit is the largest conference dedicated exclusively to Linux on desktop computers, and substantial coverage from media reporting to all corners of the world will be present. Companies are able to get their message to key decision-makers across a wide variety of industries in a cost-effective manner.

Attendees will meet with heavyweights and promising start-ups, learning all aspects of the desktop Linux movement and gaining unique insights from experts in the industry. Decision-makers will find the event invaluable for learning about the benefits of desktop Linux, while others will take advantage of the unique learning opportunity. Speaker presentations, panels, and extensive Q&A sessions will deepen understanding of revolutionary technologies, while an extensive exhibit hall will offer the chance to become familiar with the leading names in desktop Linux. Registration is now open at www.desktoplinuxsummit.org.

"Red Hat has achieved great success in the enterprise server market. The next step is to create a compelling client solution that works well within the enterprise infrastructure," said John Young, vice president of marketing at Red Hat. "Interoperability, management and security will be the key areas of focus for a Red Hat enterprise desktop solution."

"Seagate is strongly committed to bringing our channel customers the new technologies that are changing the face of computing," said Joe Cousins, Seagate Senior Director of Global Channel Marketing. "Desktop Linux Summit 2004 is an essential opportunity to help shape the future of Linux on the desktop."

"Never before have we seen such worldwide enthusiasm for Linux desktop solutions like the Java Desktop System. When you have entire countries signing up, such as China and the United Kingdom, that`s one rousing endorsement of the Linux desktop space," said Peder Ulander, director of Desktop Solutions, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The wait is over; the timing is right. Businesses now have viable enterprise-grade Linux desktop solutions with complete support services, management tools, a dedicated developer base and industrial-grade developer tools."

"Given the amazing success of Linux elsewhere, there`s increasing interest in Linux next taking on Microsoft Windows on the client. It won`t `just happen,`" said Illuminata Inc. Senior Analyst Gordon Haff. "Major vendors and users will have to make a concerted push to get Linux accepted as a mainstream desktop choice. But if they can together help Linux to reach critical mass, its potential on the desktop is as great as on the server."

"Economics are compelling computer users to seek out new opportunities with Linux on the desktop," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer and founder of Lindows.com Inc. "Last year at Desktop Linux Summit 2003, we were on the doorstep of a major movement; this year desktop Linux is here. The technology is here. Desktop Linux Summit will connect that technology with consumers who are looking for quality, value and want to learn about the thousands of desktop Linux applications available."

HighTech Investor: Liebe auf den zweiten Blick
Der Siegeszug von Linux ist nicht auzuhalten. Auch wenn die Entwicklung des alternativen Betriebssystems länger als ursprünglich prognostiziert dauert, gibt es dennoch genügend Anzeichen die für Linux sprechen.

Der Traum ist so alt wie die Dominanz von Windows unter den Betriebssystemen. Eine anwenderfreundliche Software, die stabil ist und zudem kostenfrei. Zumindest die letzten beiden Punkte erfüllte die Open Source-Software Linux. Und die Erwartungen an das alternative Betriebssystem waren hoch. So hoch, dass Distributoren, die eigene Versionen von Linux auf den Markt brachten, an der Börse astronomische Bewertungen erreichten. Doch die oft propagierte Revolution auf dem PC blieb aus. Linux blieb bislang ein Nischenprodukt. Und mit den enttäuschten Hoffnungen von Windows-geplagten Usern und Anlegern stürzten auch die Kurse.

Nun zeichnet sich eine zweite Chance für Linux ab, die positiven Nachrichten mehren sich. Das alternative Betriebssystem ist am Kommen, wenn auch langsamer als ursprünglich geplant. Hewlett Packard hat sich kürzlich für seine Linux-Offensive Novell als Software-Partner ausgesucht. Die Novell-Version von Linux, Novell SuSE Linux, soll vor allem Unternehmen den Umstieg erleichtern, da Novell auch Support anbietet. Dass Microsoft als langjähriger Partner von HP über das neue Angebot nicht glücklich sei, wurde von Hewlett Packard billigend in Kauf genommen. Als Einsatzmöglichkeit für Linux wurden vor allem Arbeitsplätze definiert, an denen Mitarbeiter nur wenige Anwendungen benötigten, z. B. in Call- oder Support-Centern.

Auch vom IT-Giganten IBM gibt es Neuigkeiten in Sachen Linux. IBM und der Linux-Distributor Red Hat haben kürzlich ihre Kooperation ausgeweitet. Bereits im November 2001 hatten die beiden Unternehmen eine strategische Vereinbarung getroffen, um Kunden mit Linux-Lösungen für den Unternehmenseinsatz zu versorgen. Seitdem kooperieren die beiden Unternehmen, um Linux-Kunden weltweit umfangreichen Support anzubieten. Gemäß der neuen Vereinbarung liefert IBM Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 zusammen mit IBM eServer POWER-Hardware und entsprechendem Support aus. Red Hat ist nach eigenen Angaben der erste Linux-Distributor, der eine Vereinbarung mit IBM zur Auslieferung von Linux mit IBM POWER eServern abschließen konnte. Kunden sollen dadurch von einer einfachen, modularen Skalierbarkeit ihrer Rechner profitieren.

Dass die Linux an Bedeutung gewinnt, das lässt sich schon an den jüngsten Quartalszahlen von Red Hat ablesen. Die Linux-Revolution scheint sich doch noch anzubahnen. Im vierten Quartal 2003 hatte das US-Unternehmen von einem auf 37 Mio. USD (25,9 Mio. USD) gestiegenen Umsatz berichtet. Das Unternehmen erzielte dabei einen Nettogewinn von 5 Mio. USD. Im Vorjahreszeitraum waren dem noch 273.000 USD Verlust entgegen gestanden. Im Gesamtjahr erzielte Red Hat sogar 126. Mio. USD Umsätze. Verglichen mit dem Geschäftsjahr 2003 (Stichtag 29. Februar) entspricht dies einem Plus von 39 Prozent.

„Wir hatten ein großartiges Jahr mit starken Steigerungen bei Umsatz, Cash Flow und Profitabilität", sagte Red-Hat Manager Kevin Thompson zu den Ergebnissen. Das Wachstum bei den Anwendern habe die Erwartungen von Red Hat getroffen. Thompson zeigte sich auch für das kommende Geschäftsjahr positiv. Alleine im vierten Quartal gewann der Linux-Spezialist 87.000 neue Kunden. Dies zeigt zumindest eines sehr deutlich: Linux ist nicht tot, sondern erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit.

Anleger können indes nur bedingt von diesem Trend profitieren. IBM, Hewlett Packard und Novell sind natürlich keine reinen Linux-Aktien. Linux macht dort – zumindest zur Zeit – nur einen verschwindend geringen Anteil vom Gesamtgeschäft aus. Anders sieht es mit Red Hat aus. Als einzige der besprochenen Aktien ist Red Hat eine reinrassige Linux-Aktie. Doch die aktuelle Bewertung ist alles andere als einladend. Zwar übertreffen sich derzeit die Analysten erneut mit neuen Kurszielen. Erst vor wenigen Tagen kamen die Deutsche Securities und Prudential zu positiven Ergebnissen. Doch die Entwicklung von Red Hat sollte Anleger vorsichtig machen. In den vergangenen zwölf Monaten vervierfachte sich der Aktienkurs. Auf Basis der aktuellen Gewinnschätzungen ergibt sich ein astronomisches KGV von 106 für das Geschäftsjahr 2004/05. Da kommen ungute Erinnerungen an die Zeiten vor dem Internet-Hype auf. Eine Korrektur der überhitzten Aktie ist daher überfällig.

Als interessanteste der besprochenen Aktien erscheint daher noch Novell. Der ehedem erfolglose Netzwerker hat nun eine Vision, die da heißt Linux. Mit der Konzentration auf Unternehmenskunden ist Novell dort aufgestellt, wo die Entwicklung Linux am weitesten fortgeschritten ist. Auf der Brainshare, der Hausmesse des Unternehmens, räumte Linux-Vater Linus Torvalds Novell eine großartige Zukunft ein: „Ihr habt das Potential, der nächste große Player zu werden“. Als Linux-Powerhouse, wie CEO Jack Messman sein Unternehmen gerne verstanden sieht, dürfte alleine schon die Lizenzpolitik des Wettbewerbers Microsoft sorgen.

Red Hat and Network Appliance Strengthen Partnership by Bringing New iSCSI Solutions to Linux Environments
12/06/2004 08:01
Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT) and Network Appliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTAP) today announced joint efforts related to the development and deployment of iSCSI within production Red Hat Enterprise Linux(R) environments. Both Red Hat and NetApp have committed to supporting the iSCSI software initiator in the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4 as well as future Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions based on the new 2.6 Linux kernel. The expanded partnership will enable customers to experience maximized flexibility, enhanced performance, and increased cost savings with open, industry-standard IP-based SAN environments.

Additionally, the Red Hat Global File System (GFS) and Cluster Suite are now supported with NetApp(R) storage systems. Combined with industry-standard Fibre Channel and iSCSI technologies, Red Hat and NetApp offer customers enhanced flexibility with the ability to leverage their choice of iSCSI or Fibre Channel SANs. Red Hat currently uses NetApp storage systems for several of its mission-critical internal applications, including the award-winning Red Hat Network and other applications based on Oracle(R).

"NetApp with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a proven combination capable of supporting robust and open production application platforms," said Paul Cormier, executive vice president of Engineering at Red Hat. "The Red Hat and NetApp engineering organizations have collaborated to develop enterprise-level Linux grid environments using an iSCSI-based GFS product suite. With current and future support of iSCSI in our upcoming Linux releases, customers will benefit from the most advanced GFS technologies complemented by the performance and cost leadership advantages of a NetApp SAN storage solution -- be it iSCSI or Fibre Channel SAN. These solutions create greater choice for customers building open source architectures."

"NetApp IP SAN expertise makes us the natural fit as a reference platform for Red Hat iSCSI development efforts," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Marketing at Network Appliance. "NetApp has always been a proponent of cost-effective and scalable storage environments based on open file systems and open networking technologies, including GFS and iSCSI."

na, ein anstieg wie bei cmgi wäre doch OK

[DonauPirat]

@Wunram:
In seiner nächsten Linux-Ausgabe wird Red Hat den Standard iSCSI unterstützen, mit dem sich entfernte Speichersysteme wie direkt angeschlossene Datenträger verhalten. Konkret wird Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update 4 iSCSI in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Speichersystem-Hersteller Network Appliance unterstützen.

[suparich]

also ich glaub ich hab mal gelesen, dass es die Zahlen am 22.11 geben sollte...
Meiner Meinung könnte Red Hat vielleicht wieder ein interessanter rebound gelingen...

[EinKoelner]

Der Hammer ist diese News aber nicht.

Network Appliance hat schon länger einer Partnerschaft mit Novell bzw. SuSE.

Deren Server-Version von SuSE Linux ist schon ab August mit iSCSI-Unterstützung erhältlich.

Analyst: Sun soll Linux-Anbieter aufkaufen
(©BörseGo - http://www.boerse-go.de)

Steven Milunovich, Technologie-Analyst bei Merrill Lynch, hat dem IT-Konzern Sun Microsystems dazu geraten, einen Linux-Distributor zu übernehmen. Dadurch könne sich das Unternehmen besser von seinen Konkurrenten abheben. Derzeit seien die bestehenden und potentiellen Kunden hin- und hergerissen zwischen den Betriebssystemen Linux und Solaris von Sun Microsystems. Würde man im Linux-Bereich zukaufen, dann bestünden diese Probleme nicht mehr. Sinn machen würde laut Milunovich etwa die Übernahme von Novell oder Red Hat.

Sun Microsystems notieren an der Nasdaq derzeit unverändert bei 5,34 Dollar; Novell verbessern sich um 3,53 Prozent auf 7,03 Dollar und Red Hat um 2,84 Prozent auf 16,27 Dollar.

[Schilddruese]

oh das wäre was. da würde ich mich freuen. am besten so um die 20 euro :-) aber hoffentlich wird das dann nicht so eine übernahmeschlacht wie oracle / peoplesoft --- das war ja zum heulen

toll, die aktie bricht trotzdem ein! so ein mist! verkaufen oder halten? was meint ihr?

[kunokuhn]

kann das mal jemand kurz interpredieren

mein Englisch is nich so gut

Danke

werte meine wohl noch nicht Verkaufen

[Cerec]

Ja genau. Ja nicht verkaufen, der Aufwärtstrend ist doch bei der roten Mütze voll intakt. grins!!! Aus der roten Mütze wird wohl langfristig die rote Laterne werden wenn man mit Wachstumsraten bei anderen Linux-Firmen vergleicht.

Man könnte denken das Linuxgeschäft läuft an Red Hat vorbei. Bin selbst überzeugt von Linux, aber bei Red Hat scheint das Management unfähig zu sein. Wartet erstmal bis die Klagen wegen der Bilanzierung durchkommen, dann geht es mit dem Kurs bestimmt rauf grins.

Red Hat hat so oft die Anleger enttäuscht wer hier long investiert, ist selber schuld, allenfalls eine kl. Tradingposition.

[therman]

Hi,

RHAT hat eine Bewertung von ca. 2,4 Milliarden Dollar!

Umsatz im letzten Quartal: 50,9 Millionen.

RHAT ist nicht gerade billig, in dem Kurs steckt schon eine

[HoppundTop]

Hallo,

bin auch ein Freund von Linux bzw. RedHat.
Habe mich stoploss-bedingt vor Monaten von dem Wert verabschiedet.

Vor kurzer Zeit habe mich mich wieder bei Novell engagiert. Die sind ja über SUSE auch bei Linux dabei.

Management-probleme wie bei Redhat sind für Aktienkurse immer sehr schlecht. Aber vielleicht ist dies auch mal wieder eine Chance zu einem günstigen Einstieg. Nur bei Wachstumswerten den Boden zus suchen, ist ja fast unmöglich. Wenn es schlecht läuft, halbiert sich so eine Aktie mehrfach.

Viele Grüße
Hoppundtop

[Schilddruese]

naja, red hat wird sich wohl kaum mehrfach halbieren... immerhin hat red hat die prognosen fast erfüllen können. nichts wird so heiss gegessen, wie es gekocht wird. abwarten und tee trinken. ich sehe Redhat in ein paar wochen wieder locker über der 12 / 13 Euro marke. vorausgesetzt, der dollar / euro kurs steigt nicht auf 1,50!

[kunokuhn]

@schilddrüse

hoffentlich hast du recht
und es geht in diese Regionen

was bedeutet die gestrige Meldung
gut oder schlecht??

Die 12 $ wurde soeben unterschritten, daß kann gewaltigen Verkaufsdruck geben, wenn die Aktie heute unter 12$ schließen sollte, dann sehe ich schwarz

[therman]

Hi,

wie schon in meinem Posting #268 geschrieben ist RHAT

ziemlich hoch bewertet.

Auch jetzt ist die Aktie noch hoch bewertet.
Es droht ein weiterer Rückgang bis 10$.

therman

[Schilddruese]

die 12 dollar wurden schon öfter unterschritten. so hoch ist red hat nicht bewertet. man muss bisschen cool bleiben. wenn der gesamtmarkt runtergeht, gehts damit eben auch gen süden. wir sprechen uns in 3 monaten. dann sehen wir ja wo red hat steht.

[kunokuhn]

hatte so schön hoch gearbeitet

[Schilddruese]

ja, verdammt nochmal. die gute alte red hat aktie. was ist nur aus ihr geworden. dümmpelt bei 8 euro herum. meine güte. aber cool bleiben und verkaufen wenn die anderen die gier packt! :-)

Spanische Supermarktkette vereinheitlicht IT-Infrastruktur mit Red-Hat-Linux

Die nach eigenen Angaben größte spanische Supermarktkette Mercadona hat die in ihren Filialen gebräuchlichen Betriebssysteme vereinheitlicht und setzt dafür nun 10.000 Desktop-Linuxdistributionen von Red Hat ein. Im Hintergrund läuft Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Zuvor hatte Mercadona über eine heterogene Infrastruktur verfügt, die von den Systemen der Franchise-Nehmer abhing. Durch die Vereinheitlichung werde eine viermal so schnelle Rechengeschwindigkeit wie bei den alten Systemen erreicht.

Mercadona hatte in Spanien zum Ende 2004 ein Netz von 862 Supermärkten. Damit erzielte die Kette im vergangenen Jahr 8,77 Milliarden Euro Umsatz. Mit der Vereinheitlichung erhofft sich das Unternehmen, dass der Zahlungsablauf beschleunigt und die Arbeit der Kassierer vereinfacht wird, damit die Kunden besser bedient werden können, teilt Red Hat mit. (anw/c`t)

Ciao,

hier ein Versuch die ‚Net income’ Quartalsergebnisse der letzten 7 Quartale aus den Bilanzen zu extrahieren, Beträge in thousands Dollar:

31.August 2004 _____ 11.825
31.Mai 2004 ________ 10.917

28.Februar 2003 _____ 4.902
30.November 2003 ___ 4.145
31.August 2003 ______ 3.638
31.Mai 2003 _________ 1.047

30.November 2002 _____ 214

Die Frage, die sich jeder selbst stellen kann ist natürlich, ob diese dynamischen Steigerungen des net income in den zukünftigen Quartalen so weitergehen kann.

Kann mir jemand erklären, wie die Tabelle „Earnings Estimates“ , die bei redhat unter Investor Relations im Internet zu finden ist, zu verstehen ist ? Was bedeutet z.B ‚FISC YR Annual’ oder ‚CAL YR Annual’ und wie kommen diese Zahlen zustande ?

Ciao,allora

Firmengeschichte
Die Firma Red Hat wurde 1993 von Mark Ewing gegründet und schloss sich 1995 mit der Firma ACC des Kanadiers Bob Young zusammen. Young übernahm in der Firma das Amt des CEO, welches dann 1999 auf Matthew J. Szulik überging. Heute ist Red Hat eines der größten und bekanntesten Unternehmen auf dem Gebiet der Open Source-Software. Red Hat hat über 700 Mitarbeiter in 22 Niederlassungen weltweit. Der Stammsitz liegt in Durham (North Carolina) in den USA.

Das Unternehmen ist aktiv auf den Gebieten Entwicklung, Einführung und Management von Linux- und Open Source-Lösungen für Netzwerk-Infrastrukturen. Die Produktangebot reicht dabei von Embedded Systems bis zu sicheren Webservern und umfasst zusätzliche Support-, Trainings- und Managementangebote.

Am 11. August 1999 ging Red Hat mit einem Initial Public Offering von sechs Millionen Aktien zum Preis von je 14$ pro Aktie an die Börse NASDAQ. Am 15. November 1999 gab Red Hat bekannt, dass sie den Open Source Entwickler Cygnus Solutions übernehmen würden. Red Hat ist seitdem auch für Cygwin verantwortlich.

2003 beschloss Red Hat, sich zukünftig nur noch auf Firmenkunden, die den größten Teil des Red Hat-Umsatzes generieren, zu konzentrieren. Aus diesem Grund wurde die Weiterentwicklung von Red Hat Linux formell an das Community-Projekt Fedora Core abgegeben. Dabei besteht das Kernteam von Fedora weiterhin aus von Red Hat bezahlten Entwicklern, die Möglichkeit der Beteiligung durch Freiwillige ist aber wesentlich größer und umfangreicher als früher. Auf der Fedora-Codebase basiert seit dem Red Hat`s Premium-Produkt für Firmenkunden, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

geht langsam wieder runter

[Schilddruese]

+30% gestern in USA. Was mein Ihr, was dort heute passiert? Es ist Wochenende. Für uns dazu noch ein Langes. Ich glaube jede Anleger weiß, was viele Gleichgesinnte in so einer Situation bei so einer Aktie tun. Trotz der guten langfristigen Aussichten wird es wohl das Beste sein, erst einmal etwas Ruhe bei Red Hat abzuwarten und am Dienstag die Sache neu in Angriff zu nehmen. Auch die Amis müssen heute noch handeln und Korrekturpotential ist jede Menge. Auch die haben das WE vor sich.

BOSTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Concurrent Computer Corp.(CCUR.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Tuesday it has developed a software program that speeds the performance of business computers running on an operating system sold by Novell Inc. (NOVL.O: Quote, Profile, Research)

Novell and Concurrent will jointly sell and support the software starting this week, Concurrent said.

The product could boost Concurrent`s annual revenue by $10 million to $15 million, Concurrent Chief Operating Officer Warren Neuburger said in an interview.

The company subsequently issued a statement saying that it will take time for the product`s sales to ramp up. The range cited by Neuburger "is possible over time (but) it should not be taken as guidance," the statement said.

Duluth, Georgia-based Concurrent had $79 million in revenue in the fiscal year that ended in June 2005.

The new software, known as Real Time Extensions, speeds computers running on Novell`s SUSE Linux operating system when used to perform such tasks as processing financial transactions and rendering high-resolution graphics.

Concurrent already sells similar software developed to boost the speed of computers running on Linux software from Red Hat Inc. (RHAT.O: Quote, Profile, Research)

meist geht es noch eine Treppenstufe nach unten
auch steht Microsoft mit Vista an

der Grund heute war die angebliche Absicht von Oracle in den Linux-Markt einzusteigen.

zu gegebener Zeit wieder eine gute Einstiegsmöglichkeit

[cmeise]

Die Oracle / Linux Story ist uralt - neu ist (mir) die direkte Kriegserklärung. Bislang hat es mit einer Übernahme nicht geklappt und der andere Versuch von Novell, Suse vernüftig zu integrieren klappt auch nicht wirklich. Aber wenn Oracle Red Hat plattmachen will könnte es ihnen natürlich gelingen - Geld ist genug da.
Aber auch wenn Red Hat sich selbst nicht so ohne weiteres dagegen wehren könnte würde nach meiner Meinung eher jemand anders zum Zuge kommen: IBM ist da wohl erster Kandidat. Und kommt es dann zu einem Übernahmekampf müsste der Kurs erstmal wieder steigen.
Ein wiederholter Ausverkauf in so kurzer Zeit - alles vom Ausgangspunkt der nicht schlechten, aber auch nicht prächtigen QZahlen - ich finde das sehr "künstlich". Nach meiner Meinung waren die etwas schlechteren Zahlen allein durch die arbeitsintensive Integration von JBoss mehr als verständlich.
In kurzer Zeit ist Red Hat um 2 Mrd$ "preiswerter" geworden - wenn sich da mal nicht einige die Hände reiben...
Zu Microsoft + Vista: Das ist Reklame für Linux, keine Konkurrenz!

Oracle, Microsoft Engage In A Game Of Linux Chess

By Mark Boslet, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

(This article was originally published Thursday)

PALO ALTO, Calif. -(Dow Jones)- Oracle Corp. (ORCL) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) are engaging in a game of Linux chess at a time when growth of the free computer operating system is slowing.

Last week, Oracle roiled the open-source world by announcing it would provide low-cost technical support for the widely used brand of Linux licensed and supported by standard bearer Red Hat Inc. (RHAT). Thursday, Microsoft Corp. ( MSFT) is expected to announce an agreement to make its Windows run more smoothly with Novell Inc.'s (NOVL) Suse Linux.

Open-source advocates, who nurture Linux because its underlying code is freely available for use and modification, will likely watch this match with some trepidation. Many see Microsoft as the antithesis to open-source because it guards the underlying Windows code from public use, but worry Oracle may have designs on reshaping the software to its own use.

What's clear, though, is that Oracle and Microsoft moves make strategic sense. Microsoft has long battled Linux as a threat to its market-leading position in the server operating systems. However, its customers want technology to more easily run Windows alongside Linux. Its deal with the struggling Suse is a step in that direction.

For Oracle, Linux is far more integral to the company's future. Oracle's database, middleware and application software traditionally runs on powerful Unix systems but now are more commonly hosted on less expensive machines running chips from Intel Corp. or Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD). With the less expensive hardware, customers generally make a decision between the Windows or Linux operating systems.

Industry experts quickly saw Oracle's move as an abrupt challenge to Red Hat, which makes a chunk of its revenue from support contracts. Oracle's vow to charge 50% less than Red Hat could cut into that company's revenue, but it was more importantly an effort to nudge the growth rate of Linux. By expanding service options available to corporate customers, Linux becomes a safer choice for big company "datacenter" jobs where Windows is a more common choice today.

"Even people who are critical of it call it a brilliant strategic move," says Bruce Richardson, chief research officer at AMR Research. "Oracle managed to hit four targets with a single shot," Richardson said, referring not just to Red Hat, Microsoft and the open-source community but to its applications rival SAP AG (SAP), which doesn't offer the same Linux support.

"By getting Linux into the datacenter, Oracle protects its own database and middleware from being cannibalized by cheaper Microsoft products," agrees Ian Finley, an AMR research director. "What they are trying to do is inoculate the datacenter from Microsoft."

Linux Growth Slowing

The effort is taking on greater strategic important because of a changing Linux market - and because of Thursday's effort by Microsoft to fight back. However, according to market monitors at IDC, Linux's fast growth has been slowing.

The operating system made big strides over the past several years by displacing expensive Unix systems from vendors such as Sun Microsystems Inc. ( SUNW) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ). But that business isn't roaring like it used to, and the prices of running and supporting a Linux system are now comparable to Windows. In addition, improvements in Windows and its companion SQL Server 2005 database are changing the perception that Linux is more secure, more reliable and more powerful.

Because of this, "Windows is starting to moderate the Linux penetration rate," says Michelle Bailey, a research director at IDC. Last year, Linux grew just 25.4%, compared to the 45.6% growth experienced in 2003, IDC says. It held 20.7% of the server market, up from 15.6% three years ago.

In contrast, Windows server share grew 13.2% last year, but its market share was 66.3%.

Oracle's Edward Screven, chief corporate architect, says, "Overall, we'll have a larger field to play in if customers can leverage inexpensive hardware and an open-standard operating system. This is about providing customer choice."

'Forking' The System

Yet the Linux community will be watching Oracle closely wondering whether is will attempt to steer the future course of Linux development. The temptation to tailor Linux to make its database and middleware run faster will be great.

Oracle says it has not such plans, even though it will add bug-fix patches and code to replace software "libraries" Red Hat has added to the product.

Oracle has been adding software bug fixes and "binaries" to Linux for years, and Red Hat has been incorporating them, Screven said, at the same time acknowledging that the volume will increase.

So far, open-source leaders aren't sounding an alarm that Oracle may hijack Linux by tailoring it to its needs. Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux and presently a fellow at the Open Source Development Labs Inc. in Beaverton, Ore., said he is not worried about Oracle splintering Linux with a new version of the operating system.

"Not only doesn't Oracle really have any reason to try to make things act differently," but if it does "fork the tree" with its own development work, others can take the changes and add them to their version of Linux, Torvalds said in an e-mail.

And yet, the Linux community will be watching Oracle closely. The temptation to tailor Linux to makes it database and middleware run faster will be great.

"It would be a natural thing," says Diane Greene, president of EMC Corp.'s ( EMC) VMware.

Oracle's announcement was "a real stunner," Greene says. "It's a sign of this gigantic change taking place in the industry. There are going to be a lot of operating systems tailored to the application stack" of middleware and applications programs.

Oracle says it has looked over the idea, but that it is not something the company has considered as a "product." "I think there is a lot of potential in that space," says Screven. The company is simply "wondering" about it, he says.

As to how well Oracle will be accepted by the open source community, Torvalds says it is not clear yet. "I think people will take a 'wait and see' attitude," he said. "Oracle clearly has to show that it can help the community, not just itself."

But IBM is a bit more cautious. Oracle's decision to support Linux will encourage broader adoption of the operating system inside corporations, said spokesman John Charlson.

However, IBM will wait to see whether Oracle's Linux gets traction in the market before deciding whether to offer support for it. "The market will ultimately determine," says Charlson, referring to the company's 7,000 Linux consultants that presently offer support for Red Hat Linux and Suse.

Oracle's Stretch for Stability
By Bill Snyder
TheStreet.com Senior Writer

(...)
Finally, the Oracle call should hold special interest for investors in Red Hat (RHT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating), under threat from Oracle's move into the Linux arena. In October, Oracle announced that it will fully support customers running Red Hat's version of the popular Linux system. Since Red Hat's major revenue driver is selling support for a free operating system, shares of the smaller company were rocked by the news.

However, it's far from clear that Oracle's Linux venture is going well.

By and large, the buzz in the open-source community has been negative, and few sources can point to a significant number of wins for Oracle. Even though there could be a certain amount of self-serving thinking involved in statements from open-source stalwarts, Oracle's effort seems to be off to a very slow start. (...)

Upgrading Red Hat To Outperform, Raising Price Target By $2 To $27, On Potential Jboss Turnaround - Credit Suisse Comments

(RTTNews) - Tuesday, Credit Suisse analyst Jason Maynard upgraded operating systems developer Red Hat Inc. (RHT) to an Outperform rating from Neutral rating, and raised his price target on the stock to $27 from $25.

In a research note, analyst Maynard said that the company stands to benefit as its JBoss business unit improves. Last year, the company acquired JBoss, a technology company that develops software and applications for businesses.

The brokerage said its own field checks suggest that bookings/billings growth should remain healthy and could accelerate in the second half of the year, as field execution and the JBoss business unit improves.

Red Hat is trying to charge subscriptions for some of JBoss' products. Analyst Maynard expects JBoss billings to show a marked improvement in fiscal 2007 and sees the new licensing model as a promising move by Red Hat to monetize the JBoss installed base. The analyst said the model could be a positive catalyst to the stock, if the company can build on its early efforts.

RHT added 72 cents or 3.2% to $23.25 in Tuesday's early trading, after closing Monday's trade at $22.53.

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Specsavers, the UK's most trusted optician, is migrating all of its servers, desktops and tills from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in its 830 stores in the UK, Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Spain. Specsavers selected Red Hat solutions for its Linux open standard strategy because they enabled the company to standardize applications on a Java platform without vendor lock-in. Since migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Specsavers has experienced a stable and future-proof platform, in addition to enjoying a reduced need for maintenance and increased reliability.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux was selected to run Specsavers' store application, SOCRATES 7, which previously ran on Microsoft Windows 2000. Specsavers chose Red Hat solutions for superior performance, reliability and security at a significantly reduced cost in comparison to proprietary solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is running on an Intel platform on Fujitsu Siemens hardware for both servers and store desktops.

Einschätzungen kurz VOR den Quartalszahlen:

Foolish Forecast: Red Hat Is Hot -- By Anders Bylund June 26, 2007
What analysts say:
(...)
#
Revenues. $117.1 million would be enough for the mean analyst. No, not the guy in the corner with the crazy peepers -- the statistical mean. That would be 39% above the $84 million of sales from the year-ago quarter.
#
Earnings. The average forecast calls for $0.15 per share, up from last year's $0.13 per share.
(...)
Red Hat spent a lot of money on infrastructure over the past few quarters. The R&D and sales budgets both increased more than 70%, far outpacing revenue growth, so there's your operational margin hit. The bottom line was further depressed by far higher tax provisions than the year before.
(...)
Two quarters ago, a barrage of rather direct business attacks from Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL), and Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) was met with a cold shoulder from Red Hat. Management said then that the mere fact that such large and established software companies felt the need to do the bombing runs over North Carolina was a testament to how effective its strategy is.
And as we've already seen, Red Hat proceeded to beef up its operations rather than backing away from the challenge. Walk the walk, so to speak. And the revenue growth trend doesn't show any signs of slowing down. So the industry giants haven't put a dent in Red Hat yet, despite their best efforts.
As I keep saying whenever Novell comes up in conversation, Linux isn't going away and you really can make a fortune selling open source software for essentially nothing. The trick is to follow up with a sterling service department and a few value-added subscription products, which is exactly what Red Hat has done. Expect the gravy train to keep rolling, right through the enemy fire.

Jahresendrallye ist heute gestartet. Red Hat nimmt wieder Fahrt Richtung 30 Dollar auf.

[Cichla]

Dürfen uns auf schöne Jahresendrallye freuen. Red Hat am Freitag plus 11 Prozent, gestern plus 2 Prozent. Top-Zahlen und neuer Vorstand: Jetzt kommt nicht nur Red hat richtig in Fahrt:

New York (BoerseGo.de) - Na also, geht doch. Die Investoren bekamen doch noch ihre Weihnachts-Rallye. Zwei Anlässe gab es heute dafür: Das Wall Street Journal berichtete, dass der - wegen der Immobilienkrise etwas angeschlagene - Großbroker Merrill Lynch eine Kapitalspritze aus Singapur erhält. Danach kauft sich wieder einmal ein Staatsfonds aus dem fernen oder nahen Osten in einen westlichen Konzern ein - der neue Trend. In den vergangenen Wochen hatten sich bereits Staatsfonds aus Singapur, China und Abu Dhabi jeweils an der UBS, Morgan Stanley und der Citigroup beteiligt. Das führt dem Markt nicht nur neues Geld zu, sondern stärkt auch das Vertrauen.

Für Vertrauen sorgte auch der BlackBerry-Hersteller Research in Motion, der gestern nach Börsenschluss mit einem steilen Gewinnwachstum und sehr optimistischen Ausblick beeindruckte. Bereits am Vortag hatte der Datenbankriese Oracle glänzende Zahlen präsentiert. Damit wischten die beiden Technologiegrößen die Ängste vom Tisch, dass die Krise bei den Banken und Hausbauern die breite Wirtschaft infiziert hat. Wie robust die US-Wirtschaft tatsächlich ist, zeigen auch die Verbraucherausgaben. Kurz vor Börsenstart wurde gemeldet, dass die US-Konsumenten ihre Ausgaben im November um 1,1% gesteigert hatten - so stark wie seit 2 Jahren nicht mehr. Die Erleichterung darüber, dass die von den Pessimisten an die Wand gemalte Rezession nicht stattfindet, schob die überfällige Rallye auf breiter Ebene an. Gefragt waren besonders konjunktursensible Titel.

An der New York Stock Exchange übertraf die Zahl der Gewinner die Verlierer im Verhältnis 3:1. Der Dow Jones Industrial Average stieg 1,55% auf 13.450,65 Punkte, der S&P 500 gewann 1,67% auf 1.484,46 Punkte, der technologielastige Nasdaq Composite Index kletterte 1.94% auf 2.691,99 Punkte, der Russell 2000 Index, der kleinere Unternehmen erfasst (Small Caps), sprang 2.35% auf 785,60 Zähler.


Auch im Vergleich zur Vorwoche gab es Gewinne: Dow plus 0,83%, S&P 500 plus 1,12 % und der Nasdaq Composite plus 2,13%. Der konjunkturempfindliche Russell 2000 hüpfte sogar 4.20%.

Red Hat To Join Prestigious S&P 500 Index - Stocks To Watch


(RTTNews) - Red Hat Inc. (RHT) is joining the prestigious S&P 500 index after the close of trading on Friday, July 24. The S&P is knocking off the beleaguered CIT Group Inc. (CIT) from its 500 list, filling the slot with the open source software provider.

The world's largest provider of Linux software beat earnings estimates in the recent first quarter by 7.1%. Red Hat has weathered the recession somewhat because it sells subscriptions to maintenance contracts for the Linux software, locking in users for multiple years.

Operating margin, excluding items, for the first quarter rose to 23.4% from 21.8% last year. The company has been benefitting under the scrutiny of its cost-conscious CEO -- James Whitehurst -- who has helped improve profitability.

The stock of any company entering the S&P 500 may rise, as investors tracking the index will have to buy shares of the company. The move to the S&P 500 also tends to increase a stock's visibility. Institutional investors currently own 93.9% of the Red Hat's outstanding float.

Red Hat Q2 Profit Rises - Update

(RTTNews) - Open source solutions provider Red Hat Inc. (RHT), Wednesday said its second quarter profit increased from last year, driven by continuing demand for its source products, and strong performance across all of its key metrics. Following the news, the company's shares gained more than 3% in the after-hours trading.

The Raleigh, North Carolina-based company posted GAAP net income of $28.9 million or $0.15 per share for the second quarter, up from $21.1 million or $0.10 per share in the prior year quarter.

Excluding items, non-GAAP adjusted net income rose to $39.4 million or $0.20 per share from $30.1 million or $0.14 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP net income for the quarter include a discrete tax benefit of $7.3 million, adding about $0.04 per share. Excluding this tax benefit, GAAP earnings would have been $0.11 per share, and non-GAAP earnings would have been $0.16 per share for the latest quarter.

On average, 23 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report earnings of $0.15 per share for the second quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

Operating income for the quarter grew by 29% to $27.5 million from $21.4 million in the previous year quarter. After adjusting for stock compensation and amortization expenses, non-GAAP operating income was $43.6 million, up 21% year-over-year.

Second quarter total revenue increased 12% to $183.6 million from $164.4 million in the same quarter last year. Twenty-one analysts had a consensus revenue estimate of $179.10 million for the second quarter.

Jim Whitehurst, president and chief executive officer of Red Hat, said, "IT organizations continue to move ahead with purchases of high value solutions, and Red Hat is capitalizing on this demand as a result of our strong customer relationships and proven value proposition. These factors contributed to our better than expected total revenue in the second quarter, and drove annual subscription revenue growth of 15% for both the quarter and first half of fiscal year 2010."

Subscription revenue rose 15% to $156.3 million, while training and services revenue fell 4.6% to $27.4 million over a year earlier.

Total operating expense for the second quarter grew to $127.7 million from $115.5 million in the prior year quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the company's total deferred revenue balance increased 17% to $580.9 million.

During the quarter, Red Hat repurchased $47 million of its common stock or 2.3 million shares of its common stock. Total cash, cash equivalents and investments as of August 31, 2009 were $911.8 million.

Also, in the quarter, Red Hat became the newest component to be added in the S&P 500, which is considered to be the bellwether stock market index.

For the first half of fiscal year 2010, Red Hat reported net income of $47.5 million or $0.25 per share, compared to $40.2 million or $0.18 per share in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income grew to $68.1 million or $0.35 per share from $57.9 million or $0.26 per share in the prior year period.

Total revenue for the period increased to $358.0 million from $321.0 million in the previous year period.

Last month, Red Hat's rival, Waltham, Massachusetts-based Novell Inc. (NOVL) reported a profit for the third quarter, as the company cut its operating expenses significantly. Looking ahead, Novell, which is world's second largest seller of Linux software, said it continues to see double-digit non-GAAP operating margins for the full fiscal year 2009, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Deferred Revenue of $619 million, up 23% year-over-year
Repurchased $52.3 million, or 1.9 million shares, of common stock

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 22, 2009--Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2010 third quarter ended November 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the quarter was $194.3 million, an increase of 18% from the year ago quarter. Subscription revenue for the quarter was $164.4 million, up 21% year-over-year.

“Continued solid execution drove another quarter of strong results for Red Hat. Our double digit growth in the current economic environment was driven by our compelling value proposition and outstanding service. Our customer focus has clearly differentiated us from the competition. Red Hat was recently ranked as #1 among software vendors by IT executives for the fifth time in six years in the Ziff Davis CIO Insight Study, with the highest marks for reliability and value,” stated Jim Whitehurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Hat. “We also continued to introduce new products, including the November release of RHEV that advances our position in server virtualization and cloud computing. RHEV provides customers the choice of a high-value, low cost, open management solution that was not previously available in the $2 billion virtualization market.”

GAAP operating income for the quarter was $19.8 million, including a previously announced charge of $8.8 million for a litigation settlement, compared to $21.0 million in the year ago quarter. After adjusting for stock compensation, amortization expenses and the charge for the litigation settlement as detailed in the tables below, non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $46.1 million, up 20% year-over-year. GAAP operating margin was 10.2%. Non-GAAP operating margin was 23.7%, up 50 basis points from the year ago quarter.

GAAP net income for the quarter was $16.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $24.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter. The current quarter GAAP net income was reduced by $0.03 per diluted share due to the charge for the litigation settlement. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the quarter was $33.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, after adjusting for stock compensation, amortization expenses and the charge for the litigation settlement as detailed in the tables below, as compared to $36.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter.

Operating cash flow totaled $54.1 million, compared to $59.1 million from the year ago quarter. Due to record billings, accounts receivable increased $24 million compared to last year even as days sales outstanding (DSO) improved to 54 days compared to 59 days last year. At November 30, the company’s total deferred revenue balance was $618.7 million, an increase of 23% on a year-over-year basis. Total cash, cash equivalents and investments as of November 30, 2009 were $959.1 million after repurchasing $52.3 million, or 1.9 million shares, of common stock.

“Strong bookings, particularly in North America, led to strong billings and greater than 20% growth in subscription revenue and deferred revenue, as well as further improvement of non-GAAP operating margins,” stated Charlie Peters, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Red Hat. “This type of consistent performance, combined with our strong balance sheet, led to our third debt rating upgrade in 20 months by Standard and Poors rating agency.”

Quartalszahlen, Open SourceDietmar Müller |Mittwoch, 23. Dezember 2009, 13:26 UhrEmpfehlenDruckenTrackbackBookmarkKommentar verfassen Red Hat hat die Ergebnisse seines dritten Quartals des Geschäftsjahres 2010 bekannt gegeben. Dieses war am 30. November 2009 zu Ende gegangen.

Der Umsatz betrug 194,3 Millionen Dollar und lag damit um 18 Prozent höher als im Vorjahresquartal. Auf die Software-Subskriptionen entfielen 164,4 Millionen Dollar, das entspricht einem Anstieg um 21 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum.

Jim Whitehurst, CEO von Red Hat, und Charlie Peters, Executive Vice President und Chief Financial Officer von Red Hat, bejubelten das Umsatzwachstum. Gleichzeitig versuchten sie den gesunkenen Gewinn unter den Teppich zu kehren: Das Nettoergebnis sank nämlich auf 16,4 Millionen Dollar beziehungsweise 8 Cents je Aktie. Vor einem Jahr hatte man noch 24,3 Millionen Dollar oder 12 Cents je Anteilscheinausweisen können.

Allerdings: Ohne Berücksichtigung von Sondereffekten lag das aktuelle Nettoergebnis bei 33,5 Millionen Dollar (17 Cents je Aktie).

Whitehurst rechnet mit Bezug auf Analysten für das laufende Quartal mit einem Nettogewinn von 16 Cents sowie einem Umsatz von 190,39 Millionen Dollar. Für das Gesamtjahr würde dies für Red Hat einen Gewinn von 67 Cent pro Aktie sowie einen Umsatz von 736,48 Millionen Dollar bedeuten.

Wall Street im Plus erwartet - Red Hat und Micron gesucht
DJ Wall Street im Plus erwartet - Red Hat und Micron gesucht

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Nach den Kursavancen des Dienstag signalisieren die Futures auf bedeutende US-Aktienindizes auch zur Wochenmitte einen etwas festeren Start an Wall Street. Bis 14.25 Uhr MEZ steigt der Future auf den S&P-500-Index um 0,4%, für den Future auf den Nasdaq-100-Index geht es um 0,3% nach oben. "Fundamentale Gründe für die weiter anziehenden Notierungen gibt es gerade angesichts des abermals zum Euro gestiegenen Dollar aber kaum", sagt ein Händler. Vielmehr müssten die Kursgewinne vor dem Hintergrund der weiter ausdünnenden Liquidität unter der Rubrik "Jahresend-Rally" abgebucht werden.

Für neue Impulse dürften die im Verlauf der Sitzung erwarteten Konjunkturdaten sorgen. Schließlich stehen mit den Neubauverkäufen für November und der zweiten Umfrage der Uni Michigan zur Stimmung der US-Verbraucher im Dezember gleich zwei makroökonomische Schwergewichte auf der Agenda. Darüber hinaus sind die wöchentlichen Daten zu den Rohöllagerbeständen in den USA avisiert. Deutlichere Abweichungen von der Konsenserwartung beeinflussen in der Regel die Kurse von Exxon Mobil und Chevron.

Mit Blick auf die Neubauverkäufe erwarten Volkswirte im Mittel ihrer Prognosen einen Rückgang um 1,2% gegenüber dem Vormonat. Allerdings war im Oktober auch ein Anstieg um 6,2% zu verzeichnen gewesen. Hinsichtlich der Umfrage zum Verbrauchervertrauen rechnen die Ökonomen mit einem Indexstand von 73,5 Punkten. Die erste Erhebung für Dezember hatte 73,4 Punkte hervorgebracht, anlässlich der zweiten Umfrage für November waren es 67,4 Punkte gewesen.

Da der Private Konsum traditionell den Löwenanteil zur Wirtschaftsleistung der USA beiträgt, kommt der Stimmung der Verbraucher eine große Bedeutung zu. Allerdings verweisen viele Volkswirte auch darauf, dass die Korrelation zwischen solchen Sentiment-Erhebungen und dem tatsächlichen Privaten Verbrauch nicht sonderlich hoch ist.

Unter den Einzelwerten dürften am Mittwoch unter anderem Red Hat im Fokus der Anleger stehen. Der Linux-Distributor hat am Vortag für das abgelaufene Vierteljahr einen Gewinn vor außerordentlichen Posten von 0,17 USD je Aktie ausgewiesen. Analysten hatten im Mittel ihrer Prognosen mit einem Cent weniger gerechnet. Auch der Umsatz lag mit 194,3 Mio USD über de Konsenserwartung von 188,3 Mio USD. Im vorbörslichen Geschäft steigen Red Hat um 6,8%.

Micron Technology rücken um 3,2% vor. Am Vortag hatte der Halbleiter-Hersteller für das zurückliegende Quartal den ersten Gewinn seit drei Jahren ausgewiesen. Noch dazu lag das Ergebnis mit 0,23 USD je Aktie klar über den Erwartungen der Analysten, die lediglich mit 0,06 USD je Aktie gerechnet hatten. Auch der Umsatz des US-DRAM-Herstellers lag mit 1,7 Mrd USD über der Konsensprognose von 1,6 Mrd USD.

Positive US-Immobiliendaten zogen am Dienstag die Notierungen an Wall Street nach oben. Der Dow-Jones-Index für 30 Industriewerte stieg um 0,5% oder 51 Punkte auf 10.465. Für den S&P-500-Index ging es um 0,4% oder 4 Punkte auf 1.118 nach oben. Der Index markierte bei 1.120,27 Punkten ein neues Jahreshoch. Auch der Nasdaq-Composite-Index stieg im Tagesverlauf auf das neue Jahreshoch von 2.253,73 Punkten, verglichen mit dem Vortagsschluss rückte der Index um 0,7% oder 15 Punkte auf 2.253 vor.

(RTTNews) - Open source solutions provider Red Hat Inc. (RHT), said Tuesday its first-quarter profit increased 30% over last year, on higher number of large deals booked. On an adjusted basis, quarterly earnings met analysts' expectations, while revenues surpassed Street view.

Excluding items, non-GAAP net income grew to $35.6 million or $0.18 per share from $28.7 million or $0.15 per share in the year-ago quarter. On average, 24 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report earnings of $0.18 per share for the first quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

GAAP operating income was $34.2 million, or a 16.4% operating margin for the first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income rose 28% to $52.0 million, and operating margin improved 140 basis points to 24.8% from a year earlier.

First quarter total revenue increased 20% to $209.1 million from $174.4 million in the same quarter last year. Twenty-two analysts had a consensus revenue estimate of $202.89 million for the first quarter.

Charlie Peters, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Red Hat, said, "Our business was strong with healthy subscription renewals, large deals, continued progress in our "free to paid" initiative and strong growth in our services business. We continued to invest in our growth, in both engineering and sales, and it is paying off."

Subscription revenue grew 20% to $179.1 million, while training and services revenue rose 17.5% to $30.1 million in the corresponding quarter of last year.

Total operating expense for the first quarter increased to $141.7 million from $122.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Red Hat's peer, Waltham, Massachusetts-based Novell Inc. (NOVL) reported a second-quarter profit that increased 25% from last year, despite lower revenues. Adjusted earnings for the quarter declined from last year, reflecting weak performances in all segments. Looking ahead, the company provided its revenue outlook for the third quarter, which was below that indicated by the Street analysts.

The comprehensive portfolio that Red Hat has developed with platform, virtualization and middleware products provides enterprise customers with a foundation to deploy the next generation infrastructure.”

GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2011 was $39.4 million and $145.7 million, respectively.

“Our fourth quarter results were strong and capped off a year of accelerated billings growth.

These investments produced greater than 20% growth in revenues and non-GAAP operating income for both the quarter and the year. At the same time, we increased non-GAAP operating margins by 110 basis points and improved cash flow. It was a good year.”

Guten Morgen,

entgegen den meisten Analystenvoraussagen, die Red Hat in den vergangenen Tagen schon in der Weise empfohlen haben, dass ich mich an Marktschreier erinnert habe, gab es vom zweiten Top mit -4,5% jetzt einen herben Rücksetzer. Auch wenn ich jetzt Wasser in die Partybowle schütte, doch man sollte sich klar darüber werden, dass die Aktie von Red Hat ein Bewertungsniveau erreicht hat, mit dem der Kurs der fundamentalen Basis im Vergleich zu den Konkurrenten etwa fünf Jahre voraus gelaufen ist. So überragend und konkurrenzlos ist das Produkt dann aber doch nicht.
