Just out of curiosity; I have moved from IT management to consulting and design. I haven't been running production systems directly for the last 3 years.
What is Red hat doing to support this many employees?
Who is using Red Hat most? When I was at Lockheed, I was deploying CENTOS - as well as at other startups. I also used Ubuntu in a number of cases.
Are extreme scale companies, such as Google Facebook and Amazon not using their own custom builds?
I just can't figure out what that additional 1,000 employees would be doing.
EDIT: Ok after reading that article, and a few others; they are going for a big cloud push. With the acquisition on Gluster, it would appear that rolling native cloud-specific features into their offering makes it a strong candidate for cloud infrastructure on which others build their business and services.
I can also imagine that with the federal cloud strategy, where they see the ability to shift several billion in annual spending on systems to cloud based services, that redhat will be selling to those who are trying for that federal business.
