[Said.com] "Varbusiness" magazine issued a comment stated that with the development of open resource software, the Red Hat of the Waving the Linux flag announced its strong second quarter financial report in the outside world. The entire enterprise software market shows a low state trend, and the red hat has created a good industry, while statistics show that the company is now the next goal to align a higher yield.
Red Hat Company has announced the second quarter of the company's earnings report, and the report data will be full of the current situation of the company - the entire open resource software is roughly the same, and the red hat company has been significantly improved in this quarter, but It still needs to prove to the entire market, the status of it now is completely reflected, especially to those partners of SMB channels.
The company's report showed that the second quarter of the 2005 fiscal year reached $ 46.3 million, rising almost sixty percentage points from the same period last year, and raised 11 percentage points in the first quarter of this year. The company's net income reached 11.8 million US dollars, equipped with 6 cents per share, raised nearly 225% more than a year, an increase of 8% higher than the first quarter.

At the same time, the company's Red Hat Linux Enterprise Software has reached 144,000, including 115,000 business IT server version sales, the latter mainly consisting of three parts, new users, users need to update the service users and 290 million HPC desktop markets user.
Red Hat is actively conducting its own market partner expansion project, and now the company's main partner list includes many large OEMs and ISV companies, such as BEA, Oracle, HP, IBM Dell, Fujitsu, Sybase, Veritas, and more.
The latest join is Unisys, which has signed an agreement with Red Hat in August this year - installs the Linux operating system of Red Hat's compatible server products in its latest ES7000 Enterprise Server. (At the same time, Unisys also uses Novell's SUSE version Linux as the operating system of its server products.)
"Until, we still did not find a suitable version of Linux operating system. And it expressed a strong confidence in the prospects of the Red Hat Company.
"Red Hat is undoubtedly a very excellent partner," Delik is said, "he is still another situation two years ago, everything is unpredictable, but the turn is over, we are now in many fields now. Both became a tacit partner. "

Red Hat's second quarter of the company's purchase camp is approximately $ 33.9 million, which is much lower than before UBS expectations, and on the other hand, UBS also pointed out that the management of Red Hat has not been outside. Discloses any news about the average price of the company.
A report showed that UBS's evaluation of Red Hat in the stock market was changed from "Buying" to "hold", but another Wall Street's investigation company JMP securities still gave Red Hat stock with "extraction" evaluation, he It is believed that Red Hat Company's reservation is mainly considering the press conference held in New York on September 30, while UBS's concern is mainly from the new CFO Charlie Peter, the latter is just right. At present, the status of Red Hat is in the entire enterprise software market. Many software companies in the market have made great interest in investors in the near future, and they only have to achieve sales after their efforts to expand their partners to increase their sales. At the same time, with the opening of the open resource Linux step development, copyright, etc., the problem that plague its development will get the corresponding solution, and maybe the Linux will become a lot of old brigades in the enterprise software.
"From the current situation, Red Hat has given major partners to those large companies, and a President of Toronto's Linux Software Company Starnix said.
