HP Backs Red Hat in Government Biz Bid

When it comes to big enterprise IT deployments in the U.S., there is no enterprise bigger than the federal government itself. Linux vendor Red Hat is hoping for a larger portion of the government’s multi-billion dollar IT spending with its widest-ever array of security certifications, thanks to assistance from HP.

HP today released new Multi-Level Security (MLS) Services for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 in support of the open source OS vendor’s government push.
