Major Gains for Red Hat Demands Increased Commitment from Partners

52

In line with Red Hat’s 25% revenue growth this year, LinuxIT Europehas seen a massive increase in demand for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In a difficult economy there has been a surge in spending on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and associated professional services; and there is no sign of it abating.

The UK-based company expects its 21 Red Hat certifications to further strengthen its position at the forefront of the Linux services market, by offering only Linux engineers of the highest skill and competency.

Red Hat’s RHCEcertification provides rigorous and meaningful proof of skills and talent in the delivery of Linux support and services. Now, with over 50% of LinuxIT’s engineers working with Red Hat on a daily basis, the addition of Red Hat certifications to their existing Linux Professional Institute (LPI) and UNIX qualifications is vital.

Red Hat’s compelling proposition demands an ecosystem of professional partners. “Well trained employees produce fewer errors”, says Mark Reynolds, Professional Services Manager at LinuxIT, “and it is the delivery of consistently high quality Linux services that has set LinuxIT apart from the competition over the past 10 years”.
