Red Hat
receives overall
‘positive’ rating
in Gartner’s
vendor rating
Egyptian business
recognised by Aruba for
its sales performance
Red Hat Inc, a leading provider of open
source solutions, has announced Gartner Inc,
a leading provider of research and analysis on
the global information technology industry,
has given the company an overall ‘positive’
rating in its 2018 Vendor Rating Report.
From Red Hat’s perspective, the overall
‘positive’ rating reflects on the strength
of the company’s open hybrid cloud
portfolio, container-based technologies and
datacentre automation, as well as its ability
to meet customers’ needs as they modernise
IT systems with flexible and agile open
source solutions.
Gartner vendor ratings assess many different
aspects of a technology provider, such as
its products, support, pricing, technology,
strategy and financials. These ratings are
periodically revised to reflect changes in
assessment when a significant internal or
external event directly affects the provider.
Craig Muzilla, senior vice president,
Application Platform Businesses and Portfolio
Programs, Red Hat, said: “We believe that
Gartner giving us an overall ‘positive’
rating again demonstrates the growing
preference for open source solutions in the
enterprise and the leadership position we’ve
achieved in technology leading business
transformation like cloud computing,
containers, big data and mobile.”
This is the fourth consecutive time Red Hat
has received a ‘positive’ rating from Gartner.
