desktop for user productivity.
With this advanced platform, customers would be able to greatly reduce the

This helps customers to shift their investment away from costly
infrastructure and back into their business. "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

features, extensive new hardware support, expanded development environment and
toolset, improved interoperability with Microsoft Windows and Unix.

advanced platform, systems management, provisioning, high availability, identity

for small and one for large datacenters.

Oracle, Sybase, MySQL EnterpriseDB, DB2 and others) to deliver all the
reliability of clustered database systems, at savings of $200,000 or more per
database, compared to the cost of the leading clustered database system.
- The Red Hat High Performance Computing Solution -enables users to solve
difficult computational problems quickly and deliver increased profit and
