Our third-annual Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) of the Year contest has officially kicked off – more details here. The contest is designed to recognize achievements of RHCEs from around the world who have particularly interesting or motivational success stories. Submissions are simply a response to the question, “why should you be considered RHCE of the Year?”
In the past, we’ve honored RHCEs from North America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA, but this year, we’ve expanded the contest to include two additional regions: South America and India. One winner will be selected from each of the five regions. The prize? A round-trip ticket to the Red Hat Summit – this year it’s in Boston, Mass. from June 18-20. We’ll have a special RHCE reception at the Summit, where our winners are presented to other Red Hat certified professionals, and then our winners will again be noticed during the Red Hat Innovation Awards ceremony on the last day of the event.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was released almost a year ago, in March 2007. Our customer response has been overwhelmingly positive; it has been a catalyst for more and more companies to adopt open source infrastructure. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is the core of our Linux Automation architecture, which delivers major gains in operational efficiency, capital expense reduction and operating expense reduction. This expands the value which open source provides by an order of magnitude.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 has gained some industry awards, from organizations with interesting and important viewpoints.
In January, it was recognized as SearchEnterpriseLinux.com’s “Product of the Year” in the Linux Server Distributions category.
This month, Datamation announced its 2008 Product of the Year winners and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 received the most votes in the Enterprise Linux category. Datamation’s picks were selected by its readers, which are made up of IT professionals from across the industry, and we’re pleased to be picked as an outstanding product by this experienced crowd.

Some also came to be recognized for their impressive and unique implementations of JBoss solutions through the second-annual JBoss Innovation Awards.

Last week, Forbes recognized Red Hat on its list of the top 25 fastest-growing technology companies in America. Forbes’ sixth-annual list includes a broad spectrum of companies from biotech to aerospace, and recognizes seven software-related companies. Red Hat made the list this year for the first time and was ranked eleventh overall. Other top names in technology on the list include Google, ranked first overall, and SalesForce.com, ranked second.
The list may be published annually, but the criteria for inclusion is based on a long horizon of performance and the delivery of solid results that reflect hard work over the years. The criteria for Forbes’ list mainly focused on sales growth, profitability, growth outlook and the lack of legal, accounting or corporate governance issues.

Red Hat is headquarted in North Carolina where the state motto is “Esse quam videri.” In Latin it means “To be, rather than to seem.” Loosely translated, it comes down to something like “Walk the walk.”
CIO Insight Magazine’s latest “Vendor Value” study ranks Red Hat as the most-valuable Enterprise Software Vendor for the fourth consecutive year, and best overall IT Vendor for the third time in four years. Ninety-seven percent of our customers said they would choose to continue to do business with us. With that kind of customer loyalty, Red Hat topped a list that included Google, Microsoft, Oracle, HP and Apple. We didn’t just outperform our competitors, we outperformed everyone. Not bad for a company with less than 2,500 employees.
