Red Hat: Microsoft, Ubuntu no competition in the high end
Red Hat is not losing any sleep over Microsoft's impending entry into the cluster computing space.
In an interview with ZDNet Asia, Shane Owenby, Red Hat's regional manager for Southeast Asia, said that Microsoft would find it hard to gain popularity among the cluster computing user base.
"They're playing catch-up," he said. "Linux is often associated with high-performance computing, but Windows has never achieved that on a large scale."
Asked about the threat from the latest release of Ubuntu Linux, which marks the distribution's foray into the enterprise Linux space, Crenshaw said: "Their user base is still small, so we're not seeing the impact of it [Ubuntu] so far."
