RedHat is developing rapidly thanks to the evolving platform and infrastructure technologies around Linux and cloud. RedHat announced that it had completed its financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal year September 21 in 2016, surpassing expectations again.

In the first quarter, Redhat's revenue was $0.5 billion, a 13% year-on-year increase from last year. Net income is $5, 2015, and more than $ in the second quarter of fiscal year.

Looking forward to the future, RedHat provides positive targets for the next quarter and the year. For the third quarter, RedHat hopes that the guiding revenue could be between $0.5 billion million and $0.5 billion million, up 15% from the same period last year.

For fiscal year 2016, Redhat's Annual Guidance target was $2 billion million, an increase of 14% compared with last year.

Red Hat CFO Frank Calderoni pointed out at a conference call that the top 30 orders for Red Hat were about to exceed $1 million. Four Orders exceed $5 million, and the other orders exceed $1 million.

In recent years, cross-selling of Red Hat products has been very successful. more than 65% of all orders include one or more Red Hat applications and new technology product components.

"We want these technologies, such as middleware, RHEL OpenStack platform, OpenShift, cloud management, and storage, to continuously drive revenue growth," Calderoni said ."

 

OpenStack

During the conference call, Red Hat CEO Jim whitehust repeatedly asked about the expected revenue of OpenStack. The recently released Red Hat OpenStack Platform 7.0 has taken a big step forward, thanks to improvements to the installation program, whitehirst said.

"It works well in identifying hardware and using it, and of course it also means that there is still much work to do to make it easier for hardware to identify and use them correctly ."

He said he has begun to notice that many production applications are migrating to the OpenStack cloud. He also warned that most of the migration to OpenStack from industrialization is just an early adopters and has not yet become the mainstream.

For competitors, whitehust mentioned Microsoft, HP and Mirantis in particular. In his view, many organizations still use multiple operating systems. If some of them use Microsoft products, they prefer open-source solutions as an alternative. He said he hasn't seen much face-to-face competition with HP on the cloud side, but does.

"We have also won several victories, and our customers have switched from Mirantis to RHEL," whitehirst said ."
