According to the comprehensive news, Red Hat officially launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL), an Enterprise-class Linux product in San Francisco in March 14. This is the first time that Red Hat has made a major upgrade to its flagship Linux product in more than two years.

RedHat said that the new version of Linux was developed in collaboration with the customer over two years. In addition to helping users Reduce software purchase and management costs, it will also be helpful in terms of services, system management, and partnerships.

Although RedHat still leads the entire Linux market, the market situation has changed a lot. To better compete with RedHat, Novell has introduced Xen virtual software in its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system. Compared with earlier versions, Redhat's new Linux version features Xen virtual technology. Red Hat allows up to five virtual computers to run RHEL 5 servers, but the company also launched a new RHEL Advanced Platform that supports Unlimited virtual computers, including the company's Global File System software.

At present, RedHat is still the world's largest Linux software provider. In the third quarter of last year, the company's revenue was $0.105 billion, a year-on-year increase of 45%, still occupying the largest share of the global Linux market revenue and shipments. However, RedHat also encountered a strong challenge from Novell and Oracle. The new version of Linux will increase the competitive chip for Redhat.

Analyst comment: rivin zarari, an analyst at the 451 group of market research institutions, said that there are more and more Linux versions in the market, and the competition between manufacturers is becoming increasingly fierce. This situation will continue for many years, however, over time, the difference between the Red Hat Linux operating system and other products will become smaller and smaller.
