Linux distributor
Interactive
Ideas has kicked off a reseller recruitment and education drive on behalf of
Red Hat following the launch of the vendor’s Linux Enterprise 5 product.
Interactive Ideas is aiming to add to the 350 corporate resellers and specialist
boutiques already on
its books by recruiting between 50 and 100 mid-sized VARs yet to embrace Linux.
To support the expansion, the distributor has now launched SimplyRedHat.com, a
microsite designed to educate resellers about how to implement Linux Enterprise
5 at end user organisations.
Mike Trup, managing director of Interactive Ideas, said: “More customers are
deploying Linux somewhere in the enterprise, yet there are still a good number
of VARs that only have Windows skills.”
Peter Dawes-Huish, chief executive of VAR
LinuxIT,
agreed that the market is growing. “The Linux market has grown 40 per cent in
the past year, but the main reason for this is its adoption into the datacentre
as a replacement for Unix,” he said.
