Bank Of America Investment "Many of our customers are moving towards a Linux solution as an alternative to current Unix platforms," said Jonathan Lewis, vice president, Innovation and Marketing for Halliburton's Digital and Consulting Solutions division. "Landmark chose to align with the market leader, Red Hat, because of its commitment to the Open Source community and its relationship with commercial OEM hardware and ISV organizations. This investment assures that we can move with them in an open, flexible fashion."
"Using Red Hat Network with Provisioning in our "Workflow on Demand" services center allows Landmark to deliver ultra-fast, mutli-compute node scalability at a relatively low cost to our customers," Lewis added.
