Making Perfect Sense!
So what's next for Red Hat? An article appearing in InfoWorld last month suggests the next step for Red Hat is to acquire a company with either, a database or an IDE development tool, to push further up their IT solution stack, and penetrate further into enterprises who are looking to implement SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).
Does it make sense to buy a database? Ummm, probably not at this point, but if they lost traction and relationship status with the likes of IBM and Oracle you could see such a move. But an IDE development tool might be more likely. Genuitec and its MyEclipse now becomes a real possibility for Red Hat, though SOA is non-language specific, this is a great move to support developers on the back end of the stack.
Like the Jboss acquisition, going after Genuitec, would put a possible strain on Red Hat's relationship with IBM. It will be interesting to see what happens towards the end of summer or fall of this year.
