Red Hat was founded in 1994 by visionary entrepreneurs Bob Young and Mark Ewing.
Open source is the foundation of our business model.
It represents a fundamental shift in how software is created. The code that makes up the software is available to anyone. Developers who use the software are free to improve the software. Red Hat solutions combine Red Hat Linux, developer and embedded technologies, training, management services, technical support. We deliver this open source innovation to our customers via an Internet platform called Red Hat Network.
