Opennet will use the opportunity to meet its existing channel partners and customers to update them on new products and technology available from Red Hat including JBoss, RHEL 5.0 and Red Hat Exchange (RHX).
"Gitex is a very important time on our calendar (like any serious IT company in the region) and we use this opportunity to invite our partners and customers from around the region to meet the visiting VIPs from Red Hat," said David Allinson, general manager, Opennet MEA. "Open Source is fast gaining momentum in the Enterprise Computing space and the launch of RHEL 5.0, RHX and JBoss applications just puts us ahead of our competition in positioning Red Hat as the Open Source leader in the Middle East."
Opennet (representing Red Hat) will also be participating in a special debate, Build or Buy being organized by Dubai World Trade Centre. The debate that will be held on 9th September (day 2) is aimed at discussing the pros and cons of corporate organizations developing their own software and will involve some of the leading software vendors and IT developers around the region. These are part of the new Gitex conferences being introduced this year.
Opennet will also have its trainers and certified professionals available for consultancy on the company's Red Hat training and certification courses and professional services.
