Dell and Red Hat, Inc. have announced an agreement to produce Dell and Red Hat hardware/software solutions for IT manufacturers worldwide. The Dell OEM Solutions group will offer flexible, integrated systems based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat JBoss Middleware Solutions.
Dell’s OEM Partner Program is designed to be a customizable, one-stop shop for manufacturers. The program is organized into OEM Channel Partners and OEM Solution Partners and includes various levels and types of partnerships that tailor support according to customer needs.
