Vendor Ratings define Gartner's position on an individual vendor as a whole, not just on its position within a single market.
- (1888PressRelease) February 10, 2015 - DUBAI, UAE - Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry, has given the company a "Positive" rating in its first Vendor Rating*. Gartner creates Vendor Ratings for approximately 30 leading IT vendors, and Red Hat believes its "Positive" rating reflects on the importance of its technologies and solutions in today's IT market.
