Economic model

Red Hat functions using a Economic model Open Source, based on an opened code, a Community development, services of quality assurance professionals and an assistance customer functioning by subscription. The developers take the sources of the core Linux and improve it so that it corresponds to certain needs. The code that they produce is opened, thus other programmers can add adaptations and improvements to it. When a problem is discovered, a whole community of users can cooperate to find a solution. The development process in its globality is faster and less expensive than a model owner for which the code is not put at the availability of the users, by using for example open bookstores source or by starting again an already existing project.

Red Hat sells subscriptions of assistance, formations and services of integration which help the customers to use the open software source.
