| Oracle supports Asia's Linux |
Jul. 20, 2004
Oracle says it is investing in the adoption of Linux in Asia by incorporating support for the regional open source version of Linux, Asianux. The company announced in Shanghai today that it will be offering complete certification on Asianux across the Oracle product line.
Key Oracle partners, including AMD, Dell, HP, Langchao, NEC, and Sun, have all said they will certify their products and support the adoption of Asianux as a Linux standard in Asia, according to Oracle.
CCID Consulting estimates the Linux server software market in China will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49.3 percent over the next five years.
Asianux was developed through a joint partnership between China's Red Flag Software and Japan's Miracle Linux at Oracle's China Development Center in Beijing. Staffed with Linux experts from Oracle as well as local and multinational partners, the China Development Center certified Oracle 10g on Asianux.
Oracle has two research and development centers in China, in Shenzhen and Beijing. In addition to supporting Asianux, the company also has strategic partnerships with top Linux firms Red Hat, Novell, Miracle Linux, and Red Flag.
In May, Oracle claimed to be the "largest Linux-based development organization in the world," with more than 9,000 developers creating Linux products globally.
