Red Hat Inc's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers



We provide our software offerings to our customers primarily under annual or multi-year subscriptions. Our subscription business model is designed to provide customers with a comprehensive technology solution for the duration of their subscription. A subscription generally entitles a customer to, among other things, a specified level of support, as well as new versions of the software, security updates, fixes, functionality enhancements and upgrades to the technology, if and when available, and compatibility with an ecosystem of certified hardware and software applications. We offer customers subscription options that have varying levels of customer support to which the customer is entitled. In addition, our customers are eligible to participate in Red Hat’s Open Source Assurance program, which provides certain protections in the event there is an intellectual property infringement issue with our enterprise offerings.
Our subscription business model contrasts with the typical proprietary software license model from a revenue recognition perspective. Under a proprietary software license model, the vendor typically recognizes license revenue in the period that the software is initially licensed. In contrast, under our subscription model, we generally defer revenue when we bill the customer and recognize revenue over the life of the subscription term.

We make Red Hat enterprise offerings available directly to customers and indirectly through various channels of distribution. Our direct sales channels include our sales force and our web store. Our indirect sales channels include cloud computing providers, distributors, independent software vendors (“ISVs”), systems integrators (“SIs”), and value added resellers (“VARs”). In addition, hardware original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pre-load and support Red Hat enterprise offerings on their hardware products and also sell their hardware together with Red Hat enterprise offerings as part of pre-configured solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat JBoss Middleware enterprise offerings also have gained widespread support from leading ISVs, independent hardware vendors (“IHVs”), and SIs. With the support and tools we make available, many of these companies have engineered and certified that their technologies run on or with Red Hat enterprise offerings, and, in some cases, IHVs and ISVs have built their products and solutions using our enterprise offerings. We believe widespread support from these companies helps to increase the level of market acceptance and adoption of our enterprise offerings.
