Computer business innovator Red Hat, Inc. recently released information about its Enterprise Linux operating system.  The system has been selected by Nokia Corp.’s Networks Business as the primary operating system for platforms that are carrier grade.

These two companies will work together to design carrier-grade telecommunications products, and Red Hat will provide consulting, certification, training services and support as part of the partnership.  

The Networks Group is about to merge with Siemens AG to provide carrier-related services under the name Nokia Siemens Networks.  Whether or not Red Hat will transfer to the new organization is still unknown.

Red Hat announced last month that it would focus more strongly on telecommunications and was joining a European Commission project to create telecommunication service delivery platform standards.  VP of worldwide marketing and general manager of Red Hat’s product division stated that the next set of delivery services would be based around some of the concepts of open source.

Earlier in November the computer business Red Hat stated that 29 telecommunications independent software vendors had become a part of the telecommunications partner program within the past six months.
