Linux and vertical markets

Just a quick heads up: the staff here at SearchEnterpriseLinux.com will be dipping a toe or two into the vertical markets that have sprung up around Linux. Onwards and upwards, right? One of those markets is health care, and coincidentally enough, Red Hat made a little announcement in the healthcare market today:

McKesson has joined with Red Hat to introduce the Red Hat Enterprise Healthcare Platform, an open source information technology application with services designed to meet the mission-critical demands of health care. (McKesson Corporation is a healthcare services IT company — Jack).

In the coming weeks, I’ll be featuring some of the major initiatives each of the major Linux players have made and will make in a series of articles on the vertical market space . Stay tuned and, as always, leave a comment or shoot me an email with some of your real world ideas and experiences.
