E-Commerce Times Talkback

Linux distributor Red Hat is set to launch a new e-commerce suite built on an open-source
platform, the company told the E-Commerce Times on Friday.

The new product is aimed at mid-size businesses that want to expand their e-commerce
platform to support more transactions, enable more complex merchandising and integrate
with their backend systems, according to Red Hat. Many mid-size companies want "more scalability,
functionality, performance and customizability, but they don't want to endure the money
or the complexity of the higher end systems," Red Hat marketing director Charles Gold said.
