Duncan Unwin. Principal of MAX-SI, said that people are recognising the freedom and value that Linux and open source can deliver to their organisation in the Queensland market. "We are especially seeing demand in manufacturing and distribution, government and education, and being able to offer a comprehensive Red Hat service is highly sought after."

Sandeep Chandirimani, the partner and alliances director at Red Hat added. "Red Hat has a strong history in Queensland with our South Asia Pacific headquarters in Brisbane. We also believe Queensland is a key market, with great growth potential.

"MAX-SI has a strong history of success here and a great skills base within its team, including a track record in integrating complex and sophisticated technologies for businesses.

"By partnering with MAX-SI, Red Hat can take advantage of their local knowledge and experience to deliver high-value open source solutions to Queensland companies."
