closeRALEIGH -- Linux software company Red Hat has established operations in Brazil and Argentina by acquiring its Latin American distributor, LatinSource Technology, for an undisclosed sum.
Julian Somodi, president and founder of the 32-employee LatinSource, has been named general manager for Red Hat South America. The division will handle regional support and training as well as sales.
The acquisition delivers "on Red Hat's commitment to continued global expansion into international markets," Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik said in a statement. The Raleigh-based company is the world's largest distributor of the Linux computer operating system, a low-cost rival to operating systems such as Microsoft's Windows.
