IBM has just announced the largest purchase in its history. Since the American company has just made it official that they buy Red Hat, one of the biggest drivers of open source and Linux, software developers.

Both companies have already published a statement on their web pages, talking about this operation. And in them it is mentioned that Red Hat is going to be maintained as an independent unit.

This was undoubtedly one of the main questions in this purchase operation, since doubts could arise about the way in which IBM was going to integrate Red Hat. But at least we already know that they will be kept as two separate units, in fact, they will even keep the offices as they are so far. What they are going to do is operate as a new unit within the Hybrid Cloud team.

Red Hat is one of the main drivers of open source worldwide, and known for its work with Linux. They became the first open source software company to exceed $ 1 billion in profit in a quarter. A clear sign of its good performance.

Without a doubt, it is a most interesting purchase by IBM. So we will see what plans the company has in this regard, since 34, 000 million are not paid as well. We hope to know more about the projects that they are going to develop soon.
