Red Hat Global Support Team Honored as a Leader in Support Excellence

Red Hat recognized as a finalist in the HDI Team Excellence Awards for
customer support

APAC ­ March 22, 2011 ­ Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading
provider of open source solutions, today announced that its Global Support
Services team has been named a top-three finalist in the HDI Team Excellence
Awards in recognition of the support leadership Red Hat delivers to its
global enterprise customers.

The HDI Team Excellence Awards program honors the IT service and support
professionals who have most enhanced the image of the support services
profession by setting and achieving the highest standards of excellence in
customer support. Submissions for the award are judged on criteria that
include how the support team complements the company's mission, the nature
of support and how the support group is organized, how the support team
measures customer satisfaction and new processes or procedures that have
been rolled out within the last 12 months.

Red Hat's subscription model provides customers with the latest open source
technology, improved features, security updates and software and hardware
certifications. It also includes access to unique knowledge and technical
expertise from Red Hat's Global Support Services and engineering teams. In
June 2010, Red Hat announced enhancements to its customer experience and
subscription value with the general availability of a new global customer
portal. The customer portal provides a single point of entry for Red Hat
customers to access product knowledge such as document and video content,
downloads, case management, security updates, subscription management and
proactive planning tools such as uses cases and solutions.
