Red Hat will look primarily to emerging markets, not the United States, to expand service sales in the coming years, chief executive Jim Whitehurst said. Red Hat sells services that support open source software, or software whose underlying code is shared freely by professionals and amateurs worldwide. Red Hat's business relies on servicing versions of that software. "While there is still plenty of opportunity in the U.S., outside of the U.S. is exploding," Whitehurst said in an interview.
