IIRC EnterpriseDB mainly makes it money from paid hosting and I think Hashicorp makes its money from a combo of paid hosting and open core (i.e. it has other proprietary tools and add-ons). SUSE is a good example, but I'm not as sure about Canonical. Wasn't it the case that Canonical is actually operating at a loss and has been for a while? Maybe that's changed?
- tssva 5y agoCanonical had a $20 million operating profit in 2020.
- dwohnitmok 5y agoOh interesting. But digging into that it looks like it's coming from adding open core and previous to that they were losing money? (Ubuntu Pro + Ubuntu Advantage providing auxiliary proprietary? tools)
- nix23 5y agoBut then you can argue that RedHat made also money with Openshift no? >EnterpriseDB mainly makes it money from paid hosting Not sure if that's true.
- dwohnitmok 5y ago> But then you can argue that RedHat made also money with Openshift no? Yeah but RedHat's (and I guess SUSE?) miracle is that they were still very profitable before Openshift. > Not sure if that's true. Well hopefully someone from EnterpriseDB can chime in!
