Here are some interesting titbits from a executive summary event hosted by Redhat/Intel that I attended yesterday.

> We decreased the execution times for our orders from 1.5 seconds to 5 milliseconds

This from an executive managing the technology organization for a large trading company. Imagine the geekiness in accomplishing this :).

> For every 450 smartphones that get activated a server is added to support them

This from an Intel executive. So if there are [500000 android phones](http://twitter.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org#!/Arubin) being activated every day.. that’s around 1111 servers being added just to serve the android fans :).

> 1 in 4 servers currently runs Linux

This from a Redhat executive. If anyone doubts that Linux is mainstream.. they are living under a rock 🙂
