IBM LinuxONE vs. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

IBM LinuxONE dashboard is clean and friendly to welcome new users and the capabilities of the feature are excellent and easy to pull multiple data from other third parties platforms through the IBM LinuxONE integration functions and the data merging tools are very excellent. Multiple data processing operations are easily managed and monitored through this software and the reports are effective.

I think it's best suited for all the monolithic application where you just need a VM and you on top of that VM you need to install a compatible product. So it's best suited for those. Where's not suited. As I said, maybe I've seen in my organization mostly our internal application teams, they go for a different operating system for appliances or network maybe it might be due to the product compatibility, not with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but that's something maybe you should have a look or probably it's not a improvement anywhere.

• I really love that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is reliable, that it always seems to work well.
• It's very secure.
• I really appreciate that Red Hat keeps everything up to date and they are on top of security, mobilities, et cetera. I'd say those are my favorite things.

• We had some milestones we did not meet due to technical issues, we had to get those escalated and finally got them resolved.

• Well, one of the things, this ties right back to my previous answer from what it sounds like, the cloud platform for Insights doesn't currently have an easy way to generate CVE compliance reports, or do scans for where you have remediations required, but it does not currently produce those reports in a way that I could just hand off to our security team and be like, here's our compliance, here's where all the things are specifically because Red Hat does backporting of patches and a lot of security tools don't know how to handle that and think that we're vulnerable when we're not. So from everything I've heard, it's possible. That's why I'm excited for it. But it's not easily pushed button generated report yet. So we're working with them to get that in there.

We find RHEL to be a superior OS with stable operations and long life. It is also easier to use and fix then most other OS's.

RHEL has most of the features that are required by an ERP solution. If you need any additional packages, RHEL has a great repository and a very easy package installation/upgrade process.

Red Hat support has really come a long way in the last 10 years, The general support is great, and the specialized product support teams are extremely knowledgeable about their specific products. Response time is good and you never need to escalate.

Don't be afraid of it, its easy to install and configure for the tasks needed.

LinuxONE has better scalability and price/performance metrics.

The biggest thing about RHEL that makes it stand out for enterprise users is the support that we get from the vendor. Whereas with the other ones, you're basically left on your own. There's no official repo, there's no satellite for patching. You're very left on your own with the community.

• Pulling of multiple and big data from different channels.
• Project workflow management is effective via the tool.
• Project data processing and data management.

• It's only been positive and like I said before, it's been positive because it removed tedious tasks and I think that's probably what it's designed to help do from what I can tell is just to get rid of the mundane tasks of a systems administrator. The things that you just don't want to waste time doing so you can actually use your brain for something useful.
