Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

I mean, I literally couldn't do it without it.

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.

We can get things rolled out very quickly and in a hybrid cloud environment for the tool systems, that's really important. And once we go to OpenShift, then we're going to start doing bare metal deploys. I'm assuming that its track record's going to stay because you need reliability and you need something that's going to be able to handle what you're going to give it. So that's an assumption on my part.

Based on the general servers we have in the throughput they provide, I would say it's very positive.

N/A

Overall, it's been absolutely positive. Again, for the reasons of being able to maintain a stable, consistent environment.

RHEL has had an excellent ROI as we continue to use. I do not make purchasing decisions but its ease of use helps at administrator level

Auditors are happy that we use an enterprise class distribution

Patch process is easy and fairly predictable

Information Security is fully satisfied with the speed of the fixing the errata and general state of the security patches, including the backporting process

Great OS.

Support is responsive.

Great new features.

RHEL is critical for most of the software development that we do. It is also critical to our customers so our development must be on RHEL.

allowed us to scale quickly

It's been positive as there is rarely any sort catastrophic event

Redhat's support means you have experts on hand quickly for critical problems

Upgrades from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 can be difficult, but after that it's a piece of cake.

It has been the platform of choice for development because it is the platform of choice for our customers

Opportunity to migrate applications consistently to the cloud

A first class support experience

Application stability

It's very useful for Vending.

Sometimes DBs get stuck, so it impacts business.

Patching updates are useful.

Good Return on investment.

Compatibility with most enterprise software.

stability

predictability

A centralized logging/warning system that explains in detail what services failed and the exact reason why opposed to traditional Linux log files.

Automation

Cloud

microsoft tools do not work

cannot get voips to work daisy chained with ice

learning curve to do tasks

It has allowed the business to meet goals set for operating performance

We've more than doubled our Linux workload without increasing engineering staff.

We have migrated workloads from Windows, cutting resource requirements.

Licensing cost compared to other products

Its optimize business solution for small scale business and expecting some reduction in License cost as its huge

Good to handle the systems at small business object and expecting more on high consuming systems
