Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the operating system of choice on which many of our major enterprise applications are running. It provides an efficient stable platform for major technology systems across the enterprise.
  • Stable and efficient OS
  • Addresses critical vulnerabilities quickly
  • Familiar command structure for technical resources
  • Task scheduling ease of use
  • Shared mounting protocol support
  • Third party services support
  • Improved reliability
  • Application efficiency improvements
  • Reduced vulnerability risk
Linux has improved features and utilities over Unix. Scalability and ease of configuration management an improvement over Windows.
Very suitable for running large scale applications in a datacenter environment. Smaller applications or distributed systems are better suited for Windows or other Linux offerings. The manageability and scalability benefits do not outweigh the cost for these types of deployments.
