Choose an operating system that supports modern business needs
As one of the world’s most popular operating systems, Linux® provides an ideal platform for modern, innovative IT. Still, your choice of Linux distribution can have a significant impact on the efficiency, performance, security, and cost of your IT environment — and your business.
Organizations that use CentOS Linux — a freely available, community-supported Linux distribution — currently face a choice. The CentOS Project will discontinue updates and releases of CentOS Linux between 2021 and 2024. As a result, CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving updates, patches, and new features. While implementing a new operating system may seem tedious, it also presents an opportunity to reassess your organization’s needs and choose a platform that will better support your business now and in the future.
A consistent, intelligent operating foundation for modern IT and enterprise hybrid cloud deployments, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux delivers optimal benefits for your organization. Because CentOS Linux is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources, you can continue to use many of the same techniques and elements while gaining more features, tools, support, and value.
