Linux Standardization
Go faster on the OS that goes anywhere
When your infrastructure spans clouds, datacenters, and edge environments, consistency is what keeps you moving. An OS built for hybrid cloud delivers it, so you can adapt quickly and build without stopping.

Standardize to stay agile
Linux is the standard for enterprise-scale operations. But not all Linux distributions are created equal. Cost-free and cloud versions are convenient, but they may not integrate with other environments or offer the security safeguards every organization needs.
Standardizing on genuine enterprise Linux from Red Hat brings consistency across environments and systems. And that consistency gives you portability, so you can deploy and move existing and future workloads anywhere.
That includes the artificial intelligence workloads organizations must deliver to compete. As the fully integrated foundation of our application platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers what teams need to deploy AI across any datacenter, public cloud or edge: performance, security, and compatibility with the broadest set of hardware, frameworks, and libraries.
Build security from the source
With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can establish a strong security posture. Built on a trusted software supply chain, it has built-in features that let you proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. That security-focused foundation gives you the flexibility to shift when circumstances demand it.

More efficiency means more time for innovation
The efficiency gains from standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux are real, and they free you to focus on the work that matters most.
Unified by a single operating environment, uniform tools, and tested approaches, teams working on our flexible foundation can shift their focus from managing complexity to making better experiences for customers and users.
More time for innovation isn’t all your teams get. Upstream communities and a massive ecosystem of partners keep Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the cutting edge. New releases integrate emerging tools and techniques (like post-quantum cryptography in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10), so your teams can embrace innovative technologies as they emerge.
