Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® Server is the most popular variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server is the operating system: incredibly simple to control, easy to administer, and can be deployed on physical hardware systems, on virtual machines, or in the cloud—wherever it’s needed. It serves as a foundation in IT infrastructure supporting all major hardware platforms (x86, ARM, POWER and Z) and thousands of commercial and custom applications.

Lack of standardization increases complexity in an environment. Increased complexity often means decreased productivity. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server standardizes development and deployment with repeatable, flexible, scalable, and automated images, patch-management, and backup processes. It also has built-in manageability and integration with broader Red Hat management and automation solutions that can help you optimize IT staff workloads, increasing efficiency and reducing unplanned downtime.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server standardizes your operating platform, allowing you to build the infrastructure of your choice to expand as you see fit.  It’s the base from which your enterprise can grow and expand, whether that’s bare-metal or into the cloud—opting into containers or virtual machines, incorporating automation, virtualization, Kubernetes, or whatever else you need when you need it, without anything you don’t.

To deploy in physical, virtual, and cloud environments, you need a comprehensive and scalable operating system. Use a common OS that provides consistency across on-premise, cloud, and edge environments to stay in control of infrastructure complexity and optimize operations at scale. 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server provides what you need to help create the infrastructure you want. And with thousands of certified hardware, software, and cloud partners, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server offers a consistent foundation across hybrid environments, supporting virtually any workload and providing the tools needed to deliver services and workloads faster with less effort.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is certified on hundreds of clouds and with thousands of hardware and software vendors, and it can be purchased to support specific use cases like edge computing or SAP workloads.
