Why upgrade to RHEL8
While organizations across the globe undertake innovative digital transformation initiatives, many continue to run and maintain their legacy RHEL OS. Running outdated OS exposes organizations to a host of challenges in terms of security, additional cost for extended support add-ons, efficiency and does not allow them to realize the desired value from their digital implementations.
Organizations using the most updated RHEL report significant business benefits across most of their workloads.
Scaled down time spent for IT tasks by 25%
Reduced annual cost of software by 52%
Lowered costs due to unplanned downtime by 5%
RHEL 8 subscription includes Red Hat insights, which can be enabled in the RHEL environment and provides reports on potential issues in areas of security, performance, availability, stability risks and includes remediation guidance. It also includes enhanced security such as system-wide crypto policies and security profiles for hardened installs, support for hybrid cloud deployment, customizable container tools, streamlined business processes, improved consistency across environments, DevOps enablement, and extended support for enterprise applications and emerging technologies.
