Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Redefining value in the IT industry. Again.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 takes open source to a new level – delivering the results of over two years of collaborative development amongst the world’s largest IT vendors and software communities. Open source has never been more powerful.
Offering the ability to make IT budgets stretch further, Red Hat Enterprise Linux presents a compelling value proposition for any IT manager. And containing over 1200 components, it provides a whole host of new features, covering a broad range of functionality, giving CIOs and IT managers the means to reduce costs while improving operational flexibility throughout their computing infrastructure.
Available in two variants, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (formerly known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES), is perfectly suited for smaller deployments; while Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform, (formerly known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS) is designed for more mainstream businesses and provides a comprehensive suite of open source server applications and virtualisation capabilities.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 provides:
- Reduced costs
- Improved operational flexibility
- A comprehensive services portfolio
- Unmatched partner ecosystem
A base Red Hat Enterprise Linux server has para-virtualised guest operating system support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and version 4 Update 5. It also allows fully-virtualised guest support for versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 upwards. Third party operating systems may also be hosted.
A total of 4 guest operating systems will be supported, unlike Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform which is unlimited, constrained only by physical hardware resources.
