Improve your security best practices without increasing complexity
A security incident is a catastrophe. System lock down and annual audits are the mandatory first step. However, it is the ongoing system maintenance, audits and logging that keep your application platform secure, in compliance and up and running.
When it comes to both security and compliance, Red Hat Linux is the clear choice.
Security
Red Hat Enterprise Linux was built from the ground up to be secure and has been recognized by numerous certifications including the federally sponsored Common Criteria. Every day, Red Hat is your partner in maintaining secure systems with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription including:

Success Stories
Hill Air Force Base
"The value gained from implementing Red Hat was tremendous. Using RHEL as the new OS, Hill AFB reduced its footprint by 25 percent. The nightly load time for the base's largest application has been reduced from an average of 12 hours to just 3 hours per night. There is an increase in capacity, reliability and security, allowing end users to work more efficiently."

Red Hat Enterprise Linux: The Performance Leader for Web Applications
Responsiveness is everything when it comes to Web applications. Even a few seconds delay can lose you customers, slow down worker productivity, and hurt your bottom line. Performance and scalability give you the confidence for more users, more uptime and more data. Today's servers may have over a dozen cores. Your operating system needs to extract the performance from every one of them.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been proven in every tier of your online applications. You get higher throughput, process more transactions per second, and get more power for less cost overall.
Performance Leader on Three Tiers
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the performance leader across the three tiers of your web application. Working with our partners such as IBM, HP and Dell, we've delivered impressive results on industry standard benchmarks.

How? Three ways.
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Red Hat Enterprise Linux costs less to acquire when compared to both Microsoft Windows and UNIX. And that's just the software. Because you can run and scale even the largest mission-critical Web applications on industry-standard x86 hardware, you also reap unprecedented savings on hardware. Patches and upgrades and support are all included in the subscription price. And you get more functionality built into the operating system, so there's no need for expensive add-ons.
- Automate your IT infrastructure. Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite can maximize the performance of your IT systems and staff. Red Hat's systems management platform automates systems provisioning, application deployment, security and configuration to make your Linux infrastructure secure, scalable, manageable and cost less.
- Greener IT operations. Named the Greenest Operating System by Infoworld in 2008, Red Hat Enterprise Linux saves you expenses with efficient operations and support for the latest power saving features. The low overhead and high-performance of the operating system makes it an efficient guest or host; maximizing your server consolidation savings.
