Today marks an exciting milestone for Red Hat as we share news of the
general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the latest major
release of the flagship platform. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 not only
lays the foundation for the open hybrid cloud and serves enterprise
workloads across converged infrastructures; it pushes the operating
system beyond today’s position as a commodity platform. Built to meet
modern datacenter demands along with next-generation IT requirements,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 powers the spectrum of enterprise IT, from
application containers to cloud services.
With today’s announcement, we invite Red Hat customers, partners, and
members of the public to join the Red Hat hosted virtual event,
Redefining the Enterprise OS, at 11 a.m. EDT today at
http://bit.ly/RHELjune10 to learn more about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 offers customers agility and flexibility to
meet new requirements head-on without increasing complexity, from
rapidly delivering new applications via secure, lightweight containers
to scaling infrastructure to meet big data requirements with new and
enhanced file systems. Key Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 features to
address future IT needs include:
* Enhanced application development, delivery, portability and
isolation through Linux Containers, including Docker, across physical,
virtual, and cloud deployments as well as development, test and
production environments.
* Significant file system improvements, including XFS as the default
file system, scaling to 500 TB.
* Cross-realm trust to easily enable secure access for Microsoft
Active Directory users across Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux domains, providing the flexibility for Red Hat Enterprise Linux to
co-exist within heterogeneous datacenters.
* Powerful and secure application runtimes and development, delivery
and troubleshooting tools, integrated into the platform and container-ready.
While serving as a catalyst for enterprise innovation, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7 also delivers the military-grade security,
mission-critical reliability, as well as the performance, and
ease-of-use capabilities to efficiently “keep the lights on,” including:
* Innovative infrastructure components like systemd, a new standard
for modernizing the management of processes, services, security and
other resources.
* Built-in performance profiles, tuning and instrumentation for
optimized performance and easy scalability.
* Unified management tooling and an industry-standard management
framework with OpenLMI for streamlined administration and system
configuration.
* Enhanced application isolation and security applied via
containerization to protect against both unintentional interference and
malicious attacks.
Since its introduction more than a decade ago, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
has become the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, and it has set
industry standards for performance and security while continuously
innovating and evolving. Today, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a leading
force in the enterprise datacenter and in the cloud. More than 90
percent of 2013 Fortune 500 companies, along with organizations in
nearly every industry and around the globe, rely on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 answers the heterogeneous realities of modern
enterprise IT with a cohesive, unified foundation that enables customers
