4 reasons to renew Red Hat Enterprise Linux

With your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® subscription, you gain more than an operating system (OS). Your subscription has empowered you with the security, flexibility, resilience, and performance to support your IT workloads across physical, virtual, and cloud deployments. Here are 4 ways you can continue to innovate on a stable foundation.

• Red Hat Support and expertise
  Access Red Hat Support and expertise through the Red Hat Customer Portal, which provides the latest security updates, reference architectures, documentation, and additional assistance.

  Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights), an integrated analytics tool, proactively identifies and resolves security, compliance, and configuration risks using system data.
• Partnerships with hardware, software, and cloud providers
  Thanks to our partnerships, choose from various reliable hardware, software, and cloud vendor solutions that work cohesively with Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.

• View a list of your systems and subscriptions
  With Red Hat Subscription Management, you can access a comprehensive catalog of your subscriptions and systems.

With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can deploy and operate any supported OS version. 

You can upgrade at your convenience and take advantage of new features as they become available.

 Major releases receive up to 10 years of updates and support, while select minor releases receive up to 2 years. This extended support ensures stability for long-term planning.

If you need more time for transitions, you can extend the lifecycles of your releases with the optional Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Life Cycle Support Add-On and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Update Support Add-On.

Red Hat is a premium commercial contributor to the Linux kernel, JBoss® upstream community, and countless other open source projects. 

Your subscription empowers you to contribute and implement continuous progress and innovation through open source communities.

Participating in an open source project will benefit your organization directly from the shared workload and innovation from open source communities, just as Red Hat does. You can also partner in that innovation with everyone else in that community.

The value of open source participation by Red Hat and other community members means you will obtain direct knowledge of any subscribed software offerings because you will work with the experts who built that software.

Innovation will come with increased speed since projects typically release early and release often, giving you more rapid access to the cutting edge of technology.
