Community open source distributions are tempting because they are without cost and easily accessible, but there are a number of potential downsides that can introduce risk and long-term expenses.

For instance, updates and releases for CentOS Linux® 7 will be ending on June 30, 2024. While CentOS and the CentOS community provide tremendous value, system administrators have long been frustrated with delayed fixes, the limited ecosystem of vendors and third-party applications, and its inability to solve problems.

In this webinar, we’ll cover use cases highlighting how community open source users who switched to Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

• Lowered and streamlined their cost of operations.
• Accelerated development cycles with built-in tools and capabilities.
• Maximized uptime and avoided emergencies due to security issues.
• Improved security with integrated tools and dedicated resources.
• Created or migrated to the platform of their future.
