Choose an operating system that supports modern business needs

The CentOS Project discontinued updates, patches, and releases of CentOS Linux® as of June 2024. As a result, CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system (OS) to continue receiving updates and patches, and to avoid exposing their organization to potential security breaches. While implementing a new OS may seem tedious, it also presents an opportunity to reassess your organization’s needs and choose a platform that will better support your business now and in the future.

A consistent, intelligent operating foundation for modern IT and enterprise hybrid cloud deployments, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux delivers optimal benefits for your organization. Because CentOS Linux is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources, you can continue to use many of the same techniques and elements while gaining more features, tools, support, and value.

Compared to organizations that use unpaid alternatives like CentOS Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux users experience:

  • 16% lower 3-year cost of operations.
  • 32% more efficient IT infrastructure teams.
  • 35% faster development lifecycles.
  • 81% less unplanned downtime.
