Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) offers an enterprise-grade platform upon which to build data center applications, most notably Web applications. However, only 27% of enterprises with fewer than 500 employees use Linux in the server room.
Further highlights from this note include:
- SME operating system environments are typically homogenous to 100 employees.
- SMEs need to rely on vendor relationships when selecting a Linux distribution.
- Red Hat brings in-depth technical knowledge to the table for complex deployments.
IT leaders are encouraged to consider RHEL, particularly when building out Web applications and services.
