A secure, stable Linux distribution for robust and stable services

We currently use this distribution to manage interface services between LIS and clinical analysis equipment, which has been very useful since it is a stable system with good performance that knows how to take advantage of the assigned resources to manage tasks. secure, stable and above all manageable operating system

PROS

What I like most about this distribution is how stable it can be once implemented. Also that it is very secure when it comes to data handling, vulnerability and unauthorized access, it is a distribution for server and business use

CONS

That it is a complex distribution as far as the user is concerned, it is not for users with little experience, but for advanced users of linux

Reason for choosing Red Hat Enterprise Linux

We needed a more stable distro that can balance the hardware resources allocated in a more efficient way.

Best Linux for Enterprise applications

It's easy to use and you will get every possible support. Overall the best OS for application development.

PROS

The support from the red hat enterprise is very good. The enterprise-level features offered by RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX makes it one of the best candidate for enterprise applications. The memory management is quite well and it is almost compatible with every major enterprise-level software available in the market.

CONS

The GUI and support can be improved. Different official customizable GUI should be available. Official RHEL Desktop (GUI) container should be made available.

Reason for choosing Red Hat Enterprise Linux

RHEL provides a dedicated support which helps you to configure and maintain the OS in the best way possible.

Redhat Enterprise Linux: A big name for Developing and Deploying Enterprise Servers

I realized very good performance when running client/server applications on top of RHEL using the Java platform. Even when the communication is secured using SSL/TLS, the concurrency support was really impressive compared to other Linux distributions such as Kali and Ubuntu.

PROS

I used Redhat Enterprise Linux for developing and deploying custom client/server applications using the Java Socket API. The main motive behind this development is to test the performance of SSL Sockets compared to normal Sockets using the Java Server Socket Extension API. We deployed the client and Server code on separtate Linux VMs and we managed the virtualization using the Vmware VSphere virtualization server. We realized a very good server concurrency of the JVM on RHEL compared to Kali and Ubuntu. This is the main advantange we depicted in RHEL that made it a very suitable enterprise platform for server-side code. The plan is to test with other programming languages for developing the server code such as in Python and C++ to see if we can generalize the performance enhancement compared to other Linux platforms.

CONS

RHEL is a bit laggy when loading a GUI desktop environment. Although this is not the duty of an Enterprise Server environment to provide sophisticated desktop services, we believe that this could enhance the user experience during the development and deployment phases of the enterprise application.
