Key Customer Benefits
-
Optimized Solutions for Internet Infrastructures
Dell PowerEdge and PowerApp.web servers based on Red Hat Linux provide a variety of optimized solutions for Internet infrastructures in environments that range from small businesses to global enterprises.

Scalable Solutions
Red Hat Linux 7.2 provides enterprise scalability and is optimized for machines with up to eight processors. According to e-Week, Red Hat Linux when used on a Dell system provides revolutionary performance breakthroughs.
-
Reliable Solutions
Linux can run for extended periods of time without having to be rebooted. And because the source code is open, bugs can be fixed quickly and easily without having to wait for proprietary vendors to issue fixes on-schedule.
-
High Availability Clustering for Web Servers
The most recent versions of Red Hat Linux (7.0 and 7.2) provide fail-over protection against downtime for business-critical servers.
-
Lower Cost to Deploy
Red Hat Linux costs less than other commercial operating systems, making it highly attractive to low-cost projects where licensing costs are an issue, and to users who want to deploy a multitude of servers in an environment where Linux is an optimal OS choice (i.e. ISPs with Web serving farms).
-
Software RAID
Software RAID configuration at installation provides protection against data loss through disk failure. Software RAID works with a variety of inexpensive SCSI cards. Red Hat Linux supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.
-
Open Source Software
Open source software refers to software for which the license requires that its source code be open, extensible and freely re-distributable. Open source software takes advantage of the work of a broad base of development efforts.
-
Flexibility
Linux is highly customizable, enabling fine-tuning and optimization for a specific application/deployment.
Service and Support
Dell support options for systems installed with Red Hat Linux 7.2 are designed to be tailored to specific customer environments.
