IBM and Red Hat Alliance - The principles of open source have transformed both the technical landscape and the way software enables your business. IBM has a long-standing relationship with Red Hat, one of our Linux® Development Partners. Together we have helped lead the open source and open standards revolution, providing open and mixed source solutions that enable our customers beyond the limits of proprietary solutions. IBM, together with Red Hat, have lead in achieving the acceptance of Linux as a mission-critical platform, driving its viability with our direct technical contributions to Linux development and our significant investments in our Red Hat partnership.

The entire IBM Systems product line is enabled for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (link resides outside of ibm.com), making it easy for your business to take advantage of the power of open standards. Together with Red Hat, we can:

  • Improve server utilization and manage Linux-based IT systems more efficiently with built-in virtualization software on supported platforms.
  • Help enable greater data protection and security capabilities with Security-Enhanced Linux.
  • Deliver service-oriented architecture solutions that help simplify and optimize your IT environment.

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® is a high-performing operating system that has delivered outstanding value to IT environments for nearly a decade, having been deployed in mission-critical applications at global stock exchanges, financial institutions, leading telcos, and animation studios; and powers websites of some of the most recognizable global retail brands.
