Provides robust security, comprehensive support, and an extended lifecycle
What is our primary use case?
We have RHEL deployed on the Cloud and also on-premises. We purchased it from a Red Hat representative.
We have several use cases, one of which is in the manufacturing field. In this case, we leverage manufacturing data for R&D engineering workflow purposes. Specifically, we use the HPC workload to visualize the utilization of all compute nodes as a percentage. RHEL also finds application in the automotive industry for specific engineering workloads, including drivetrain simulations, design processes, crash simulations, and driving simulations. Additionally, RHEL is used in the healthcare industry, particularly by highly regulated pharmaceutical organizations, to manage healthcare licenses.
How has it helped my organization?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has provided significant value to our organization through its robust support, extended lifecycle, and valuable insights through the analytics tool that helps to identify and remediate potential issues before they impact the organization. We haven't encountered any Windows operating system that offers a comparable lifecycle length. By analyzing incidents in our management tracker, we were able to realize the benefits of implementing RHEL. For example, we conduct monthly reviews where we examine reports to identify any incidents that have occurred. Following the implementation, we utilized the ticketing tool to analyze incident data and observed a 15 percent reduction in incidents.
What is most valuable?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers several valuable features, including robust security, a subscription-based model that offers comprehensive support for development and distribution, and an extended lifecycle for stable operation.
What needs improvement?
One area for improvement in RHEL is compatibility with some third-party tools, like those offered by Intel.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for over 15 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
RHEL is a stable solution. The maturity of the OS helps with the stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
RHEL is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team is knowledgeable and meets their SLAs. If the first level cannot resolve our issue, they will escalate the ticket to the next level until it is resolved. They take ownership of the ticket until it is resolved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In addition to Windows and Linux, we also utilize Ubuntu depending on the specific product and industry. While any operating system may be suitable for the manufacturing and automotive sectors, regulatory environments like banking, finance, and healthcare require heightened security, encompassing the operating system itself.
How was the initial setup?
Deploying RHEL directly is straightforward, but integrating it with third-party tools requires expertise in both the OS and the specific tools being integrated.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be deployed quickly on individual machines.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a golden image builder. This tool allows us to deploy the same image across all compute nodes in the cluster, ensuring uniformity. While we may encounter occasional compatibility issues with specific hardware, we have workarounds in place to address them.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was completed in-house.
What was our ROI?
The operating system serves as the foundation for our hardware interaction, contributing to a strong return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
While purchasing a small number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux licenses can be expensive, acquiring licenses for our entire ecosystem or environment often leads to better pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux nine out of ten.
Organizations seeking to reduce costs associated with RHEL support or those with internal teams capable of managing and supporting the operating system can leverage the open-source version.
Our system administrators handle maintenance, and we additionally cover annual maintenance costs.
I recommend adhering to best practices and maintaining the system regularly for optimal stability.
