5 Surprising Benefits of Migrating from CentOS Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

While opting for a free, unsupported operating system may seem like a cost-saving measure, the long-term advantages of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) are compelling. Here are five surprising benefits that organizations can gain from migrating to RHEL:

  1. Cost Savings According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), organizations investing in Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions witness a remarkable return on investment compared to using a free, unsupported OS. With a staggering 573% three-year ROI, RHEL proves to have a lower total cost of ownership over time.
  2. Streamlined Migration with Minimal Disruption Red Hat’s migration tool, Convert2RHEL, facilitates a seamless transition by automating the conversion process. It intelligently determines the conversion path based on the CentOS Linux version, prepares the system, and replaces OS packages with RHEL equivalents while preserving customizations and preferences.
  3. Analytics and Automation RHEL offers built-in analytics and automation tools that enhance efficiency and performance. By leveraging configuration and utilization data from your deployment, these tools provide valuable insights through rule-based analytical models. Additionally, they offer proactive notifications about configuration issues to prevent unplanned downtime.
  4. Built-in Security and Compliance Capabilities Mitigate the risk of vulnerabilities with RHEL’s automated and repeatable security controls. The platform helps enforce security configuration and policies, streamlining your compliance strategy and ensuring robust protection against potential threats.
