What does Red Hat Enterprise Linux include?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) segments the broader enterprise Linux framework across RHEL Server, RHEL Workstation, RHEL for SAP, RHEL High Availability, RHEL Resilient Storage, Red Hat Smart Management (Red Hat Satellite), RHEL High Performance Network, Red Hat OpenShift container platform, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and the bespoke Red Hat framework at the upper customer scale.

How does Red Hat Enterprise Linux pricing work?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux typically anchors the broader pricing framework against the per socket pair framework (broader physical server framework), the per virtual data center framework (broader virtualisation framework), the per virtual machine framework, the broader Red Hat subscription framework, and the bespoke Red Hat pricing framework at the upper customer scale.

How does the post IBM acquisition Red Hat framework differ?

IBM acquired Red Hat in 2019. The post IBM acquisition framework typically anchors the broader Red Hat commercial framework against the broader IBM commercial framework, with the cumulative effect that customers running Red Hat at scale typically face the broader IBM Red Hat commercial framework.

What savings can the framework deliver?

The framework typically delivers fifteen to thirty percent savings across the broader Red Hat Enterprise Linux framework at the renewal cycle.
