The Red Hat Enterprise Linux family is the industry's most comprehensive suite of Linux operating systems--designed for mission-critical enterprise computing and certified by top enterprise software vendors.

It delivers the highest levels of performance and value--combining the innovation of open source technology with the stability of a true enterprise-class platform. Now you can deploy Linux in the most demanding environments, from the desktop to the datacenter.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux products are delivered through an annual subscription with one year of support services and access to Red Hat Enterprise Network. This ensures your systems stay reliable and secure.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (formerly Red Hat Linux Advanced Server) is the core operating system and infrastructure enterprise Linux solution. Supporting the largest commodity-architecture servers--with up to eight CPUs and 16GB of main memory--and available with the highest levels of support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS is the ultimate solution for large departmental and datacenter servers.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS is supported by an extensive range of applications from leading ISVs, and has garnered impressive industry-standard benchmark results. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is certified on systems provided by Dell, HP, IBM, and Sun.

Also, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS is certified by DISA (US Defense Information Systems Agency) as COE (Common Operating Environment) Compliant. It is the only Linux distribution to have received this certification.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES provides the core operating system and networking infrastructure for a wide range of entry-level and departmental server applications. It is ideally suited for network, file, print, mail, Web, and custom or packaged business applications. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES is fully compatible across the Red Hat Enterprise Linux family, providing the stability, performance, and support needed for critical application deployments.

While Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES provides the same core capabilities as Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, it is designed for smaller systems with up to two CPUs and 4GB of main memory.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS is the desktop/client member of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux family. Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS is ideal for client-server deployments, S/W development environments and targeted ISV client applications (such as EDA and Oil/Gas applications). Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS is also ideally suited for use in HPC (high performance computing) environments deployed on high density, headless workstation configurations and blade compute farms. Typical applications include CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and visualization/rendering.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS is fully compatible with other members of Red Hat's Enterprise family of products and provides complementary technology and services. It supports workstation/desktop systems with up to two CPUs and includes server applications appropriate to that environment, such as Apache and Samba. (Note. Network server applications, such as DHCP, DNS and ypserv, are not provided.)
