CHICAGO, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Hostway Corp., a leading provider of Web hosting and other managed services, announced it has become one of the first Web-hosting companies to offer Red Hat Enterprise Linux to its Linux dedicated server customers. The new offering enhances Hostway's position as a leader in the enterprise hosting market.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a robust, stable Linux operating system supported by Red Hat and a wide variety of independent software vendors (ISVs). Its industry-leading combination of server performance and scalability is easy to manage and it has many certified applications available.
"We are pleased to be one of the few companies to offer the stable and secure environment that Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides. Our customers receive additional security features, support and the reliability needed for enterprise-level hosting," said John Lee, Director of Marketing for Hostway. "We know that customers expect Hostway to be at the forefront of technology and this relationship with Red Hat helps us to remain a strong leader in the industry."
Among the benefits that customers will enjoy with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a more stable, reliable platform for enterprise-level data that has emerged from Red Hat's expanded testing and development cycle. Because it can handle a higher number of processes than other versions of Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux increases enterprise productivity and efficiency, while more robust security features address customers' concerns about the integrity of mission- critical data. Additionally, users get direct access to the Red Hat Network for convenient, dependable support and the most up-to-date patches, updates and upgrades to ensure their systems' effective operation.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available through Hostway's TruFlex Managed Server plans. The operating system and access to Red Hat Network comes built in allowing customers to get started quickly and easily.
