Red Hat Subscription Cost Optimisation

Optimise the Cost & Renewal of your Red Hat Software Subscription Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (the operating system offering of Red Hat) is a Linux distribution developed by Red Hat and is widely used in the commercial market.

Red Hat provides a ‘support subscription’ licensing metric as opposed to buying a license – a distinction that can often trip up clients, creating additional risk and/or cost. This support subscription licensing can confuse matters further when deploying Red Hat in the cloud.
