Frequently asked questions about
Red Hat and SIXE

What is Red Hat Enterprise Linux and what is it used for?
RHEL is the most widely used enterprise Linux distribution in the world. It provides a stable, secure operating system with long-term support (10+ years per version) for servers, cloud and containers. It is the foundation of critical environments in banking, healthcare, manufacturing and public sector. Current versions are RHEL 9 and RHEL 10.
Is SIXE an official Red Hat partner?
SIXE is an IBM Business Partner. Red Hat has been an IBM company since 2019. We have been working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenShift, Ansible and Satellite in production environments for over 15 years. We offer up to 40% discount on licences and subscriptions through IBM.
Do you support RHEL on IBM Power (ppc64le)?
Sí. Es una de nuestras especialidades. Instalamos y mantenemos RHEL en arquitectura IBM Power (ppc64le) con PowerVM, incluyendo alta disponibilidad con PaceMaker, SAP HANA on Power y OpenShift en Power. Consulta nuestra página de Linux on IBM Power para más información.
Can I use the free version of RHEL in production?
Yes. Red Hat offers free Developer licences for up to 16 production servers. For larger environments, subscriptions include access to updates, certifications and official support. SIXE helps you evaluate which subscription model suits you and whether a community alternative like Rocky Linux or Alma Linux can cover part of your estate.
What is the difference between RHEL and Rocky Linux / Alma Linux?
Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are binary clones of RHEL — same packages, same compatibility. The difference is support: RHEL includes commercial support from Red Hat, third-party certifications (SAP, Oracle, VMware) and access to Red Hat Satellite and Ansible Automation Platform with official support. For many non-critical production environments, Rocky or Alma are a viable option. SIXE supports all three distributions.
