The value of the subscription

"We believe that the subscription model puts control back into the hands of the customer." - Iain Gray, VP, Customer Engagement

It's more than just software and support

A Red Hat subscription lets customers leverage Red Hat's unique position in the open source development community and our strong industry relationships. Through these relationships, Red Hat combines industry and community innovation with Red Hat platform products, aligning customer and partner roadmaps. This lets customers deploy the more-manageable and lower-cost IT infrastructure that's demanded of them.

  • Maximize return on investment (ROI) by incorporating new features without compromising the stability of APIs and ABIs.
  • Provide up to 10 years of support and maintenance for any release.

  • Give the customer the ability to influence technology and industry innovation through Red Hat's unique open source community contributions and partner ecosystem—we listen to our customers!
