As a result of the migration from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux, overall application performance was improved significantly. Oracle Enterprise Linux is pretty much based on the Red Hat Linux code, although it receives faster and more regular updates from Oracle. They have better security configurations. However, it is also missing a lot of packages that are usually available in other distributions.

Quick & [on-point] response is what I would say for the support team. There hasn’t been trouble ever since we get in touch with them and ask for help for any major or minor trouble we have been facing. Moreover, the team is very accurate with their solutions and detailed orientated. With such [a] high-performance application and agile environment, a team as such is great at hand.

Oracle Linux became the obvious choice amongst its competitors due to its speed, agility, flexibility, and support from Oracle engineers. The ease of use was one of the major reasons for choosing Oracle Linux over the above-operating systems. Also, the cost of operations, management, and retention were significantly quite low. This made Oracle Linux a very easy and quick choice for our organisation.
