Integrated Carrier-Grade Platforms for Telecommunications

Stability

Red Hat maintains a single Enterprise Linux distribution that supports both enterprise and carrier-grade technical and functional requirements by certifying that the OS has been tested and hardened across a range of enterprise and telecommunications environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a more stable distribution because of upstream development in the Fedora Project. Enterprise Linux includes the Fedora features that have been proven reliable and useful for enterprise and carrier grade deployments.

Performance

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides unparalleled system performance by holding the world record in TPC-C performance benchmark for 8-way Intel systems and TPC-C performance benchmark for a clustered configuration. See for more details: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/benchmarks/

Furthermore, The JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite is used extensively in the telecommunications ecosystem and service-oriented architecture (SOA) to speed time-to-market for the development of enterprise Java applications.
