Customer Success Stories: Saving Resources While Upgrading To The Newer RHEL For SAP Release Version
Red Hat News, Thursday, November 16,2023
Red Hat customer, COFCO International, migrated to the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) release. They upgraded their RHEL 7 systems hosting SAP workloads to RHEL 8. Without the hassle of creating new virtual machines and redeploying SAP applications, COFCO International saved resources, minimized downtime and enabled an upgrade path for the RHEL 9 release version.
Note that the RHEL 7 maintenance support phase ends in less than a year (June 30, 2024). To support our customers in completing their planned migrations, Red Hat has announced a one-time, four-year Extended Life (ELS) phase maintenance period for RHEL 7 ELS. In this series, we'll share some of our customers' experiences and best practices of their migration to a newer major version of RHEL, taking advantage of new features and enhancements.
