What is the State of CentOS Support?

Achieve Cost Savings with Linux Alternatives

RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 EOL is November 30, 2020. RedHat is offering extended lifecycle support for RHEL 6, but it is expensive and somewhat limited in terms of support capabilities. This will leave many organizations’ operating systems open to security vulnerabilities.

What Are My RHEL 6 Options?

Those who are on RHEL 6 either have to rush an upgrade, pay new costs for extended lifecycle support for RedHat, or they can migrate to community-based CentOS and get support from an alternative commercial vendor.

The OpenLogic team is here to help make this decision easier. If you haven’t upgraded from RHEL 6 or CentOS 6, OpenLogic can help protect your business against the risks. We can keep you afloat by providing support for RHEL 6 while helping you plan a migration or upgrade.
