Business Wire
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 adds new security
features, support for collaborative operational analytics, and a
path towards container-based application infrastructure for
preexisting workloads
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7, the latest version of the stable, proven
and predictable Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform. As the basis
for large, complex IT deployments, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7
offers enterprise IT teams new capabilities to bolster system
security, proactively identify and resolve business-critical IT
issues, and confidently embrace some of the latest open source
technologies, such as Linux containers, without sacrificing
operational stability.
System Security
Emphasizing the platform's commitment to stable and secure
enterprise systems, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 helps prevent data
leakage by allowing read-only mounting of removable media. In
addition, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 now includes the Security
Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Workbench, an easy-to-use tool
that functions as a SCAP scanner and delivers tailored SCAP content
functionality. SCAP Workbench, building upon existing SCAP
functionality in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, allows customers to
measure the compliance of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems
against their own company-specific security guidelines and
criteria.
Red Hat Access Insights
To enhance the reliability of IT deployments, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.7 is compatible with Red Hat Access Insights, a new hosted
service from Red Hat designed to help customers proactively
identify and resolve issues that could impact business operations.
Leveraging the extensive knowledge of Red Hat Certified Engineers
and Red Hat's award-winning customer support team, Red Hat Access
Insights alerts IT administrators to potential problems, like
configuration issues or vulnerabilities, and provides a dashboard
to help identify, understand and correct these issues before any
disruption occurs.
Linux Innovation
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 incorporates many of the latest,
stable open source technologies, allowing enterprises to
confidently deploy recent innovations across physical, virtual and
cloud environments. One example is clufter, a tool for analyzing
and transforming cluster configuration formats. Available as a
technology preview, clufter enables system administrators to update
existing high-availability configurations to run on the latest
high-availability tools from Red Hat. LVM Cache is now a fully
supported feature, allowing users to maximize the performance
benefits of SSD-based storage for their business needs while
limiting associated costs. Additionally, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6.7 base image is now available via the Red Hat Customer Portal,
enabling Red Hat customers to transform traditional workloads into
container-based applications that are suitable for deployment on
Red Hat certified container hosts, including Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and OpenShift
Enterprise 3 by Red Hat.
