Linux is a stable and robust server platform used by EY that provides reliable and high-performance services. EY provisions Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in both physical and virtual environments configured to EY's standards with support from Red Hat. Going forward, EY will evaluate alternative OS versions like CentOS and work to transition processes from traditional data centers to more agile cloud solutions on platforms like Microsoft Azure and OneCloud. Project managers are encouraged to consider Linux for workloads due to its lightweight requirements and potential cost savings over other proprietary systems.
