Nov. 9, 2009 12:15 PM

Hitachi has joined Red Hat's year-old Advanced Mission-Critical Program and offer high-end to mission-critical workloads on Linux to customers in Japan. The program is meant to mimic the kind of workloads, services levels, support and long lifecycles previously thought to be supported only on more expensive legacy platforms and should reduce customer costs. Its expanded support options include a 10-year lifecycle, the ability to standardize on a single update release for up to 18 months and proactive notification to reduce system disruption.
