Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS supports large-memory client systems with up to two CPUs.Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS V.4 X86 AMD64-Intel EM64T Media Kit by Red Hat - Software Licenses Product Specifications   Compare with other products. Features Linux 2.6 kernel infrastructure: Generic logical CPU scheduler: Handles multi-core and hyperthreaded CPUs Object-based Reverse Mapping VM: Improved performance in memory constrained systems Read Copy Update: SMP algorithm optimization for operating system data structures Multiple I/O schedulers: Selectable based on the application environment Enhanced SMP & NUMA support: Improved performance and scalability for large servers Network interrupt mitigation (NAPI): Improved performance for heavy network loads Improved storage and file system capabilities Ext3 performance: Block Reservations and Hash Tree Directories improve the performance of read/write I/O and directory scanning operations Ext3 scalability: Dynamic file system expansion and file system sizes up to 8TB are now supported Logical Volume Management: A comprehensive update to the LVM provides new features such as read/write snapshots and transactional metadata updates, along with a flexible new management GUI. Mirroring and enhanced multipathing are scheduled for delivery by mid 2005 Scalability: Enhanced storage LUN management makes it possible to configure much larger storage subsystems. Automounting: The inclusion of AutoFSv4 provides sophisticated device access control, supporting features such as browsable mounts and replicated servers Cost reduction: Support for Serial ATA disk storage provides increased performance, higher densities, and reduced cost per megabyte over traditional IDE devices. New security capabilities: Mandatory Access Control: Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) provides a MAC infrastructure that complements the existing Discretionary Access Control security features provided by the standard Linux environment. In a MAC-based environment, application capabilities and privileges are set by predefined policies and enforced by the kernel. This prevents errant applications from compromising system security Memory management enhancements: Several features, including Exec Shield and Position Independent Executables, combine to prevent applications from being exploited by attacks such as buffer overflows Compile and runtime consistency checking: New buffer validation techniques in the GCC compiler and Glibc library greatly reduce the risk of faulty applications being compromised Others: Compatibility with prior releases: Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.4 includes compatibility libraries that enable most v.3 and v.2.1 applications to continue to run without modification Languages: Focused on international standards, such as OpenI18N and GB18030, Red Hat Enterprise Linux has documentation and software available in 15 languages: English, Japanese, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Italian, French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Devnagari, Bangla, Punjabi, Tamil, Gujarati. Auditing: In an update planned for mid-2005, a new auditing facility will be available that provides an open, bidirectional socket interface that can be used by auditing applications. It provides comprehensive auditing capabilities for SELinux and standard Linux events File serving: Provision of NFSv4 provides features such improved security, operation coalescing and integrated file locking, while Samba provides easy access to Microsoft Windows printers and file shares Software development: The latest GCC 3.4 compiler toolchain, and a technology preview of the forthcoming GCC 4.0 toolchain, are provided. These offer standards-compliant C/C++ and Fortran 95 development environments Advanced configuration and power interface: Support for the ACPI standard enables a wide range of power management capabilities (battery monitoring, automated power down, suspend), and provides a foundation for increasingly sophisticated featur Compatibility Red Hat Cluster Suite Red Hat Global File System Red Hat Developer Suite Red Hat Application Server Product Type Operating System License Type Media Only Software Name Enterprise Linux WS v.4.0 - Media Only Software Sub Type Client Platform Support PC PowerPC Mainframe Operating System Type Client System Requirements Processor: x86 systems AMD64/EM64T IBM POWER, zSeries & S/390 Hard Disk: 800 MB Memory: 256MB of RAM (for x86) 512MB of RAM (for other architectures) About Red Hat - Software Licenses Products Orders for Red Hat volume licenses are first reviewed by a Provantage licensing specialist for completeness and eligibility.
