The enterprise OS standard.Deployed right.
RHEL is the most trusted Linux platform in the world. We make sure you adopt, harden, and maintain it the way mission-critical workloads demand.
Out-of-the-box RHEL is not production-hardened. CIS, STIG, PCI-DSS, ISO, NIST — every regulatory framework needs a different baseline applied consistently across thousands of nodes. Infizia delivers RHEL standardisation end to end: assessment, migration, hardening, patch management, and cloud — automated through Leapp, Satellite, OpenSCAP, and Ansible STIG roles.

Linux without governance is technical debt waiting to compound.
Every CentOS server still in production, every un-hardened RHEL image, every manually-applied patch — they're all working today and a finding tomorrow. RHEL governance is not optional.
Friction
CentOS / Oracle / SLES drift
Production fleets running mixed Linux distros that the security team has to audit one server at a time. Standardising on RHEL is months of work nobody has time for.
Friction
Hardening done case-by-case
CIS, STIG, PCI controls applied manually per server. Six months later the audit team finds drift on 30% of nodes. The next audit cycle starts with the same finding.
Friction
Patch cycles that take quarters
CVE triage, change windows, and rolling updates negotiated server-by-server. Critical CVEs land while the patching backlog still has the previous quarter's tickets open.
Friction
End-of-life dates that surprise you
RHEL 7 ELS expires in June 2028. RHEL 6 already ended. The server that's been running fine for 5 years is suddenly out of support — with no migration plan written down anywhere.
Five services that take RHEL from "installed" to "governed".
Each service is a fixed-scope engagement with defined deliverables and sign-off criteria — pulled directly from the Infizia services catalog.
Service · 01
RHEL Assessment & Readiness Review
Evaluate your current OS landscape — Windows Server, CentOS, Ubuntu, or legacy UNIX — and deliver a detailed migration roadmap with risk analysis, effort estimation, and TCO projections.
- Current State Infrastructure Inventory
- RHEL Compatibility Matrix
- Migration Priority Matrix (by workload criticality)
- TCO & ROI Analysis Report
Service · 02
RHEL Deployment & Migration
End-to-end migration of your server fleet to RHEL — bare metal, VMware, or cloud (AWS · Azure · GCP). Automated via Leapp Upgrade Framework, Ansible playbooks, and custom validation scripts.
- CentOS 7/8 → RHEL 8/9
- Oracle Linux → RHEL
- SLES / Ubuntu → RHEL
- RHEL 7/8 → RHEL 9 (in-place)
- AIX / Solaris → RHEL (re-platform)
Service · 03
Security Hardening & Compliance
Industry-standard security baselines and compliance configurations tailored to your regulatory framework — automated via OpenSCAP, SCAP Security Guide, Ansible STIG roles, and Red Hat Insights.
- CIS RHEL Benchmark (Level 1 & 2)
- DISA STIG for RHEL 8 / 9
- PCI-DSS hardening controls
- ISO 27001 technical controls
- NIST 800-53 / RMF alignment
Service · 04
Patch Management & Lifecycle Operations
Structured patching program from CVE triage to zero-downtime rolling updates — Red Hat Satellite Server deployment, canary rollouts, and subscription optimisation.
- Red Hat Satellite Server deployment
- Patch baseline (critical · important · moderate)
- Canary / staged rollout strategies
- CVE impact assessment and exception management
- Subscription management and license optimisation
Service · 05
RHEL on Cloud (AWS · Azure · GCP · Private)
Architect and deploy RHEL-based environments on cloud with proper subscription management, image hardening, and CI/CD integration — across all major hyperscalers and private virtualisation.
- AWS EC2 (RHEL AMIs · BYOS · PAYG)
- Azure Virtual Machines
- Google Compute Engine
- VMware vSphere (private cloud)
- OpenStack / KVM environments
Hardened to every framework that matters.
OpenSCAP + SCAP Security Guide + Ansible STIG roles + Red Hat Insights — automated, continuously enforced, and audit-reportable.

Four ways to start the RHEL conversation.
From a 2-week readiness review to a multi-quarter migration to ongoing managed operations — pick the shape that matches the stage of your RHEL journey.
Model 01
Assessment & Advisory
Current-state inventory, RHEL compatibility scoring, migration priority matrix, and TCO/ROI report. Outputs a phased plan with effort and risk per wave.
Model 02
Implementation Project
End-to-end fleet migration — pre-migration mapping, OS conversion or fresh install, app compatibility testing, post-migration validation, rollback plan.
Model 03
Managed RHEL Operations
Foundation tier (≤200 nodes) and up — patch management, compliance reporting, incident response, monthly service reviews. SLA-backed.
Model 04
Training & Enablement
RHEL Administration Fundamentals course — on-site or virtual, full lab environments, group discounts for 5+ attendees.
Standardised. Hardened. Governed.
RHEL stops being a server-by-server problem and becomes one auditable platform — patched on a calendar, hardened to a baseline, and tracked on one dashboard.
Outcome
−70% audit findings
Hardening applied consistently via OpenSCAP and Ansible STIG roles — the same baseline on every node, drift detected automatically.
Outcome
Zero-downtime patching
Canary rollouts and rolling updates via Red Hat Satellite — critical CVEs patched within the maintenance window, not the quarter.
Outcome
One platform, every server
CentOS, Oracle Linux, SLES, Ubuntu, AIX, Solaris — all consolidated onto a governed RHEL fleet on a defined timeline.
Outcome
−25% subscription cost
Subscription analysis and license optimisation — most fleets discover unused entitlements within the first 30 days of managed operations.
