The value that my organization gained from the use of the product stems from the fact that we were able to use our email effectively, and we had only done a small deployment for the email servers.

We've improved ourselves via testing. 

When we want to create a new environment or test a new product, for example, if we have to deploy maybe testing passwords with high ability, we first try to deploy it. 

We prefer to use a CentOS platform for testing new implementations. Basically, we don't have to spend money and resources when we are not very secure in implementing a testing solution.

It's required for some of the applications we have. In order to run those applications, we have to have CentOS.

It's saved us a lot of money on licensing. 

It allows us to freely use and test open-source technologies and solutions. Without it we wouldn't have a server monitoring system, log management system, or many other services that we depend on.

It's good to have a stable server OS that many people understand in depth. It has easier to find CentOS internal experts than Microsoft Windows internal experts, for example.

It's one of two platforms that can work with the tools we use; without it, we couldn't do anything.

We just see it as an operating system to run our applications. We're in the media industry and we make a lot of TV programs and OTT items. We have developed backend applications that make, let's say, 10 locations happen or make OTT happen.

Everything is running on CentOS due to the fact that it's lightweight. It's not a huge overhead. It's not like Windows eating up a lot of CPU resources. 

We are going with CentOS due to minimalistic and stable approach during OS build preparation.

We use CentOS together with Apache for certificate verification. The platform has helped us to keep things simple and yet very secure, allowing us to meet the requirements with surgical precision.

• Scalability

• Security

• Performance

When a university or datacenter asked us about a certain amount of servers, we would study several models. As this four server system has the typical configuration (two LAN cards, remote management, two power supplies) the bidding, development and implementation process has been greatly simplified.

The solution has made our organization more secure than in previous releases.

Free OS for multiple application support, databases, and other tools. These included Drupal, Apache, and Zabbix.

Not really, as we didn't really test other distros.
