Red Hat Developer Toolset enables developers to compile applications once and deploy across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 6 is now also accessible across heterogeneous computing environments, with support for x86 servers as well as IBM architectures with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Power and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for z Systems.

Available during the Extended Life Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the ELS Add-On delivers certain critical-impact security ﬁxes and selected urgent priority bug ﬁxes for the last minor release.

"For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the ELS Add-On covers the IBM z Systems (LinuxONE) and the x86 architecture, both 32-bit and 64-bit variants"

17 LinuxONE cores now handle workload that previously required 204 x86 cores

75% The Met Office was using Oracle-based systems, mostly running reduction in Oracle on distributed Linux servers, to handle the post-processing of data licensing costs from its weather supercomputer. By consolidating all of these distributed database systems onto LinuxONE, Oracle licensing costs have been cut by approximately 75%. Major simplification of the distributed server "By consolidating distributed commodity servers, you can save a landscape achieved great deal of money." — Martyn Catlow, portfolio lead for centralised IT infrastructure, the Met Office LinuxONE Community Open Access
