RALEIGH, N.C. – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), has announced that the Ministry of Electricity & Water (MEW) in Kuwait plans to migrate its datacenter infrastructure from Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
MEW has selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the basis for its long-term IT strategy based on the platform’s ease of use, performance, scalability and security, and plans to run its mission-critical systems on the platform.
MEW serves more than 800,000 consumers with a 12 gigawatt power generation grid. Its decision to migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux comes as MEW aligns its strategic IT infrastructure to meet Kuwait’s need for increased power capacity.
