Security 
Security for Red Hat Enterprise Linux begins with a core feature known as Security-Enhanced 
Linux (SELinux). Co-developed between Red Hat and the u.S. government’s national Security 
Agency (NSA), SELinux delivers a strong and flexible MAC framework to enforce role-based 
access control and multi-level security. SELinux support has been woven into all parts of the 
platform, including virtualization, to provide critical guest separation regardless of the guest 
operating system. With extensive application policies and a complete review of system privi-
leges, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 makes using SELinux easier than ever.
In addition to SELinux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes system firewalls, audit capabilities, 
and system package and file integrity verification tools for a complete security architecture  
that covers deployment models ranging from Internet-facing servers to trusted computers. 
Backing up the core technology is the Red Hat Security Response Team, recognized as industry 
leaders for addressing security vulnerabilities. In summary, Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides 
an unmatched security environment for customers and their applications.
Agility across physical, virtual, and cloud 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows businesses to deploy physical, virtual, and cloud computing 
within their datacenters. With KVM integrated directly into the kernel, Red Hat Enterprise  
Linux 6 technologies span all environments, reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and 
minimizing administration overhead while leveraging operating platform skills. Integrated vir-
tualization enables interoperable physical and virtual deployments, while fine-grained control 
of compute resources (CPu, memory, networking, and I/O) allow businesses to manage applica-
tion or guest service-level agreements (SLAs). In addition, power management enhancements 
reduce system carbon footprints.
