Enterprise Linux FAQ: Open Source Solutions South Africa 2026

Legacy systems slow performance, increase maintenance costs, limit scalability, and create security vulnerabilities. Modern Linux infrastructure (RHEL, Ubuntu Server, Debian) enables flexibility, reduces operational expenses, improves security posture, and supports sustainable business growth. Rev2IT specializes in legacy system migration with minimal downtime and comprehensive testing.

Disconnected platforms fragment information, causing inefficiency and duplicate work. Open-source integration solutions eliminate silos, enabling data accuracy, seamless collaboration, and enterprise-wide visibility. Our integration services connect systems using APIs, middleware, and DevOps practices to drive better decision-making across your organization.

Regulatory standards like POPIA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS evolve rapidly. Outdated security systems struggle to maintain compliance. Enhanced cybersecurity frameworks, vulnerability management, regular audits, and Linux hardening protect sensitive data and reduce risk. Rev2IT's R2SecuViro provides encrypted, isolated systems for maximum compliance and security.

Rigid solutions can't keep pace with market changes. Flexible open-source architectures and containerization (Docker, LXC) support growth, innovation, and business alignment without vendor lock-in. Our XaaS (Everything as a Service) approach redesigns your requirements as flexible, scalable services that evolve with your business.

Technological obsolescence occurs when systems become outdated and unsupported. Digital lag is the delay in adopting modern technologies. Together they reduce efficiency, increase cybersecurity risks, raise costs, and weaken competitiveness. Regular technology assessments and Linux modernization keep your infrastructure current and secure.
