It supports single- and dual-processor systems with up to 16Gb of RAM and can be used for a wide variety of tasks: from basic network services to mid-level departmental servers. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES has essentially the same capabilities as Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, but supports fewer hardware platforms and works with less powerful systems. Enterprise Linux ES has Basic and Standard levels of support.
Typical applications of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES include:
- corporate web-infrastructure;
- basic network services (DHCP, DNS, Firewall, etc.);
- postal and print services;
- File servers
