The Californer/10241200

PALO ALTO, Calif. ~ TuxCare, the enterprise solutions division of CloudLinux, has announced a strategic partnership with Tokyo-based Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd. (TYO: 4498), a subsidiary of Softbank Technology Corp. Through the collaboration, Cybertrust Japan will become the exclusive reseller of TuxCare's AlmaCare Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux OS users in the region.

The partnership comes as Cybertrust Japan has gained significant market share of pre-installed Linux distributions on industrial PCs and elsewhere. The company has also gained expertise via its MIRACLE LINUX offering, a free Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone specifically used in Japan as a CentOS Linux compatible distribution.

With CentOS Linux 7 set to end its maintenance updates on June 30, 2024, many organizations throughout Japan are in need of a successor Linux OS and smooth migration planning. Cybertrust Japan and TuxCare will cooperate to offer TuxCare's unique AlmaCare support options beginning June 1, 2023.

The AlmaCare Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux provides up to 16 years of guaranteed vulnerability coverage for all packages as well as fault analysis and technical support in Japanese. Additionally, customers can choose to receive live patches that enable kernel updates without shutting down the OS, and support for FIPS 140-3, the latest information processing standard developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
