KernelCare Enterprise Overview

What is KernelCare Enterprise?

TuxCare’s live patching solution, KernelCare Enterprise, enables organizations to automate Linux vulnerability patching without needing to restart systems or experience downtime to apply patches – allowing them to accelerate patch timelines while eliminating patching-related maintenance windows. While other live patching solutions are typically limited to a single Linux distribution and come with a heftier price tag, KernelCare Enterprise delivers patches to all popular Linux distributions. Plus, KernelCare Enterprise features seamless interoperability with vulnerability scanners, security sensors, and automation and reporting tools. In addition to KernelCare Enterprise, TuxCare offers live patching solutions for shared libraries, databases, virtual machine environments, and IoT devices – so organizations can keep their Linux ecosystem updated with the latest patches without needing to waste time and resources planning for inconvenient reboots and downtime.

Product Description

KernelCare Enterprise live patches Linux kernels & shared libraries without reboots and does note create downtime or service interruptions.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Other live patching solutions are typically part of a costly support package tied to a specific Linux distribution and only work for that one distribution. TuxCare’s live patching, on the other hand, costs significantly less than these single-distro offerings while being able to live patch all popular enterprise Linux distributions – as well as shared libraries, databases, IoT devices, and virtual machine environments.
