FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, the nonprofit that stewards the free and community-governed open source enterprise Linux distribution, today announced that CloudLinux and its sister company TuxCare have renewed their platinum-level sponsorship, continuing the commitment of $1M annually. Both companies are longtime contributors that offer key support for further advancements within the community.

“The ongoing sponsorship from CloudLinux and TuxCare has played a key role in nurturing our community and making AlmaLinux such an appealing choice for an ever-growing number of organizations,” said benny Vasquez, chair of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation. “On behalf of our board of directors, I’d like to thank CloudLinux and TuxCare for yet another year of unwavering support as a platinum-level foundation sponsor.”

Dedicated to enhancing the security, stability and performance of Linux web servers, CloudLinux provides solutions that are trusted by hosting providers, enterprises and institutions from around the world.

TuxCare is on a mission to reduce the world’s risk of cyber exploitation. Through its automated live security patching solutions and extended lifecycle support services for Linux and open-source software and languages, TuxCare allows thousands of organizations to rapidly remediate vulnerabilities for increased security and compliance.
