LIC will now be able to completely migrate all its mission critical business applications to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, across all its locations in India and abroad.

LIC will deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux across its 2,048 branches, 100 divisional offices, seven zonal offices, head office, subsidiary offices and overseas locations. The Linux deployment will provide LIC with a uniform, finely tuned operating system environment, along with security and integrity for its core application software.

The implementation will also include utilisation of enterprise-layered solutions through Linux Servers for management, provisioning and monitoring of Red Hat Network.

LIC develops all its software in-house, at its Software Development Centre (SDC) based in Mumbai. The migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux will allow LIC's IT department the freedom and flexibility to focus on development of its core business applications, leaving the management of the operating system to Red Hat.
