Choose the Combination of Support Options That’s Right for Your Organization

Technical Support Options

Essential Support

This service is tailored for organizations that require their software to be sourced from a commercial repository, ensuring guaranteed uptime and SLOs for updates, complemented by a basic support contract and up to 6 years of extended lifecycle for x.10 version.

Enhanced Support

This service addresses the requirements of organizations seeking enterprise-grade technical support for a diverse range of open-source software without the commitment to immediate, complex, and expensive support agreements.

 

Security Support

Extended Security Updates

This service is designed for organizations seeking to ensure long-term security and compliance of their FIPS-validated deployments. It is also ideal for those prioritizing stable and secure environments without having to upgrade to a new OS version frequently.

FIPS Packages for AlmaLinux

Do you develop and run AlmaLinux workloads for U.S. and Canadian governments or other highly regulated environments? If so, you need them to run on FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography. TuxCare provides FIPS-validated kernel and OpenSSL packages for AlmaLinux to any AlmaLinux users – not just our Enterprise Support customers – at no cost.
