This e-book discusses the results of a Red Hat® survey on Linux®

market trends in 2025, with a focus on how the telecommunications

industry is leveraging enterprise Linux distributions optimized for

hybrid and multicloud environments. The survey found that 54% of

organizations, including telcos, prefer this approach, citing portability,

availability of features, and support quality as key factors for

modernizing their network infrastructure and deploying 5G services.

The e-book also highlights security and compliance as key priorities

for telco operators when integrating a Linux distribution with their

cloud strategy, which is critical for running carrier-grade workloads

and ensuring regulatory adherence.
