Extended Lifecycle Support & Security Patches


Stay secure, compliant, and operational — even after vendor support ends.

Key Benefits

  • Stay Secure Without Upgrading
    Keep your systems protected with critical CVE patching — even after vendor support ends. No forced migrations. No security gaps.
  • Cut Costs vs. Vendor Add-ons
    Avoid expensive Red Hat ELS or Ubuntu ESM licenses. PARSEC delivers the same critical patch coverage — often at 50% less.
  • Extend the Life of Legacy Infrastructure
    Continue running stable, legacy OS environments that support your core applications — without compromise.
  • Maintain Regulatory Compliance
    Receive documentation with every patch to support internal and external audits. Maintain HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory alignment.
  • Backed by Real Linux Engineers
    Talk directly with Tier 3 support — not a scripted helpdesk. Fast, expert answers from a US-Based team that’s supported enterprise Linux for decades.
  • Eliminate forced upgrade timelines
    We deliver tested, validated patches on your schedule — with rollback instructions included. No automatic updates. No surprises.
  • Multi-Platform Coverage in One Contract
    Consolidate your Linux patching needs under one provider — even across Red Hat, CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE, and more.
