The new support service provides 24-7 support for problems with running Apache Web server or Stronghold Secure Web Server on Red Hat Linux servers. Enterprise-level service contracts have a guaranteed 1-hour response time for incidents that can be handled either over the phone or online. The service covers problems involving Red Hat Web server setup, configuration and troubleshooting. Apache Web server is one of the most commonly used Web server platforms, with more than half of the world's public Web servers being run on the software, according to Netcraft. Apache Web server ships standard with all Red Hat Linux distributions. Red Hat added the Stronghold Web product to its menu when it acquired C2Net Software in August. C2Net developed the Stronghold software as a highly secure Web server product based on the Apache Web server. The Web server software supports 128- bit encryption, as well as Secure Sockets Layer for securing Web connections, digital certificates for user authentication, and hardware encryption acceleration. Basic Apache and Stronghold support can be purchased on an annual contract basis for $695 per year, per server. Per- incident support is also available. A five-pack of calls costs $995 and a 15-pack goes for $2,495. Enterprise support, which includes round-the-clock support with guaranteed response times, comes in silver, gold and platinum levels, which cost $25,000, $60,000 and $75,000 per year, respectively.
