Hardware certifications take the guesswork out of deployment. For CIOs it’s risk reduction, compliance, and faster time to value. For technical teams it means proven driver compatibility and fewer surprises.

Intel’s latest platform is built for the future, and Rocky Linux is ready to run it today.
