CIQ Releases Compatibility Catalog for Rocky Linux
The company behind Rocky Linux is making an open catalog available to developers, hobbyists, and other contributors, so they can verify and publish compatibility with the CIQ lineup.
CIQ, the founding company and support provider for Rocky Linux, RLC Pro, RLC Pro AI, and RLC Pro Hardened, has released the CIQ Compatibility Catalog (C3).
C3 will enable vendors and developers to self-attest or certify that their products are supported by the CIQ lineup to address the need for validated infrastructure in high-performance computing.
There are three levels of compatibility insurance: Community Compatibility (open to anyone in the Rocky Linux ecosystem at no cost), Vendor Verified (provides a structured validation path for ISVs, hardware vendors, and AI platform providers), and CIQ Certified (for organizations and vendors that need formal certification).
This catalog aims to eliminate uncertainty in enterprise purchasing by ensuring that hardware and software stacks are compatible with Rocky Linux, RLC Pro, RLC Pro AI, and RLC Pro Hardened.
In an official press release, Arthur Tyde, CIQ Senior Vice President of Global Business Development, CIQ and Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) Board Chair, said, "Before you purchase your hardware, you need to know your operating system supports it.” Tyde continues, “C3 gives the entire ecosystem a fast, low-friction way to answer it, starting with Community Compatibility at no cost, and scaling to CIQ Certified for those who need the highest level of assurance.”
The Open Compatibility Catalog for Rocky Linux clearly explains how the process works, so you can get started immediately.
