NIC Express 1.0 is a hardware and vendor-neutral trunking solution for load balancing network traffic across two or more network connections, thereby increasing throughput and fault tolerance. NIC Express also increases fault tolerance by searching the network in addition to the server. It locates both physical and logical faults and reroutes traffic, eliminating single points of failure between any two endpoints on the network. Version 2.4 and higher of the kernel are supported, and the NIC Express works with any 10/100/1000 Ethernet NIC and any layer 2/3/4 switch.

Red Hat announced enterprise-level offerings for its Red Hat Network Services, under the Workgroup heading. The new Workgroup features and services include system grouping, allowing administrators to group workload-focused systems together for management purposes; multiple administrators, so that rights to specific systems can be spread across large organizations; and system set managers, allowing actions to be applied to sets of systems instead of single systems. In addition, the Workgroup Service subscription allows access to the network proxy server and the network satellite.
