Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions to the enterprise, today announced that CitiStreet and
Priceline.com are achieving high performance and savings from the
combination of Red Hat and JBoss solutions. These enterprise companies
have switched to Red Hat solutions from proprietary software in order to
deliver mission-critical applications and services without the concerns
of performance, cost or stability-related issues.
"Priceline.com and CitiStreet are prime examples of how the open source
model and the combination of Red Hat and JBoss solutions benefit the
enterprise," said Tim Yeaton, Senior Vice President of Enterprise
Solutions, Red Hat. "We are proud to work with these companies as a
trusted partner to help them realize the value of open source and
achieve big performance gains."
PRICELINE.COM
Priceline.com regularly sees millions of page views and thousands of
bookings per day. As a leading Internet-based travel service provider,
downtime and outages are not an option. The company shifted from
proprietary server solutions to Red Hat and open source solutions in
order to provide the highest-performing services and applications
possible and to realize cost savings. Priceline.com also evaluated JBoss
due to the company's predisposition toward developing in Java and to
potentially generate further savings based on the open source model.
Today, a significant number of Priceline.com’s
servers run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Network Satellite
Server and JBoss Application Server with Tomcat and Apache web servers.
Despite the millions of page views and thousands of bookings each day,
the company's overall application availability runs greater than 99.97
percent and hits 100 percent for quarters at a time. With Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, Priceline.com has realized less security patching
requirements than with some proprietary application servers.
Through a series of initiatives, like the company's JBoss
implementation, Priceline.com IT has been successful in proportionally
reducing its relevant domestic operational IT costs for this type of
infrastructure, despite increases in product complexity and product unit
volumes. Forward-looking, Xen support and virtualization technologies
are extremely attractive to Priceline.com. The company has been testing
Xen in its development environment to reduce hardware costs and lower
TCO.
"Working with Red Hat and JBoss as a single company helps lower our
costs and increases our uptime by providing a complete software stack,
from the operating system through the application layer. It reduces the
time required for troubleshooting, configuration complexity, and
contracts and vendor management," said Ron Rose, CIO, Priceline.com. "We
consider Red Hat and JBoss both to have great products that we respect.
Now that they are combined, we can’t wait to
benefit from their future cooperative developments."
CITISTREET
CitiStreet is one of the largest and most experienced global benefits
providers. In terms of participants, the company ranks second in its
business, serving over 11 million participants from corporations,
government agencies, multi-employers and unions. CitiStreet's assets
under administration total $200 billion.
CitiStreet faced increasing volume on its web applications, both from an
expanding client base and increased utilization of the web by the plan
participants they service. An earlier migration—from
a C-based solution to Enterprise Java—had
been successful, but now required ongoing improvement. CitiStreet needed
to future-proof its web infrastructure and stay on budget.
The potential cost savings, combined with their experience with Red Hat,
proved to CitiStreet that open source software was ready for prime time.
The company decided to implement both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss
Application Server on HP ProLiant DL580 and DL360 series servers.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Application Server are now corporate
standards at the global benefits provider. From implementation to
deployment, the quality of support, cost savings and reliability of Red
Hat and JBoss have been consistent and beneficial for CitiStreet. Moving
to Red Hat Enterprise Linux enabled CitiStreet to also save on licensing
costs. Now that all core revenue-generating applications, such as their
defined contribution and health and welfare applications, are running on
JBoss Application Server, CitiStreet estimated it has saved and will
continue to save hundreds of thousands of dollars every year through
cost-efficient hardware resource deployment.
"CitiStreet depends on Red Hat and JBoss for our operations every day,"
said Barry Strasnick, CIO, CitiStreet. "We have realized the value of
open source for the enterprise, especially in the areas of cost savings,
performance and security."
