Complex distributed IT environments fueling
greater need for application, data, and services integration
capabilities
RED HAT SUMMIT 2015 – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the
world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced
that leading global companies, including AMD, American Product
Distributors, Avianca, Color Line, and Telegraph Media Group, have
deployed Red Hat's open source integration technology to become
more agile and competitive in the fast-paced digital
marketplace.
Today's IT environments are more distributed and complex than
ever before, presenting unique and difficult challenges for
integration professionals. Applications, data, and services spread
across multiple footprints and formats must be connected.
To help address these challenges, several leading organizations
have recently deployed Red Hat's open source integration
technologies to help revitalize and transform their business—from
cutting costs and the time it takes to bring new innovations to
market, to increasing agility and competitiveness, including:
- AMD: Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD) is no stranger to speed. From increasing the processing speed
of the chips it designs to accelerating the time-to-market for new
products, the semiconductor company is always looking for ways to
achieve even greater results. Faced with a growing need for faster
and more accurate data transmission between applications used in
engineering facilities around the world, AMD turned to Red Hat for
help, deploying JBoss Fuse on its existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux
platform. By migrating AMD's data transfers to JBoss Fuse, the
company has improved the accuracy and speed of delivery of critical
information to facilities anywhere in the world, enabling the
company to bring products to market even faster.
- American Product Distributors:
Customization is a way of life for American Product Distributors
(APD). Not only does the company provide custom build procurement
solutions to its clients on a regular basis, but when it came time
to replace its e-commerce platform with a more scalable and
cost-effective alternative, the company wanted to create something
that could not easily be replicated in the marketplace. The company
built its eLink Gateway solution on Red Hat JBoss Middleware, using
JBoss Fuse to integrate internal environments and customer systems
alike. In addition to JBoss Fuse, APD took advantage of several
other enterprise-grade open source offerings from Red Hat to build
a truly automated system for its electronic product catalog and
order fulfillment business, reducing the time to onboard new
customers as well as its time to market.
- Avianca: Long-term planning has
helped Latin America's oldest airline remain competitive. With an
eye toward supporting business objectives, Avianca revamped its
integration environment using JBoss Fuse to support four main
critical business applications and provide fully standardized
services to its customers, regardless of location or airline, and
integrate new airlines into the group more quickly and efficiently.
As a result, the company expects to reduce the time and effort
required to integrate and standardize a new airline company into
the group by 50 percent.
- Color Line: Frustrated by a lack
of flexibility and being locked into an uncertain future with its
existing integration platform, European cruise and transport leader
Color Line turned to Red Hat for relief. The company migrated to
JBoss Fuse, implementing the open standards-based integration
platform enterprise-wide, and as a result, gained the flexibility
it sought to make integration a more strategic part of its overall
IT landscape and to achieve visibility into its many data
systems/applications, to reduce overall risk.
- Telegraph Media Group: With the
advent of digital communications, news and media companies have
reinvented themselves to remain competitive and reach their
customers on a variety of platforms. U.K.-based Telegraph Media
Group (TMG), one of the world's most respected media companies,
moved to a digital-first strategy that makes the creation and
dissemination of digital content its first priority. Using JBoss
Fuse, TMG has created an integration platform that makes it easier
to introduce compelling new digital content to its audiences,
quickly and cost-effectively, enabling the company to respond to
the global news agenda and give its readers new insights into
unfolding situations in content formats that are easy to consume
and interact with.

Mike Piech, vice president, Middleware, Red Hat
“Having an IT environment that is fast, efficient, and
flexible—regardless of where applications and systems are
deployed—can make all the difference when it comes to quickly
responding to changing market demands, expanding business needs,
and pressure from competitors. Red Hat provides the integration
capabilities that enable this, and the success of each of these
customers is a testament to the power of technologies like JBoss
Fuse to ignite enterprise integration initiatives.”
Randy Higginbotham, senior manager of IT architecture, AMD
“In our industry, it's all about getting to market fast so we
can put our industry-leading technology into the hands of our
customers. We can't have our engineers waiting around for data to
show up. The ability of JBoss Fuse to virtually eliminate batch
delays helps us accomplish just that.”
Cy Kennedy, chief executive officer, American Product
Distributors
“The transition to the new eLink Gateway system significantly
diminished the amount of time it takes for us to onboard a new
customer, which is a great benefit to the company. Our goal was to
create an innovative model that couldn't be replicated in the
marketplace, and the Red Hat solution met that challenge.”
Juliana Ceballos, architecture and development director,
Avianca
“JBoss Fuse was astonishing from the presentation stage, but it
was during the pilot test when we truly realized the capacity of
the tool and the technology. JBoss Fuse was 10 times faster than
any of its competitors we evaluated, and we only needed a laptop to
run it on.”
Gade Gorbitz, chief information officer, Color Line
“We are not only able to save money as a result of migrating
from our previous proprietary solution to Red Hat JBoss Fuse, but
we've gained a trusted partner who understands our business and is
willing to work alongside us throughout the process to help make
our integration initiatives successful.”
Toby Wright, chief technology officer, Telegraph Media Group
“The challenge for TMG was how to bite the bullet on an
extensive program of rewiring system integrations, while at the
same time continuing to deliver new revenue-generating products at
the right cost.”
