Amadeus Cloud Services, built on Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, delivers scalable platform to help
meet demands from growing data transaction volume
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that Amadeus, a leading provider
of technology solutions for the global travel industry, won the
2016 Red Hat Innovator of the Year award. They were selected as the
2016 Red Hat Innovator of the Year out of six finalists and
category winners for the 2016 Red Hat Innovation Awards after a
public vote.
Amadeus was recognized for its innovative use of Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform as part of a new cloud services
platform to help companies meet the increasingly complex demands of
travelers. Amadeus has reported they process more than 30,000
end-user transactions per second during peak operations. Finding
their data transaction demands increasing, many Amadeus customers
wanted a travel application that could run on-site locally or be
accessed through public, private, or hybrid cloud platforms.
With Amadeus experiencing requests coming from more than 12,000
infrastructure devices, Amadeus needed to create a powerful and
agile computing platform. To do this, Amadeus assessed how various
open source communities address infrastructure architecture and
design, including application containers. Amadeus determined Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform, with a lightweight container
architecture that natively integrates both Docker and Kubernetes in
an enterprise-class and supported platform, to be a great
foundation for its new application infrastructure. This new
platform, Amadeus Cloud Services, based on Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform, enables better customer service, increased
platform availability, streamlined operations, and reduced time to
market for new services.
The 2016 Red Hat Innovation Award category winners included
Acuity Systems, Amadeus, Atos, BSE, Genfare, and Paddy Power
Betfair. The category winners were selected by a panel of judges,
including: Carla Arend, program director, European Software, IDC;
Sean Michael Kerner, senior editor, eWEEK; Henry Peyret, principal
analyst, Forrester Research, Inc.; and Ashesh Badani, vice
president and general manager, OpenShift, Red Hat.
Since 2007, the Red Hat Innovation Awards program has recognized
the technological achievements of customers and partners who
demonstrate creative thinking, determined problem-solving, and
innovative uses of Red Hat technologies. Winners have included
leaders from around the world and across industries who are using
open source solutions to transform their organizations and enable
faster innovation.
