Global risk and information solutions provider
migrates to Red Hat-based infrastructure, powering new products and
services and accelerating time to market
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), leading provider of
open source solutions, today announced that TransUnion, a global
risk and information solutions provider, has migrated its
applications and systems from a mainframe environment to one partly
based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As part of TransUnion’s
technology transformation, the company worked closely with Red Hat
to move from mainframes to a more flexible environment.
TransUnion serves thousands of businesses and
millions of consumers while linking more than 30 petabytes of data.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux played a role in parts of TransUnion’s
transformation, employing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform (JBoss EAP), Red Hat JBoss Web Server and Red Hat
Satellite, with the latter driving simplified automation and
management of the new environment.
By basing elements of their new environment on
Red Hat solutions, TransUnion has:
- Reduced its number of data centers
and eliminated a third-party disaster recovery contract.- Supported
its new servers, which are provisioned in hours instead of weeks.-
Improved application availability, with the company currently
out-performing service level agreements (SLAs) for its
applications.
