Arkelis Messaging Solution Now Operates on Red Hat Linux Solutions
RALEIGH, N.C. & MECHELEN, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, and Arkelis NV, a fully owned subsidiary of SWIFT, the global
provider of secure financial messaging services, today announced that
financial institutions can deploy Arkelis' Advanced Messaging Hub (AMH)
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to manage significant volumes of incoming
and outgoing messaging traffic more effectively.
The Arkelis AMH solution was previously available with other proprietary
software platforms. Red Hat and Arkelis worked closely together to port
the AMH solution to Linux-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating
system.
Rich Feldmann, director, financial services industry, Red Hat, Inc.,
said, "The combined Red Hat and Arkelis solution gives financial
institutions the reliability and performance they absolutely require to
run their mission-critical messaging applications — all with the
cost-effectiveness of Linux-based solutions."
Hans Cobben, Chief Executive Officer, Arkelis, said, "Making AMH
available on Red Hat's Linux platform is another important strategic
step for Arkelis toward deploying highly performing and technologically
advanced core messaging infrastructure for top-tier financial
institutions at a very competitive TCO level. It allows Arkelis and its
customers to respond in an agile manner to an ever more volatile
economic context thriving on a cost-effective roll out of scalable
messaging infrastructure."
Arkelis' Outsourced Messaging service is focused on the needs of
multi-entity, multinational, global financial institutions which have
substantial volumes of messages as well as high availability and
operational requirements. Arkelis' Advanced Messaging Hub (AMH) is a
highly scalable, customisable, multi-network messaging hub. With Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, AMH customers can take advantage of the cost
advantages associated with running high-performing Linux-based operating
system platforms.
