CDLAN creates virtual platform to deliver advanced SaaS services and
reduces its technology infrastructure cost by 60% with Red Hat
solutions versus proprietary alternatives
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that CDLAN, an Italian telecommunications
operator and provider of value-added ICT services, has deployed Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization to create a virtual platform for the
provisioning of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to its customers.
CDLAN provides value-added ICT services to medium-to-large organizations
operating in a variety of sectors, including finance, professional
services, broadcast media and telecommunications. With plans to offer
its clients maximum performance and reliability at competitive prices,
CDLAN has made use of open source technology. Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization was CDLAN's most cost-effective solution in the market
that also provided scalability, performance and reliability benefits. It
will be used as a basis for CDLAN's next-generation datacenter, where it
will provide a SaaS platform to its customer base. Applications
available via its SaaS platform are enterprise resource planning systems
(ERP), email and e-learning systems.
"In a difficult economic climate, it is necessary to pay greater
attention to what our customers need from CDLAN's technology
infrastructure," said Corrado Del Po, managing director of CDLAN.
"Reducing investment and maintenance costs while maintaining reliability
might seem to be contradictory goals, however Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization, in conjunction with Red Hat's collaboration and
excellent support, has enabled us to achieve the best possible
technology fit as well as cost for our infrastructure."
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization has reduced CDLAN's overall technology
infrastructure costs by 60 percent since deployed as compared with
comparable proprietary solutions. The organization also benefits from
higher levels of reliability and stability, thanks to the simplification
of its architecture.
