Security, customer satisfaction and cost-effectiveness all factors in
the move from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that PayPros, a leader in integrated payment
processing, has migrated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to create their
next generation payments service platform, PayPros Innovo. Previously
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the move allows PayPros to continue
to enjoy a secure payment processing system and reduced total cost of
ownership, while being able to take advantage of enhancements included
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 provides PayPros with a secure,
cost-effective and stable platform that meets the company's unique
business needs in an efficient, scalable package. More than 55,000
depend on PayPros to deliver customized, flawless integration of payment
processing, which requires a high level of security and availability. As
such, PayPros is relying on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6's certified and
deeply integrated security features, allowing PayPros to maintain the
security of their processes. Additionally, PayPros chose to base their
payment engine platform, Innovo, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux because of
the low total cost of ownership and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6's
reputation for stability and reliability — key requirements for a
business based around an "always-on" system.
"Given our positive history with Red Hat, and the many features of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6, we feel confident we've migrated to that ideal
operating system for our needs," said Joe Monteil, chief information
officer, PayPros. "Our solution is sold to businesses through
relationships with software developers. Our payment service platform is
vital to supporting and growing these relationships. The security,
performance and throughput we get from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
results in a shared experience all the way down our value chain."
PayPros is an independent enterprise focused on integrated payment
processing. Businesses depend on PayPros to take ownership of payments —
from initial integration to post-deployment support — ensuring the
customized, flawless integration of payment processing into their
software applications. PayPros' system processes millions of
transactions annually.
