Summit 2014
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Jorge Juarez Acevedo, an IT manager with
Banco Azteca, has been named the 2014 Red Hat Certified Professional of
the Year. Juarez Acevedo was recognized for leveraging his Red Hat
Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), Red Hat Certified Engineer
(RHCE), Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA), and Red
Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist (RHCDS) certification skills to
enable the Red Hat solutions in use at Banco Azteca and add business
value for the company. Banco Azteca is one of the largest banks in
Mexico, and has operations in Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, El
Salvador and Brazil. With more than 6.8 million savings accounts, Banco
Azteca offers payroll systems, personal loans, credit cards, as well as
car loans.
The Red
Hat Certified Professional of the Year Award recognizes a current
Red Hat Certified Professional who demonstrates ingenuity, hard work,
and expertise. Red Hat received submissions from Red Hat Certified
Professionals around the world, sharing innovative and outstanding
stories around enhancing IT environments with their Red Hat certified
skills. Juarez Acevedo stood out for overseeing several key Red Hat
solution projects for Banco Azteca.
Juarez Acevedo was first introduced to Red Hat Enterprise Linux four
years ago when Banco Azteca consolidated multiple existing platforms -
including Sun Solaris, HP UX and AIX - and standardized on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. Upon successful completion of the UNIX to Linux
migration, Juarez Acevedo helped Banco Azteca realize tangible benefits
for their day to day operations.
Additionally, Juarez Acevedo was responsible for migrating several
application server technologies in an effort to move from disparate IBM
Websphere, Sun One, Oracle Application Server, and Apache Tomcat
deployments, to a standardized Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform deployment. He also successfully oversaw the migration of Banco
Azteca's authentication platform to Red Hat Directory Server.
Currently, Juarez Acevedo is testing additional Red Hat products
including Red Hat Satellite, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red
Hat's cloud offerings. He will be recognized in April at the 2014
Red Hat Summit.
