Nordic technology innovator powers its datacenter with Red Hat
Storage and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Goodtech ASA, a leading Nordic
technology and engineering company, has implemented Red Hat Storage and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux in its datacenter to address the company's
evolving storage requirements with an open, highly flexible and scalable
solution.
Goodtech develops and delivers projects, services and products creating
business value for customers within a number of industries and sectors
including manufacturing, energy, green technology and infrastructure.
Among Goodtech's customers in the Nordic region are industry leaders
such as Astra Zeneca, LKAB, Vattenfall, Statoil and Norsk Hydro.
Prior to the implementation, Goodtech experienced scalability challenges
as a result of having a widespread and heterogenous IT environment that
featured a range of old and costly storage solutions. With vast data
volumes being managed by Goodtech and high demands on accessibility and
security, the company was looking for a scalable solution with open
standards, based on proven technology and from a renowned vendor. Red
Hat Storage met their needs perfectly.
Implementing Red Hat Storage enables Goodtech to lead the way towards
the next generation of enterprise storage by using disruptive, open
software-defined storage with a high degree of flexibility, scalability
and cost-effectiveness. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Goodtech receives
a platform designed to address the rapid evolution of the modern
datacenter enabling Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with a high degree of automation. The Red
Hat solutions deployment affirms Goodtech's IT strategy to implement
solutions based on open standards with enterprise-level services and
support.

Anders Hellquist, infrastructure architect, Goodtech
"At Goodtech we take the long view on IT and look beyond traditional
solutions. Using proprietary solutions that address immediate needs
posed a long-term risk for us in terms of being locked in with a vendor
that cannot deliver on tomorrow's requirements. From this standpoint
enterprise-class open source is the smart choice. Red Hat's reputation
and ability to deliver on our long-term needs makes going with Red Hat
Storage a natural choice."
