Acxiom Corporation has selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the standard operating system for its grid processing environment. Acxiom's grid infrastructure is designed to improve efficiency, maintain consistency across its systems and logically partition resources to meet its clients' increasing demands. With a broad ecosystem of certified hardware and software solutions, Red Hat Enterprise Linux enabled Acxiom to make hardware choices independent of the operating system.
Additionally, Acxiom utilizes Red Hat Network for management and procurement of the various instances of Red Hat Enterprise Linux in its grid computing environment. Acxiom has also utilized a Red Hat Technical Account Manager to assist in managing its Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based systems and for expert advice and hands-on training during new implementations.
In 2004, Acxiom turned to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform to leverage its high-performance middleware solutions. Today, the company continues to expand its use of JBoss Enterprise Middleware solutions to build its service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment.
