Red Hat announced that InfoCamere, an organization
responsible for managing the IT systems that connect and secure over 100
Italian Chambers of Commerce, relies on Red Hat and JBoss solutions for
flexibility, reliability and ease of use for its mission-critical systems.
InfoCamere's IT infrastructure, covering all 300 local
offices, must ensure that its users, including administrations, companies and
individuals, have immediate access to documents, information and legal data
stored in the Chambers' archives. When InfoCamere began developing its first
Internet platform in 2000, it utilized Red Hat Linux 7.2 in both testing and
production environments. After demonstrating high levels of reliability, the
ability to succeed in critical production environments and flexibility with an
extensive application ecosystem, InfoCamere decided to expand its use of Red
Hat solutions to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform.
"As evidence of the maturity of the solution and the
trust that we place in Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems are used throughout
our internal heterogeneous IT architecture," said Corrado Claut, system
and architecture management at InfoCamere. "We use Red Hat extensively
throughout our architecture for not only flexibility and compatibility, but
also for the performance levels and advanced support services that provide
great reliability and real business advantage for us."
Today, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is used on all of
InfoCamere's mail systems and is the main production platform for many of the
websites that the organization runs for the Italian Chambers of Commerce. Many
of the company's Java applications also run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a
combination of JBoss and Tomcat application servers.
"In addition to our systems that run our internal mail
and communications for the Chambers of Commerce, we use Red Hat and JBoss
solutions to support our PEC (Posta Elettronic Certificata) solution that
digitally delivers legal documents that must comply with rigid requirements and
extremely high service levels," said Claut. "Red Hat solutions,
including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform,
offer compliance, 24x7 reliable support service, availability of 99.8 percent
and even more benefits, making them an excellent fit for our needs."
Red Hat Enterprise Linux also provides the reliable platform
for InfoCamere's Legaldoc, a document-archiving service used for the reception,
signature, time stamping and conservation of electronic documents that offers
significant cost, space and time savings. The organization's service for
collecting HASH signature documents relies on Red Hat solutions for
reliability, scalability and security. InfoCamere's Oracle-based database
servers are also installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems to achieve
installation and maintenance cost savings.
"JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is used widely
throughout the company," said Claut. "As the technology expands, we
have increased its presence on our systems. We use JBoss solutions for the
significant cost savings, expanded performance and ease of installation and
management. We're also beginning migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5."
InfoCamere has also leveraged Red Hat Training offerings and
boasts two employees who have achieved Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)
certification to expand InfoCamere's in-house knowledge of Red Hat solutions.
