Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), leader mondiale nella fornitura di soluzioni open source, ha annunciato che l’European University Institute (EUI) ha adottato Red Hat Enterprise Linux e JBoss Enterprise Middleware jBPM per la sua infrastruttura IT. Aperto nel 1976 per fornire formazione accademica avanzata, l’EUI offre uno dei più completi ed estesi programmi di dottorato e post-dottorato del mondo in scienze sociali a candidati provenienti da oltre 60 nazioni.
L’infrastruttura IT dell’istituto consiste in server RHEL sui quali girano alcune applicazioni mission-critical dell’università tra cui database Oracle e tool ETL di Pentaho. L’EUI non esclude di spostare in futuro altri componenti chiave dell’infrastruttura su soluzioni open source.
“Si tratta del nostro primo passo verso un ambiente open source”, dichiara Michael Goerke, Computing Service in EUI. “Un’esperienza assolutamente positiva che ha confermato le nostre aspettative: i prodotti open source sono non solo convenienti, ma assicurano livelli di affidabilità e stabilità a volte più elevati rispetto a quelli proprietari”.
L’EUI ha implementato la soluzione Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Middleware jBPM, una flessibile suite di Business Process Management (BPM) che viene utilizzata per la gestione del workflow e, in particolare, per distribuire le informazioni necessarie per coordinare i servizi resi alle persone associate con l’Istituto. Il sistema – che riceve i dati da fonti eterogenee quali il database degli studenti e quello degli dipendenti - compila una sorta di ‘master record’ delle identità elettroniche dei presenti, consentendo all’istituto di sapere come le risorse vengono impiegate e fornendo i dati necessari ai sistemi di sicurezza.
“Come molte realtà del settore accademico, il costo ha rivestito un’importanza cruciale nella scelta della soluzione”, continua Goerke. “Tuttavia non potevamo scendere a compromessi su servizio ed expertise, avevamo bisogno di poter contare sulla competenza di un team di professionisti per casi eccezionali. E’ questo il valore che Red Hat porta all’implementazione, i team di supporto dell’azienda ci assicurano assistenza ai massimi livelli e ci hanno aiutati a integrare l’intero sistema”.
“L’European University Institute rappresenta un’altra delle realtà accademiche che ha voluto migrare dal vendor lock-in delle tecnologie proprietarie a una soluzione open source e in particolare a Red Hat per la sua flessibilità e affidabilità”, commenta Gianni Anguilletti, Country Manager Red Hat Italy. “Siamo molto contenti di poter annoverare tra i nostri clienti un ente di tale prestigio che ha saputo riconoscere e apprezzare i livelli di qualità e l’eccellente supporto che ci contraddistinguono”.
