Global foreign exchange supports fast-growing portfolio of web-based applications for new services

UAE Exchange has successfully created a scalable, secure, robust and high-performance datacenter environment by consolidating its IT infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The centralized solution has enabled the Exchange to more rapidly scale its operations and open new branches across the globe and to also achieve the ISO 27001 certification for information security management.

Sarath Chandra, CIO, UAE Exchange says, “The value of Red Hat Consulting lies in the team’s ability to expertly aid the implementation while conveying best practices. The additional knowledge provided by Red Hat’s industry experts helped us in a number of areas such as configuration, fine tuning, performance management and security. It was also a pride point for us as we could then match our systems to global benchmarks.”

“UAE Exchange’s success is a perfect example of how the right IT investments can be turned into a platform for business development and innovation. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has offered the stability, flexibility, security and performance necessary to power UAE Exchange’s aggressive expansion”, comments Jim Totton, vice president and general manager, Platform Business Unit, Red Hat.
