Red Hat stated that the Ministry selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux for reliability and heightened performance, and is utilizing the solution as the main platform for many of its critical applications, including its ‘Service Personale Tesoro’ (SPT) application, which runs on Italian government websites.
The Italian Ministry’s other significant enterprise applications such as accounting packages for generating payslips, production databases, including Oracle and MySQL, are also running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Marcello Niceforo, executive director of integrated IT systems service for Ministry of Economics and Revenues, said: It was vital for us to find a reliable solution that would be able to provide us with a cutting-edge solution, bringing together the highest security and advanced performance. We found all of these benefits with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Gianni Anguilletti, country sales manager at Red Hat Italy, said: In a time of digital democracy, the internet channel plays a key role for any public body. To have the Ministry choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the foundation for many of its web activities is a testament to the quality of our offer.
