Orange County Public Schools Gives Red Hat on SAP an A+

Industry: Local government/education

Geography: Florida

Business Challenge: Running on a costly AIX server that required an expensive maintenance contract and was close to end-of-life, frustrating OCPS’s IT department and draining taxpayer money

Migration Path: SAP on AIX to SAP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux; Domain Name Server on Windows to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Software: SAP running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Hardware: HP Superdome and HP BL460s and BL860s

Benefits: Deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux to run business-critical SAP solutions gave OCPS a cost-effective, stable operating system that requires less maintenance and increases security

“Deploying Red Hat alleviated our concern about viruses and the number of penetration points, allowing us to focus on more productive IT initiatives. Running SAP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux has given us the more
secure and scalable operating system that we needed to stay within budget without sacrificing performance”

-Thomas McNabb, assistant director, device management, Orange County Public Schools
