A Red Hat Case Study
Affiliate Window, a leading UK- and US-based affiliate marketing network, needed to refresh and consolidate a fragmented IT infrastructure that had grown rapidly as the business expanded. Working with Red Hat and using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, the company aimed to replace a mix of bare metal and Xen-based systems with a more scalable, manageable virtualized environment.
Red Hat implemented Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to consolidate Affiliate Window’s data center onto 30 Dell blade servers supporting more than 200 virtual machines. The result was faster provisioning, improved availability, and easier management for a smaller IT team, while Red Hat helped Affiliate Window cut operational costs by 26% and reduce its physical footprint by 46%.
