Case Study: Grupo Televisa improves application performance and cuts costs with Red Hat Enterprise Linux from Red Hat

Grupo Televisa Improves Business Critical Application Performance

Grupo Televisa, a major Latin American telecommunications and entertainment company, was struggling with slow performance in its business-critical applications, rising datacenter costs, and limited space for growth. Working with Red Hat, Intel, and TEACorp, the company needed a more scalable and affordable platform, and chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux to replace legacy UNIX servers.

Red Hat implemented a new solution on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with HP and Intel-based hardware, tuning the environment in less than two months. The result was a 60% improvement in application response times, 99.999% availability, and major cost savings, including over 80% lower physical maintenance costs, 95% lower licensing costs, and a 95% reduction in datacenter space usage.
