Case Study: Ping An Technology achieves stable, scalable expansion with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Satellite Server

Ping An of China Meets Expansion Needs with Stable Scalable Red Hat Solutions

Ping An Technology, the IT arm of Ping An of China, needed a more stable, scalable, and cost-efficient platform to support rapid growth across insurance, banking, investing, and other financial services. Its legacy minicomputer-based infrastructure was straining under expanding business demands, so it looked for an open system that could better support complex applications and long-term operational reliability.

Ping An Technology chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Satellite Server from Red Hat to run on PC-based servers, enabling faster deployment, easier version and package management, and stronger support for ongoing operations. The result was improved stability and high availability with minimal downtime, faster mass deployment, and a more than 60% reduction in total CPU cost compared with the old minicomputer infrastructure, while also reducing failure rates and overall management costs.
