Case Study: Global Radio achieves streamlined, scalable web management with Ubuntu

Ubuntu powers online presence for Heart FM, Capital FM and Classic FM

Global Radio, the UK’s premier radio company behind Heart FM, Capital FM and Classic FM, needed to simplify the management of its major websites and reduce the complexity and cost of supporting multiple national brand sites. It turned to Ubuntu to help replace a mix of disparate infrastructure with a more centralized, service-oriented web platform.

Ubuntu implemented an infrastructure where every layer runs on Ubuntu, supporting Global Radio’s chosen hardware out of the box. The result was significantly streamlined management, a more stable environment, and the ability to spin up new physical and virtual servers in real time to handle spikes in user demand.
