as its application hosting platform after completing a successful
proof of concept (POC).
“We are always comfortable with open source technologies. We have
a rapidly changing business and sometimes it’s difficult to allocate

budgets. Open source can make it easier to manage project costs,”
said Scocco. “We found that OpenShift met all our requirements and
would be easy for us to move to because we already had experience
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.”
The company expanded its use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
managed by Red Hat Satellite, as its operating system foundation
for OpenShift. In addition, Coopservice decided to standardise new
application development on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform (EAP), with Red Hat Data Virtualization providing near real-
time data integration.
“While we have different kinds of applications running on OpenShift
such as PHP, JBoss EAP is always the first choice for new applications,”
said Scocco. “We know the quality of Red Hat products. The stability and
consistency between updates is key to delivering applications without
problems. We see Red Hat as the only company that can support us in
the use of the latest technologies with this level of performance.”
