Datavantage Upgrades Data Center for Gift Card Processing To Linux
Architecture CLEVELAND, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Datavantage, a
subsidiary of MICROS Systems, Inc, announced today that it recently
completed the upgrade of its gift card processing data center.
Located in Columbia, MD, the data center supports clients utilizing
the Datavantage branded, ASP-based gift card solution, and uses a
Linux infrastructure to facilitate processing gift card
transactions. The new data center offers clients distinct
advantages in performance, uptime, reliability, redundancy on all
layers, and disaster recovery. It was brought on line along with a
secondary backup site (located in Cleveland, OH) with full data
mirroring. Technology solutions from leading vendors like Red Hat
for Linux operating system software, HP for hardware, Oracle for
database, EMC for storage area network, Cisco for networking, and
PolyServe for storage clustering demonstrate the thoroughness and
stability of the data center design. "Our data center performance
has increased threefold," said Chaz Napoli, President of
Datavantage. "We have been processing gift card transactions for
more than one year. As we looked to upgrade our data center, we
chose an architecture that reduced server costs and yielded a
highly available and scaleable platform. The net result is improved
reliability and redundancy for our clients' transactions." About
