ASX Upgrades Its Technical Architecture to Improve Requirements for Business Productivity with JBoss Middleware

Australia’s primary securities exchange uses
Red Hat to deliver greater stability and performance across
mission-critical applications
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX), one of the world’s leading financial market
exchanges and the first major financial market open every day, has
successfully migrated mission-critical legacy applications to Red
Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP).
ASX first deployed JBoss EAP in 2011 as part of a Red Hat Global
Services implementation aimed at modernizing legacy technologies
and using JBoss EAP to increase reliability, speed to market, and
facilitate the introduction of customer-centric web applications.
In pursuit of the company’s goal to become the world’s most
respected financial marketplace, ASX knew it needed to upgrade to
more stable, consistently performing, cost-effective applications.
After the initial ASX Online Company migration to JBoss EAP in 2012
yielded a go-live environment that was robust and stable, with
lower server support costs and more time for developers to focus on
innovation, ASX used JBoss EAP to build the ASX.com backing API and
the Sharemarket Game, which currently accommodates more than 20,000
players. ASX is a high-traffic site and JBoss EAP helps deliver
improved user experience and website performance with greater
back-end stability. ASX now runs critical B2B applications on Red
Hat, including the ASX Online, which is at the center of
Australia’s capital market, as it is a regulatory requirement for
all financial market participants. Every day, key stakeholders are
using it to update prices, issue company announcements and deliver
critical reporting to the market.
As a public service, ASX faces intense regulatory and compliance
scrutiny. If the company’s websites and web properties are down or
unavailable, the general public may mistakenly assume that the
market is down as well. JBoss EAP delivers more consistent
stability, uptime, performance and flexible functionality. Other
benefits observed with Red Hat include:
- ASX’s website and application reboot
times are 60 times faster than with the legacy application,
enabling quicker recovery to minimize associated risk
- The ability to have self-healing
applications: no manual intervention required to re-establish
database connectivity for applications when lost
- On-site training from Red Hat
Enterprise Linux certified trainers, quick response time for
customer services requests
- Cost-effective platform cut operating
costs in half
- Automated platforms free up developers’
time from the day-to-day maintenance tasks to focus on
innovation
- Increased security and stability to
function in a highly regulated industry, with reduced downtime
- Consistent and frequent automatic
updates, avoiding disruption to user workflows
