“ Red Hat OpenShift is one of the top container products , with operational efficiency and dynamic management among its great features , so we didn ’ t need to consider any other options ,” said Kağan Aydınyüz , IT Channel and Integration Applications Unit Manager , AvivaSA . “ We were and still are , very happy with the performance of our other Red Hat products .” Based on the Kubernetes container orchestration technology and Red Hat Enterprise Linux , Red Hat OpenShift is a container application platform with full-stack automated operations and a user-friendly interface on a consistent foundation across any onpremise , cloud , or hybrid infrastructure .
AvivaSA worked closely with Red Hat to design , build and test Red Hat OpenShift in an on-premise , virtualised environment . With assistance from its operations partner SabancıDX , the financial services company migrated four critical business systems to the new environment over six months : pension autoenrolment , a sales mobile application , bancassurance services – a partnership where an insurance company sells products to a bank ’ s client base . The company also migrated applications used by its partner Akbank and usd for AvivaSA ’ s internal operations . After the completion of its IT modernisation programme , AvivaSA now processes close to 40 % of its critical transactions – around five million transactions per day – with systems running on Red Hat OpenShift and its other Red Hat technology .
Reduced OPEX by 23 %
AvivaSA has used the self-healing and auto-scaling capabilities built into the latest version of Red Hat OpenShift to help reduce its operational expenses ( OPEX ) by 23 % by reducing manual work time for maintenance and other routine tasks . For example , SabancıDX ’ s team no longer needs to spend time monitoring and adjusting the production environment to meet service-level agreements ( SLAs ) that ensure service availability for customers .
