Leading Travel Firm Flies High With HP-AMD Solution

Overview Sabre Holding Corp.'s Global Distribution System (GDS) processes more than 48 million travel shopping, pricing, and availability transactions daily. Faced with dramatic increases in demand for its online travel and decision-support services, the firm needed to update its aging mainframe applications and hardware infrastructure in order to reduce costs of operation, increase service flexibility, and ensure availability. After comparing the features, performance characteristics and reliability of the AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL585 against other 64-bit platforms, travel-giant Sabre Holdings went with ProLiant servers running Linux Red Hat 3.0. These systems serve as the application-processing layer in a multi-tier architecture, which also includes HP NonStop and HP Integrity servers.
