UK's No 1 Motoring Website, AutoTrader.co.uk Migrates To Red Hat Solutions for Performance, Stability and Reliability

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Middleware Form Bedrock for over
120 Applications and High Traffic Web Portal
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions,
today announced that Trader Media Group and its website Autotrader.co.uk, the
UK's no 1 motoring website, has standardised its platform on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The combined Red Hat solution
has given Trader Media Group a more resilient, high-performing and stable
platform allowing Auto Trader's internal operations team to scale as the company
continues to grow.

As the UK`s No. 1 motoring website, with over 10.3 million monthly unique users,
who carry out over 106 million searches on new and used vehicles, the
availability, stability and speed of the Auto Trader website is key to the
company maintaining its leadership in the market.* Users seek a fast, accessible
site that is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

"In JBoss we have acquired a platform that already includes all the core
components required, such as messaging and Web Services, resulting in an
enterprise-level infrastructure, out of the box. We are more than happy with
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Our 60-strong development team is happy
with the implementation and the operation teams understand it, laying strong
foundations for the future," said Peter Hanlon, chief technical architect,
Trader Media Group.

Previously, Trader Media Group was using a variety of different platforms to
support various applications across the Auto Trader website, posing a challenge
to maintain in terms of cost, efficiency and, in particular, knowledge
management. The company recognised the need to replace these inefficient,
incumbent systems with a reliable and affordable alternative. The objective was
to standardise its system on one stack, streamlining the maintenance and support
required for applications to run on AutoTrader.co.uk.

The solution deployed includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating platform,
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform for messaging and Web Services, which
included JBoss Hibernate, a high performance object/relational persistence and
query service. Through Red Hat solutions, knowledge management has been
simplified considerably, and because the new platform is open source, it has
helped to build a strong community where staff can discuss issues and knowledge
can be exchanged.

The combination of Red Hat and JBoss solutions allows Trader Media Group to buy,
deploy and redeploy additional servers at very competitive prices.
