GHY Co. Ltd.

• Background
• International customs and trade service group
• Assist importers/exporters to buy/sell more
  effectively in world markets
• Corporate HQ Winnipeg, Manitoba
• Objectives
• 2 Intel Servers running Linux infrastructure
  applications
• Samba, Netfilter, Squid, MySQL, Apache and
  Tomcat, Sendmail, VPN, DNS/DHCP, PHP
• Needed to solve reliability issues
• Solution
• Alternative 1 Put each application on its own
  Intel server (9 in total)
• Better solution iSeries 820 4-way with 9 LPARs
  supporting the Linux applications
• Benefits
• Better reliability
• Better manageability

"We selected Linux on the iSeries because it was
such a compelling alternative to the cost and
complexity of managing nine separate Intel-based
servers," Nigel Fortlage, Vice President of IT.
