THE WEB AND YOUR BUSINESS
Web technologies have evolved rapidly. While that has resulted in better
tools and approaches, your companys web infrastructure may have grownhaphazardly. What was selected as best-of-breed may now seem inconsis-
tent, not well integrated, or too complex.
Indicators of an environment that is preventing you from responding
effectively to business needs include:
Signicant cost and disruption from forced software upgrades
that often, in turn, force hardware upgrades
Valuable budget wasted on software bundles in
order to get the few applications you really need
Long application deployment schedules resulting from an
incompatible or complicated infrastructure
Inability to automate business workows and integrate web
applications with back-end applications
Red Hat puts you in control of your web application environment,
starting with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux seven-year support lifecycle
for each release that can be extended to 10 years by leading hardware
providers acting in partnership with Red Hat. Over that period, operating
system updates will support new hardware, allowing you to upgrade hard -
ware and software independently. That also lets you migrate from one plat-
form release to the next without forcing you to change your hardware base.
Managing your business' growth requires exibility and predictability.
Red Hat's subscription model eliminates upgrade fees, and our open
development model provides visibility into Red Hat's technology roadmap
so that you can plan your future.

RELIABILITY
If your website is unavailable your customers may go elsewhere, directly
impacting your bottom line. In businesses such as air travel, even
a moment of failure can result in substantial business damage.
A recent Yankee Group reliability study3 found that Red Hat Enterprise Linux
deployments averaged 99.99 percent up-time, surpassing both Windows and
traditional UNIX systems in reliability. These results are achieved with the help
of advanced redundancy features, use of hardware RAS features, and the open
nature of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Middleware.
PERFORMANCE
Red Hat systems are perennial
leaders in benchmarkedperformance in every tier of the
enterprise web infrastructure.
Red Hat systems power 19
of the top 20 published 1
SPECweb2005 benchmarks for
web throughput, and Red Hat
has led x86 TPC-C database
performance benchmarks
since 2008. In 2009, Red
Hat systems set three new
records for SPECjbb2005 and
SPECjapp and were highlighted
in announcements from IBM,
HP, Intel, and Oracle. These
benchmarks are backed by
real-life experience; for
example, Priceline.com
won industry reliability and
performance awards2 for its
use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
Red Hat Network Satellite, andJBoss Enterprise Application
Platform.
We were also impressed by Red Hats security credentials since wehave strict auditing guidelines, and it had a proven track record when
it came to its support capabilities.

The Red Hat Security Response Team continually
monitors emerging threats to Red Hat technolo-
gies and delivers xes to most security issues before
those issues become public. They also resolve remain-
ing issues within the following 18 hours. The Red Hat
Security Response Team delivers those updates via
Red Hat Network Satellite, a simple, secure, and scal-
able management tool that makes it easy to keep
many Red Hat machines up-to-date.
Compliance is an increasingly important part of
enterprise security, as security standards are now
a requirement across many industries. Red Hat has
learned the best practices for satisfying regulatory
obligations from working in some of the most secure
and restricted environments in existence, includ-
ing governments, banks, stock exchanges, and the
defense industry.
SECURITY
A serious security breach can have a catastrophic
impact on a business especially government orga-
nizations and online businesses. Security is designed
into Red Hat technologies, enabling them to earn
Common Criteria certications; Red Hat Enterprise
Linux carries EAL 4+ certication and JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform attained EAL
2+ certication in 2009.
Security is built into the entire Red Hat software
stack and includes fundamental technologies such
as identity management, authentication, rewalls,
and encryption. Red Hat Enterprise Linux features
SELinux, which provides ne-grained mandatory
access control that ensures unmatched protection
for your applications.

INTEROPERABILITY
Today, almost all datacenters include products from
many different vendors, and Red Hat products work
well with other systems.
Red Hat's fundamental commitment to open standards
enables application portability and interoperability with
other standards-based systems. Red Hat's extensive
independent software vendor (ISV) certied ecosys-
tem ensures that third-party software, including Oracle
WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, is fully supported on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat technologies can also be used to integrate systems, applica-
tions, and business and data services. JBoss Data Services Platform
can aggregate multiple independent data sources into a single,
integrated data source with its own governance controls withouthaving to retool the original sources. Your web applications can
present seamless and up-to-date experiences when they use JBoss
Enterprise SOA Platform to integrate with back-end applications in
support of complete business processes.
Interoperability plays the critical role of tying your internal systems
together so that they appear as a consistent and integrated envi-
ronment to your web applications, simplifying your applications
and allowing them to provide a rich experience to your customers.

DESIGN & ARCHITECTUREAN OVERVIEW OF A COMPLETE WEB
APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE
RED HAT THE KEYSTONE FOR YOURBUSINESS SUCCESS
Best practices recommend that web applications be built in a
three-tier architecture, and Red Hat provides all the pieces neededto construct an enterprise-class web application environment.
Using experience gained from working with a range of industry
leaders, including CME Group, Emirates Group, and Allianz, this
application stack represents an effective use of Red Hat technolo -
gies and meets the needs of most businesses.
This architecture description introduces the components that will
help you build a solution that is right for your business.

SECTIONS
A STANDARD ARCHITECTURE
The three-tier architecture is a tried-and-true design
pattern for the development of web applications.Following the modular design approach, presentation,
business logic, and data functions are separated into
independent tiers. This allows their logical autonomy
to be matched by their physical implementation,
providing advantages in security, reliability, perfor-
mance, and scalability.
Two Red Hat products are at the heart of this three-
tier design, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform. These products are
designed to work together, save you time and money
on development and testing, and will result in a high-
performing and reliable environment for your business
applications.

ENTERPRISE WEB APPLICATIONS: A GUIDE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
RED HAT USE CASE
THE PRESENTATION TIER
At the top of the application stack, the presentation tier
is responsible for providing content to a web browser
and elding user requests for new pages. Requests that
require business logic, such as logging into a site, add-
ing a product to a shopping cart, or performing a search
request, are passed to the next lower layer, the business
logic tier, for processing. Not being tightly coupled to the
business logic, the presentation tier can be updated and
scaled independently to meet performance demands.
However, as the public face of the application stack, the
presentation tier must be protected by a rewall andmust itself be hardened against attacks. Red Hat secu-
rity features and technologies provide these critical
services, including mandatory access control provided
by SELinux.
The most prevalent web server, Apache, is a standard
part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and provides the
foundation for servicing web requests. For web pres-
ences that serve large quantities of static pages,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers a web accelerator,
the Squid proxy server, that can signicantly increase
the response time for static pages.
To meet increasing user expectations for highly interac-
tive and productive web experiences, JBoss Enterprise
Portal Platform can deliver a secure and personalized
presentation environment.

THE BUSINESS LOGIC TIER
The middle of the web application stack is occupied
by the business logic tier, which is responsible forall actions that require understanding of the busi-
ness rules that govern operation of the application.
Therefore, this tier typically requires more powerful
servers. Because this tier is the brains of the web
application, it also typically requires 24x7 support,
provided by a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advanced Platform.
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the ideal
choice for an application server container because Java
continues to be the language of choice for developing
web applications. It is a high-performance, standards-
based platform, and provides a critical balance between
innovation and stability. The JBoss Open Choice strat-
egy allows developers to use only the components they
need, choosing from a spectrum that spans from a
lightweight Java application server to the entire enter-
prise platform. Other useful technologies include theJBoss Seam framework that presents a single uni-
ed API interface to other Java frameworks (such as
AJAX, Java Server Faces, and Enterprise Java Beans,
Java Portlets, and Business Process Management), and
JBoss Hibernate Framework that provides high-perfor-
mance object/relational persistence and query services.
Effectively managing and applying business rules
may be the most valuable task performed in the busi-
ness logic tier. That task is simplied by using JBoss
Enterprise BRMS, a robust business rules management
system that speeds development, modication, and the
use of rules sets. With JBoss Enterprise BRMS, business
analysts and auditors can easily examine your business
rules and verify that they match your business require-
ments. The result is a cleaner and more exible
application architecture.
Your legacy enterprise applications still provide busi-
ness value that can be integrated with your web busi-
ness logic tier. JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform has a
standards-based architecture that gives you a choice
of integration styles, including enterprise application
integration and SOA service integration.
THE DATA TIER
The data tier occupies the bottom of the application
stack, and abstracts the database or physical storage
that sits below it. The abstraction allows changes to the
actual storage mechanism (e.g., changing databases)
without having to change the business logic tier.

Red Hat has long been recognized for providing the most robust
database platform with industry-leading price and performance. Red Hat
Enterprise Linux includes two databases, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Oracle
is not only certied for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but industry bench-
marks consistently show that it runs best on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Sometimes, the data tier abstracts not physical storage, but other data
sources. The JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform provides a feder-
ated view and interaction framework for heterogeneous data that can
be customized and optimized for specic web applications.
THE MANAGEMENT NETWORKConvenient management is a requirement in busy datacenters. Red Hat
Network Satellite and JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) offer com -
plete web-based conguration and availability management for your
entire enterprise web presence. This gives system administrators and
operations staff a scalable way to perform their duties, including:
Revision control
Software patch management
Server and application builds and rebuilds
Monitoring and alerting
Custom application deployment
First, we migrated
our entire web-basedinfrastructure over to
Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. Next, we ported
our teller platform over
to JBoss Enterprise
Middleware. And third,
we wrote a brand new
web-based cash man-
agement applicationbuilt on the entire
Red Hat stack: Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, JBoss
Enterprise Middleware,
Hibernate Framework,
and SEAM Framework.

RED HAT USE CASE Contact us.
In Red Hat and JBoss we have acquired an integrated platform thatincludes 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
running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Our 60-strong development team
is happy with the implementation and the operation teams understand it,
laying strong foundations for the future.

FAST FACTS
INDUSTRY Travel services
GEOGRAPHY United States
OPPORTUNITY Priceline.com regularly sees millions of page views and thousands of bookings per
day. As an Internet-based travel service provider, downtime and outages are not
an option. The company decided to shift to Red Hat and open source solutions in
order to provide the highest-performing services and applications possible and
to realize cost savings. Priceline.com also evaluated JBoss due to the companys
predisposition toward developing in Java and to potentially generate further sav-
ings based on the open source model.
SOLUTION Today, Priceline.com has about half of the infrastructure converted over to
a mixture of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Network Satellite Server, and
JBoss Application Server with Tomcat and Apache web servers.
BENEFITS The combination of Red Hat and JBoss has been a win-win for Priceline.com.
Priceline.coms application availability runs >99.97 percent and hits 100 per-
cent for most quarters. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the company has realized
reduced security patching requirements than with some proprietary application
servers. Through a series of initiatives, like the companys JBoss implementa -
tion, Priceline.com IT has been successful in proportionally reducing its relevant
domestic operational IT budgets for this type of infrastructure, despite increases
in product complexity and product unit volumes.

Working with Red Hat and JBoss as a single
company helps lower our costs and increases
our uptime by providing a complete software
stack, from the operating system through the
application layer.
Ron Rose, CIO at Priceline.com
Even before I came to Priceline.com, I already
had a history with Red Hat as a key vendor
providing enterprise-level Linux distributions
for demanding, real-time, highly available
online applications. I was also fully aware of the
technical sophistication required from vendors
and customers alike in using Linux successfully.
After the initial company build was achieved,
I knew we would inevitably need to make a
change to open source at Priceline.com,
said Rose.
