Real-time payments software provider ACI Worldwide has teamed up with Red Hat OpenShift to enable financial institutions and payment providers to utilise ACI solutions on the platform.
The collaboration will allow ACI to support both private and public cloud environments as more customers move to cloud-native solutions.
The partnership comes at a time where transitioning to cloud-based infrastructure requires careful consideration, as payment systems are increasingly complex.
ACI already offers a majority of its solution portfolio for financial institutions on premise, as a cloud deployment in Microsoft Azure and as a managed service.
The addition of support for Red Hat OpenShift expands those capabilities for the future.
“With this collaboration, ACI is addressing the industry trend of taking different paths and speeds toward cloud modernisation.
It means that our customers don’t have to choose between their cloud strategy and ACI, and that there are multiple ways to incorporate mission-critical ACI solutions into customers’ technical infrastructures.”
said Scotty Perkins, Head of Cloud, ACI Worldwide.
“We look forward to collaborating with ACI to leverage Red Hat OpenShift for open hybrid cloud to help deliver mission-critical payment systems for customers globally.
At Red Hat, we are committed to supporting our partners and customers in financial services in building and running world-class systems, maximising innovation and time to market, whilst enabling the resiliency and service quality required by next-generation payment systems.”
said Ramon Villarreal, Payments Industry Lead, Red Hat.
