Acxiom turned to Red Hat for its industry-leading solutions and support. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the standard operating system for Acxiom's grid computing environment that amounts to over 6,000 machines today, translating to 12,000 sockets. It is the foundation for all of Acxiom's scalable marketing business applications and bulk processing applications.
