SAN DIEGO – During its virtual client conference, Corelation announced what it called its most significant change to its KeyStone product since its inception. KeyStone is now supported and available on three operating system and hardware platforms, instead of the previous option of just one (IBM AIX operating system running on IBM Power hardware servers).
The KeyStone platform announcement was unveiled by Corelation’s founder and chairman, John Landis, who scribed the expansion of deployment options to now include Linux support. That includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on IBM Power hardware servers and Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on x86-64 hardware servers based on Intel or AMD CPU’s.
“The addition of Linux support allows us the flexibility to run KeyStone on most hardware available today and potentially in the future,” said Landis. “So, the most open core processing system in the credit union market just got more open. The deployment possibilities are endless.”
The company said the new offerings include a port of KeyStone to Linux transparently without slowing or disrupting the ongoing development of new features and enhancements, and a substantial increase in KeyStone core enhancement velocity.
"This pivotal development in KeyStone history follows suit with what was intended during its early stages of design: being the most technologically advanced and nimble core system in the credit union market, with incredibly fast development of a feature-rich, reliable, high-performance, customizable, open, and intuitive product, scalable from very small institutions up to the very largest," the company said.
“We felt it was important to position KeyStone to be able to take advantage of technological advances for decades to come," said Corelation Chief Technology Officer Jeff Dent
"This expansion provides Corelation and their clients with a lot more choices when it comes to hardware selection," the company said. "And whichever combination of supported operating system and hardware platforms their credit union clients choose, the KeyStone solution is unchanged. Corelation is committed to providing choice to its credit union partners, all with their unwavering dedication to client service."
