Linux to Handle a Third of World's Travel Tickets

Linux is going to be handling a third of all travel bookings in the world now that IBM has persuaded Cendant Corporation to switch its Galileo 360 eFares engine to Linux-based xServers. Cendant is supposed to save a massive 90% over three years. The Cendant system processes 300-400 transactions a second from 500 airlines to deliver fare information to both consumers and travel/airline agents. The new system, which links with mainframes, saves hours of pre-processing to post new fares quicker.
