Postilion, a leader in software solutions for self-service banking and payments and a division of S1 Corporation (NASDAQ: SONE), and Threshold Financial Technologies Inc jointly announced today that Threshold will deploy Postilion Payment Switching and ATM Driving on the AIX 5L operating system, using Postilion`s active/active solution architecture to ensure 100% system availability.
A Postilion customer for more than seven years, Threshold is a highly customer-centric, solutions-oriented, and innovative service provider, fuelled by a passion for excellence. The company has been providing fully managed ATM and transaction processing solutions to Canadian retailers and financial institutions for almost a decade.
"We have a well-established presence in the Canadian payments industry and have been pleased with the high-performance service offerings that Postilion solutions have enabled us to deploy to date," said Matthew McIver, President of Threshold.
"With the active/active feature of Postilion solutions running on the IBM System p platform, we are confident that this will place Threshold at the forefront of the industry for delivering world-class, fault-tolerant, and leading-edge ATM and switching solutions to Canada`s financial services market."
"The scalability and reliability of Postilion, recently benchmarked with 1 000 transactions per second on IBM System p servers and the DB2 data server, positions processors like Threshold to attract business from larger financial services organisations," said Pierre Naud'e, Senior Vice-President and General Manager of Postilion Americas.
"We are very excited to deliver Postilion solutions to Threshold that offer the strength of our active/active software availability configuration, together with IBM hardware and the proven reliability of a Unix operating system."
Postilion applications are available on IBM System p servers running the AIX 5L operating system in addition to Postilion`s long-standing support for the Microsoft Windows Server operating system and SQL Server database.
