17,000 an hour baby, read it and weep!
Red Hat's (NYSE: RHT) fix-it plan seems to be working: The Obamacare health exchange can now register 17,000 customers per hour with almost no errors. That’s according to Marilyn Tavenner, the head of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the woman responsible for the troubled healthcare.gov website.
Bloomberg reports the fixes include speeding up web pages so that plans can be displayed in seconds instead of minutes and doubling the number of servers involved. According to Tavenner, the site experience “will be smooth” by the end of the November. But Red Hat is just one piece of the effort. The feds have also pulled in engineers from Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Oracle Corp (Nasdaq: ORCL). Red Hat spokespeople have declined to comment about the Raleigh company’s work on the website. Officials have consistently blamed greater-than-expected registration participation as a reason that the website flopped – a claim Andrew Oliver, founder of Durham-based Open Software Integrators disputes. He says it should have been easy to calculate that demand, and breaks down the argument here.
