BROOMFIELD, CO -- 04/28/08 --
OpenLogic, Inc., a provider of enterprise
open source software solutions encompassing hundreds of open source
packages, today announced that the number of certified open source packages
available in the OpenLogic Certified Library surpassed 400. In addition,
OpenLogic broadened functionality of OpenLogic Exchange (OLEX) Enterprise
Edition, the industry's first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for
comprehensive sourcing and governance of open source in the enterprise.
OpenLogic Expands Certified Library, Adds Open Source Comparison Matrix
OpenLogic's Certified Library is a collection of certified and indemnified
open source packages that are supported by OpenLogic, as well as through
the OpenLogic Expert Community. The OpenLogic Certified Library is freely
available through the OpenLogic Exchange (OLEX) at olex.openlogic.com.
-- Certified Library Grows to 400+ Open Source Packages -- The OpenLogic
Certified Library now includes more than 400 open source packages and more
than 1,800 distributions that represent unique platforms and versions.
Each open source package in the Certified Library has passed OpenLogic's
rigorous 42-point certification process. Projects added in 2008 include
Mule, Nant, Apache Tuscany, Tea Trove, WebWork and DotNet Nuke.
-- Open Source Comparison Matrix -- OpenLogic has expanded their open
source knowledgebase by launching an Open Source Comparison Matrix that
provides side-by-side comparisons of open source packages within a
particular category. Comparisons help developers determine when an open
source package is appropriate and choose the software that best meets their
needs. OpenLogic solicited data from the open source community to help
create the Comparison Matrix, which initially covers three categories:
Application Servers, Relational Databases and Web Application Frameworks.
The Comparison Matrix is now available at OLEX.
OLEX Enterprise Edition Enhanced
In addition to the expanded Certified Library, OpenLogic is also announcing
new functionality of OpenLogic Exchange (OLEX) Enterprise Edition, the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution designed to help enterprise procure,
manage and govern open source software.
New capabilities include:
-- Private Libraries -- OLEX Enterprise Edition now enables customers to
access and manage private libraries that include additional open source
packages or custom builds that are specific to their operating environment.
Private libraries enable companies to apply OLEX Enterprise Edition
governance features to all the open source that they use.
-- Integrated Support Console -- OLEX Enterprise Edition now integrates
OpenLogic's support offering directly into the SaaS platform. Customers
now have instant access to support SLAs and submission of support tickets.
The Support Console enables IT and development staff to easily understand
what support contracts are in place as they select and deploy open source
packages and to access OpenLogic's support services.
