LinMin™ Bare Metal Provisioning 5.4 Adds Turbo-Imaging™ and Hosting, Cloud Data Center Enhancements
May. 20, 2009 08:25 AM
LinMin,
maker of award-winning LinMin
Bare Metal Provisioning™, today unveiled Release 5.4, featuring
“Turbo-Imaging,” a high-performance disk imaging subsystem for disaster
recovery, new operating system media management, updated Linux® and
Windows® Server provisioning, extensive logging and numerous other
features requested by corporate, cloud and hosting company data center
managers.
Turbo-Imaging brings disaster recovery to a new level with automatic
file system detection, intelligent compression and other capabilities
that make it easy for data center managers to quickly roll systems back
to a known-good state in case of software corruption, malicious attack
or other failure. Combining server provisioning (remote, unattended
operating system installation) and disk imaging in a single product
makes LinMin an indispensable solution in deploying, repurposing and
recovering the commodity hardware infrastructure layer used in hosting,
corporate, cloud and other data center environments.
“We use LinMin extensively in our three hosting data centers for
provisioning and imaging our Linux and Windows servers,” said Andrew
Cartwright, CTO of FiberHosting.
“We are now implementing LinMin’s application programming interface
(API) to enable FiberHosting customers with dedicated servers to control
their systems from the bare metal up. This increases customer
satisfaction and reduces our own operating expenses.”
“The positive feedback we’re getting from customers is most gratifying,”
said Laurent
Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp. “There is no substitute for
hosting, cloud and corporate data center staff feedback to drive
LinMin’s roadmap for solving real world problems. As new vendors and
solutions emerge to manage already-deployed physical and virtual
systems, the forgotten piece of the data center cost equation remains
the labor-intensive deployment, re-purposing and recovery of the
hardware layer itself. LinMin helps customers optimize exactly that.”
