She uses off-the-shelf commodity hardware running virtually
any Linux distribution; she targets enterprise computing
environments; and she’s just been released under the GNU General
Public License (GPL).

efforts to advance Linux adoption in the enterprise, and supportive
words are being expressed for that sentiment in various avenues of

“Industry analysts also have responded favorably to Kimberlite’s
release. “Mission Critical Linux’s release of its failover cluster
technology is significant, not only because it helps solve
important problems, but also because it is available as Open Source
software under GPL,” said Bill Claybrook, the Aberdeen Group’s
research director.”
