"Lutris Technologies today announced plans to deliver
comprehensive support and services for certified versions of
Enhydra, the Lutris-sponsored Open Source Java/XML application
server. For the first time, companies seeking the control and
flexibility of the leading Open Source application server-and the
assurances and support provided by an accountable, dependable
software vendor-can get both from Lutris, a five-year old Open
Source veteran backed by Chase Capital, the Intel 64-fund, and
TransCosmos USA."
""We believe that Open Source is a superior software development
methodology," said Yancy Lind, President and CEO of Lutris. "By
fulfilling our promise to the Open Source community to deliver
world-class support and services, we're helping to make Enhydra a
competitive, attractive alternative to closed-source application
servers.""
"Since Lutris released Enhydra to the Open Source community in
January 1999, the company has grown in size from 25 to more than
150 employees, many devoted to building a dedicated infrastructure
to support the growth of Enhydra. In keeping with Lutris' aim to
make Enhydra the most attractive application server option for
corporate IT departments, the company's growth has been sharpest in
the areas of customer service, quality assurance, and professional
services."
