Turbolinux, Inc., a worldwide leader in Linux operating
environments and multi-platform software deployment and management
products, today announced general availability of the PowerCockpit
Software Developers’ Toolkit (SDK), as well as a new release of its
award-winning PowerCockpit server provisioning and management
software. The PowerCockpit SDK enables developers to customize the
functionality of PowerCockpit to meet the specific needs of their
IT organization. PowerCockpit 1.1 adds new features, performance
and scalability enhancements for both security and
high-availability, including SSH Protocol 2 and extensible support
for EXT3 and Reiser File Systems, and represents a leap forward for
PowerCockpit’s server provisioning technology. With version 1.1 and
the SDK, enterprises can now use PowerCockpit’s technology to
provision servers with less effort and in less time, an operational
imperative in the current volatile economy.PowerCockpit offers customers dynamic server provisioning – a
highly automated system for configuring, deploying, or redeploying
Linux servers throughout the enterprise. This represents a radical
shift in the way servers are currently defined and creates enormous
ramifications for every segment of the marketplace. For instance,
IT managers can improve the security of their servers by using
PowerCockpit to easily deploy the latest security updates to
servers located around the world. Service providers can use
PowerCockpit to rapidly reconfigure hardware assets to meet
constantly changing demands — web servers, for example, can become
application servers in 10 minutes or less using just a few simple
commands. PowerCockpit works with Linux distributions from
Turbolinux, Red Hat, SuSE, and Debian.
