“VA Linux Systems, Inc., a recognized leader in Linux and Open
Source solutions for Internet infrastructure, today announced the
release of VA SystemImager(TM) 1.0 software for automatically
installing, configuring and updating large numbers of Linux systems
in Internet server farms and clusters.”
“VA Linux customers that currently use VA SystemImager software
on large installations of VA Linux servers include NetLedger, the
world’s first provider of a Web-based accounting solution for
millions of small businesses; Bristol-Myers Squibb, one of the
leading diversified health and personal care companies worldwide;
and ValueWeb, one of the world’s largest providers of shared and
dedicated Web hosting solutions.”
“VA SystemImager 1.0 is ideal for software and content
management of Internet sites, which change frequently. Once VA
SystemImager is installed, systems can be incrementally updated
with a single command, as new security patches, software and
configuration files are applied to the ‘master image.’ Content
on Internet server farms can be easily distributed and kept in sync
using this method. Unlike other Linux installation and replication
software, VA SystemImager does not require a specific package
format, giving users flexibility when using software downloaded
from the Internet or written in-house.”
