“Linuxcare Certifies 3ware, Ecrix Storage Components in
Real-World Customer Environments.”
“Linuxcare, Inc., a leader in providing comprehensive
professional services and solutions for Linux and open-source
technologies, unveiled today a suite of tiered testing services for
enterprise Linux deployments. Aimed toward original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), independent hardware and software vendors
(IHVs and ISVs), Linuxcare Labs Enterprise Services provides
rigorous and comprehensive product-based testing and certification,
so that vendors can confidently and quickly deliver optimized
products to their end customers. Through its new services,
Linuxcare Labs has tested and certified 3ware Inc.’s Escalade 6800
ATA Raid Controller and Ecrix Corp.’s VXA-1 tape drive in
enterprise Linux environments.”
“In today’s unforgiving market, a company’s bottom line
increasingly depends on being able to launch a product or solution
faster than the competition. Many OEMs, IHVs and ISVs lack Linux or
open-source knowledge and expertise, nor do they have the time or
the staff to thoroughly test a Linux solution and guarantee
compatibility with other Linux products. These companies can turn
to Linuxcare to provide an independent certification and
methodology for Linux deployment. Linuxcare Labs applies a
real-world, working knowledge of Linux, approaching testing and
certification from the customer perspective. In addition,
Linuxcare’s position as a services firm allows it to provide its
testing services independent of any single Linux distribution.”
