Hosting, Cloud and Corporate Data Center Customers Drive Extensive List of Enhancements
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - May 20, 2009 - LinMin, maker of award-winning LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning,
today unveiled Release 5.4, featuring "Turbo-Imaging," a
high-performance disk imaging subsystem for disaster recovery, new
operating system media management, updated Linux® and Windows® Server
provisioning, extensive logging and numerous other features requested
by corporate, cloud and hosting company data center managers.
Turbo-Imaging
brings disaster recovery to a new level with automatic file system
detection, intelligent compression and other capabilities that make it
easy for data center managers to quickly roll systems back to a
known-good state in case of software corruption, malicious attack or
other failure. Combining server provisioning (remote, unattended
operating system installation) and disk imaging in a single product
makes LinMin an indispensable solution in deploying, repurposing and
recovering the commodity hardware infrastructure layer used in hosting,
corporate, cloud and other data center environments.
"We
use LinMin extensively in our three hosting data centers for
provisioning and imaging our Linux and Windows servers," said Andrew
Cartwright, CTO of FiberHosting.
"We are now implementing LinMin's application programming interface
(API) to enable FiberHosting customers with dedicated servers to
control their systems from the bare metal up. This increases customer
satisfaction and reduces our own operating expenses."
"The positive feedback we're getting from customers is most gratifying," said Laurent Gharda,
CEO and founder of LinMin Corp. "There is no substitute for hosting,
cloud and corporate data center staff feedback to drive LinMin's
roadmap for solving real world problems. As new vendors and solutions
emerge to manage already-deployed physical and virtual systems, the
forgotten piece of the data center cost equation remains the
labor-intensive deployment, re-purposing and recovery of the hardware
layer itself. LinMin helps customers optimize exactly that."
