Evolven Partners with Red Hat for Accurately Managing Linux Red Hat Configurations

Online, October 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Evolven Software Inc., the pioneer of Granular Configuration Automation solutions, today announced a formal partnership with Red Hat. Evolven will join Red Hat's ISV Partner Program and create joint solutions aimed at offering greater visibility into granular configuration information that can affect the performance of applications based on Red Hat technologies.

"Through our work with Red Hat and the Red Hat ISV program, we're looking to reduce the risk of production outages, minimize downtime, and enhance security for environments running business systems based on Red Hat technologies and under Red Hat Enterprise operating systems," said Sasha Gilenson, CEO of Evolven. "We're excited to support Red Hat's upcoming releases, and allow our customers to maintain IT environment stability throughout their application stack."

The combination of Evolven and Red Hat solutions is designed to increase visibility and control into configuration parameters and content of critical business systems and their underlying infrastructure during the deployment of new releases and patches, ongoing changes, operation and maintenance of the systems. The certification of Evolven Comparison with Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well as support for JBoss offers customers the ability to compare environments down to the granular level. IT teams apply this approach to reduce risk to stability, security and compliance of their physical, virtual or cloud-based IT environments.

The Red Hat ISV Program provides qualified vendors easy access to the tools and resources necessary to develop and test their products on Red Hat technologies. Additionally, through the program's co-marketing and co-branding offerings, Evolven will make its flagship solution, Evolven Comparison® available to Red Hat customers worldwide.

Evolven Comparison is a Granular Configuration Automation solution that allows IT organizations to compare their complicated IT environments with a historical snapshot or golden baseline for analyzing changes and differences with a focus on criticality as well as impact. The comparison results are presented visually for fast and easy analysis, turning IT environment comparisons into actionable information that support decision making.
