(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Hosting automation software provider LinMin (www.linmin.com) has announced that its LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning software will support the provisioning and imaging of systems running the Long Term Support Edition of Ubuntu, released by Canonical every two years.
According to its Tuesday announcement, LinMin will support Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on servers, blades, PCs, virtual machines, and other devices. LinMin Corp LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning remotely installs Ubuntu and other operating systems onto servers, blades, desktops and virtual machines. In addition to true native and unattended distro installations, LinMin can also capture entire disk images, store them on the network and restore them for disaster recovery or clone them to identical hardware
LinMin’s functionality in servicing Ubuntu systems can be integrated into IT applications such as control panels and orchestration engines as well as invoked remotely with a browser.
“Canonical welcomes LinMin’s support of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server to accelerate its adoption in hosting, cloud, IaaS and corporate data centers worldwide,” Canonical chief operating officer Matt Asay said in a statement. “LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning empowers our customers to quickly deploy, repurpose and recover Ubuntu on large numbers of servers, blades, PCs and virtual machines faster and more reliably than with conventional methods.”
LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning for provisioning and imaging Ubuntu systems starts at $999 for 100 systems, and $5 per system for infrastructures with 2,000 systems.
“Service providers and corporate data center leaders demand system software stability and predictability in order to meet the needs of their external and internal customers,” said Laurent Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp. LinMin currently supports Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, and now 10.04 LTS Server. “The five year support life for the server edition of every Ubuntu LTS release provides this predictability, and LinMin ensures that customers can easily and reliably deploy and recover Ubuntu systems within their IT infrastructure as we have with LTS releases since 2006.”
In November, LinMin launched version 5.5 of Bare Metal Provisioning, adding Provisioning Rollback capabilities that provide a virtual “undo” button for the bare metal provisioning process.
