Red Hat Linux Users to See More Enriched Availability via New Granular Configuration Automation Offering from Evolven

Evolven Support for Red Hat Linux Allows for Detection of Granular Configuration Changes and Classifies them by Criticality and Impact for Less Downtime and More Stability

Jersey City, NJ, December 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Evolven Software Inc., the pioneer of Granular Configuration Automation solutions, today announced their support for Linux Red Hat. Evolven will enable customers to achieve greater visibility into the granular configuration information of Red Hat’s application infrastructure which can affect the availability and performance of IT environments where Red Hat is running.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the foundation of a long-term IT strategy, supporting all leading hardware architectures with compatibility across releases. Linux Red Hat features modular and flexible architecture and management tools that offer control and scalability, and a portfolio of add-on options for enhancing infrastructure and application availability. Availability and performance of Red Hat Linux in the IT environment is critical for providing effective business service. With a unique ability to track the configuration parameters and detect changes and differences, no matter how minute, for Red Hat Linux, Evolven Comparison allows IT professionals to:

Reduce production outage risk: Increase stability of releases and detect unauthorized changes to prevent outages and high impact incidents

Minimize system downtime: Quickly pinpoint to an incident's root-cause and cut time to repair

Enhance security & compliance: Leverage granular visibility and audit-trail to meet demanding security and compliance requirements

The configuration parameters of Red Hat Linux are critical for providing effective business service. Accurately managing the configuration of Red Hat Linux is not an easy task considering its complexity and the numerous configuration parameters involved with the technology. Red Hat Linux includes thousands of different configuration parameters in which the misconfiguration or disregard of a single configuration setting can cause an incident with major impact on the entire IT environment and business service.

Evolven Comparison discovers granular configuration information for Red Hat's Linux. Evolven Comparison's unique Comparison Engine™ includes a set of technologies that deliver clear, definitive configuration information related to Red Hat Linux, highlighting the critical root cause and its impact, allowing IT professionals to focus on what matters most. Today’s modern business systems include interdependent layers of applications and infrastructure, and focusing on only one configuration or a small set leaves room for error, and ignores critical context and interdependencies. The Evolven Granular Configuration Automation solution, Evolven Comparison, focuses on the entire environment in order to ensure a stable business service that meets agreed to service levels.

Evolven Comparison analyzes and classifies configuration changes and differences, by their impact, for Red Hat Linux. Then Evolven Comparison prioritizes and highlights the changes and differences discovered in Red Hat Linux based on criticality, visually presenting the comparison results for fast and easy analysis. Insignificant changes and differences are ignored. Evolven Comparison even makes effective comparisons for Red Hat Linux configurations of inherently different environments (e.g. test vs. production).
